Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 2670500, member: 7093"] Pretty much , yes. I would not count those wins in any winning streak. I would never use them as a measure of anything, pertaining to this team's ability or progress. You take great pride beating Tulsa by 45 points every year? You boast about that victory? Good for you. Maybe you should make tee shirts with our record against AAC teams. Have you ever heard the term, Pyrrhic Victory? In our case, the " devastating effects on us, of those victories, is deception." A sense that we are greater than we truly are. Obviously the record of wins in this abominable league counts, because the " talking heads" remind us, every game, about how great UCONN is, based ( largely ) upon this endless streak of victories ( you can't talk about our winning streak at all if you include the recent NCAA tournament record ).......the miracle we have achieved........" never lost a game since the AAC started" ; then they mention, " the actual number of consecutive wins ( some absurd, totally empty number now in the " hundreds."). Only it turns out that our win streak in the AAC is indicative of nothing. That's my point. Of course I hate the league. So does UCONN. Sadly, and unfairly, it is the only one we have. But I would prefer never again to hear the team's excellence " measured" in the context of our AAC domination. I would like there to be a broadcasting law evoked that prohibits any announcer from mentioning anything about UCONN and the AAC. At least until we have two losses or more within the conference. There are plenty of other "landmarks" of the Lady Huskies' miraculous accomplishments which I, and everyone else, can respect. But not this one. [/QUOTE]
