They’re the big brother, the bully on the block, and the large planet whose gravitational pull swallows up all of the matter around them.
UConn is the dominant athletic program in the state of Connecticut, and despite what old-school Yalies may believe, it’s not even close.
The Huskies are so successful, in so many different sports, that there’s virtually no room for the other D-1 schools in the state (CCSU, Fairfield, Hartford, Sacred Heart, Quinnipiac and Yale) to make their own mark.
College hockey used to be one of the rare places on the Connecticut college sports scene where some of the “other” six could shine.
On Tuesday night, UConn ceremoniously hammered the 15th-ranked Bobcats, 4-1, in an in-state showcase showdown in Bridgeport. OK, it’s just one regular season game, and it probably doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, but what if this is a sign of things to come? What if this season is a jump-off point, where UConn’s hockey planet gains gravitational pull and begins to swallow up all of the large objects surrounding it?
