Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2460105, member: 5798"] You said: [B]"I NEVER went back to replay the Miss St game"[/B] - Me either. Like most UConn fans, I am emotionally involved with this team. I'm NOT ashamed to admit it!! I'm on the other side of the country. The distance between us is not a variable or an issue. I'd feel the same if I was local. I was sickened when UConn lost to Stanford mainly because it happened right before my eyes (I was in Maples Pavilion that night). My seats were in a horrible location. I was on an island. I was surrounded by Cardinal fans. There were no other UConn fans close by. Also a victim of price gouging. I paid $55 per seat (normally $18) for two seats on the top section behind the basket. UConn was not projected (by Las Vegas/Massey) to lose, or should have lost. They were up 10 points with 6 minutes to go, but could not put them away. UConn lost that game the same way Notre Dame lost Sunday. Momentum simply overtook them. In ND's case, they were gassed at the end and couldn't stop the bleeding. I watched the entire Mississippi State game live on TV. I don't remember all of the minute details, but I do remember the last few moments of the game in regulation and overtime. I really don't care for [B]Morgan William (Itty bitty)[/B], although I'll give her her props, she made the shot that won the game. NO ONE in the sports world, or WCBB knew who she was before making that buzzer beater. After that, EVERYONE knew who she was. She was everybody's hero. She must have done a dozen interviews with all of the sports media outlets after that. She had her 15 minutes of fame that night. Unfortunately, she was benched in the championship game for sub-standard play. If this sounds like "sour grapes", it is!!! :( Again, I was sickened by the outcome. None of us saw that one coming. It took me a couple of weeks to get over it. It felt like a trap door opened beneath me [U][I]without any warning[/I][/U]. I was sullen and not fun to be around the next few days. So..................why would I want to watch the MS state game over again, and re-live the horror :eek: and shock that ensued? I'm not masochistic. I know and remember how it ended. I choose to watch the replays that make me feel good about the team, the progress they're making, and shows them in a positive light. :) [/QUOTE]
