We are like no other

Both Ayanna and Amari can dunk.
I'm not sure which will be the first to do it but it's going to be sweet.

And sometimes dunking is a stupid thing to do.The foreign girl on Dallas stole the ball for a breakaway dunk.
After that Stewie woke up and has been on a one women tear since then.
Don't ever wake up a sleeping bear.

Well, let's put the 21-22 season to rest. We can keep talking about our injuries, our bouts with sickness, what would have happened if none of that occurred. These things happen to alot of teams, but because of the expectations of this team every year, many of our fans are really disappointed in the results of the season. To me, although we made it to the NC game, it didn't feel the same. The journey to get there was not Joyful as we had hoped, but full of trying times that we felt were overwhelming to say the least, BUT we got there.

Are we in a place now that we will not be happy unless the ultimate goal is achieved? 30 years ago, we were like most teams now, thrilled if we had a chance to will our conference title, or to make it to the big dance for the first time. Every game back then meant something, no blowouts, but intense games that put us on the front of our seats. Do you miss that, because I do. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan and my expectations are the same as most of you. No NC, disappointing year, no final four, a travesty. Right now we are different from fans of most schools, expecting the ultimate year in and year out. All I'm saying is that our goal each year is like no other, so only a great season with great wins over other great teams is the only thing that will make us happy. So, that's how it is with us, and at my age I want to be happy again, so we must do it this year. Like it or not, that is our expectation and we have to achieve that. In the mean time, good luck to those teams with the other expectations, and may they have the success they crave. We were there once upon a time, and the feeling was spectacular. Go Huskies.

We will have an exciting team that will get better as the season progresses. Many superb players. We can win it all or get beaten. In any case, it will be a great ride. Enjoy it.

And I think we haven't seen the best of Caroline by a long shot. If she was struggling all year with a lingering injury from HS, and
she ( post surgery ) becomes 100% healthy, we may see a superstar emerge. She already showed that potential even when limping about.

Two former #1 recruits. Only one "former national player of the year." (Not belittling Azzi's talent or potential)

I guess I mean assume “the national player of the year” was in reference to HS?Right? I mean we did have 3 last season if we are counting Gatorade Players of the Year. I mean nobody has had two or more College National Players of The Year since Maya and Tina, if I’m not mistaken.

I agree, whipped cream definitely makes the world go around. I suppose the cherries contribute something too.

Especially when the whipped cream comes out of a pressurized can and is placed directly in one's mouth. The noise makes me laugh every time my wife does it....

When the UCONN women win # 12 NC, I will try it myself!

Go Huskies!

After watching a little over half of the Coach video (I will finish it in the next day or two) it confirmed that Geno is not the first "Geno." He is the second LB, which is not a knock on him or what he has accomplished at UCONN.

However, it did make me wonder (fear) that our program goes in the same direction as La. Tech after Coach Geno leaves and I know that Boneyarders don't want to even consider that as a possibility. What did the two WCBB dominating teams (LT & TN), before UCONN, have in common--a world class Head Coach. And what happened when those two coaches left? Neither program was the same. I think two schools have this possibility in their future, us and Stanford. As a UCONN fan I am hoping we can avoid that decline.

Geno has always said that a team has to suffer before it can become a great team!
The loss to ND in 2001 FF Semi's set up the outstanding team of 2002!
Last year's team injuries and illnesses made the returnees more hungry to have a great team this and in upcoming seasons.
They know they could have been special in a normal type season!
