Message: [QUOTE="CockyDoc, post: 4310999, member: 12073"] I am posing a quick question for long time UConn WBB fans: "Do you prefer the historical dominance of UConn WBB during their run of 11 NCs when they completely dominated and outclassed every opponent that they faced, or do you prefer the new competitive landscape of WBB with a different National Champion every year for the past 5 years". I am sure that it is difficult for a fan base who typically only worried about how many points their team would win by (5 undefeated seasons and 9 seasons with only one loss in the last 20 years) to now having legitimate concerns about making it to the next FF and wondering when the next NC will happen. The end of the complete domination of UConn WBB has been a boon to renewed interest in WBB across the country. The sport now has multiple fan bases that feel as if they have a true chance at winning a NC. I would think that even the competitive spirit of the Husky fans should be renewed by the current climate. The thrill of sports lies in not knowing the outcome of the game until the final buzzer and how boring must it have been for Husky fans when the outcome was never in doubt. Is it now more fun going to Husky games when there is a chance that they may lose...or win? No team will ever have the type of dominance that occurred during the "Geno era". As noted in the recruiting threads, UConn must now fight for high school recruits when in the past Geno would probably just look at the HS Recruit rankings and select the players that fit his system and they would be on the first thing smoking to Storrs (11 number one ranked HS recruits since 1998). As a SC WBB fan, I am enjoying our current success, but I know that we will need to reload after the "Boston Years". That makes recruiting fun and exciting for not only our team but I am just as interested in seeing how the other top teams are faring. Competition is great and I hope that Husky fans are enjoying the NEW LANDSCAPE OF WBB. [/QUOTE]
