Winning Streak Doesn't Count

It just gets old listening to these blowhards spout off about things they have no interest/knowledge in. Best to let let them do what they do in solitude.
 
At least there are some people out there that now know UCONN has a 100 game win streak that didn't know before. :rolleyes:
 
I emailed Massorotti the other night and told him he was an ignorant jack*%@. I explained how it's not just about the score. It's about a group of young women who are role models for young girls everywhere, who go out into the community, visit schools, talk to the students and help raise money for charities. Also, as the research says girls who participate in sports do better academically, and they wait a lot longer before having sex because they realize what's most important - relationships.
 
The article is more of a testament to ignorance than anything else. I was recently watching a power 5 mens game with a ranked team vs. an unranked team. The ranked team would get a bit of a lead and just when it felt like a run to stretch out the lead the other team would get an offensive rebound or two. It kept the unranked team in the game. This happened repeatedly, poor defense, not blocking out, time after time. This was a ranked team that is expected to fare well in the tournament and they let a lesser team hang around all game (won by 5) simply because they didn't play fundamental defense. I thought this would never happen in a UCONN game, Geno would have went crazy on his team. It really makes you appreciate how well coached UCONN is and how they play the game.
 
Tongue in cheek. He amused himself. No biggie.

I don't know if "tongue-in-cheek" is the correct descriptor or not, but people who write trash like this know full well what kind of reaction will be thereby provoked. In so doing, they undeniably succeed in their clear original intent: to draw more attention to themselves than to the subject about which they are purportedly writing. Is it cheap? You bet. Unworthy of someone who calls himself a journalist? Natch. But predictable? Sadly, even more so!
 
Yeah, this guru makes a lot of sense. I can see how UConn would really struggle in the Big 14 or whatever it is. Or how about that scary PAC 10. And Walker should pass up a free education to make 40K and get beat up for a couple years in the WNBA to eventually make some decent money overseas if she hasn't gotten hurt yet.

Talking UConn 100 wins ... my take ... if they were in a power 5 league they would not have 100 straight wins
KK discusses this along with the idea that Megan Walker should go straight to the WNBA if she was allowed.UConn discussion starts at 2:25

Expand ...

Maybe this guy has missed the previous two streaks of 70 games (2001-2003) and 90 games (2008-2011). If my memory serves me well, I believe UConn was in the BigEast Conference during these two streaks...didn't realize the BigEast was NOT a "power conference" back then! Head bang
