Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 3425437, member: 1772"] The ongoing refrain to which we’ve all been treated during the evolution and the flowering of Geno’s dynasty has been that the resulting inequity was “bad for the women’s game.” We’ve been lectured on how devastating an effect the dominance in Storrs would inevitably have on national fan interest. We were told that, for the good of the game, some updated version of “break up the Yankees” would have to be imposed. Wiser heads, especially on this forum, repeatedly maintained that any effort to weaken the top as a means to strengthen the bottom made no sense, that the answer lied solely in inspiring other programs to devote more resources and to thereby improve. Well, yo Adrian, they done it!!! For those of us sufficiently spoiled by past success to measure UConn’s seasons only in terms of potential national championships, this may come as a rude awakening. In fact, as much as all of us hate to see the Huskies EVER lose, this development should be cause for celebration. A new age of parity in the game has arrived, and, blessedly, is here to stay…and, more than anyone else, Geno, and the example he set, is responsible. That’s a helluva legacy! Is UConn finished winning championships? Of course not! We won’t have to wait too long for another one. But the days of any program winning half of the national championships in a twenty year period are gone forever. That’s OK, I promise. The whole landscape has shifted for the better…can’t complain about that! [/QUOTE]
