It's unfortunate modoggie is leaving but his pov was wildly wrong. He ignored any comments Geno has made, and to start with his comments about "I go with the player rather than the fan" is wrong when Geno has made it clear his teams are not about title or bust. And in a way Geno is ripping into the type of poster mdoggie is by saying "talk about the other team; accomplishments don’t talk about us losing." While on a chatboard all is fair game but to start a thread negative on a UCONN site in which the team overcame so much this past year is extremely weird. So, when he said he was with the player, and it appears he never gave kudos to for example this past' year’s team, then that pov is exact opposite from the player (Paige). Paige clearly has talked about their losses how much they overcame adversity and how proud she is of her team. Thats exact opposite what mdoggie seems to be saying.
Last year or year before I read a post on another site and this poster spoke of how he and his wife have bene following UCONN WBB for 30-40 year etc. And he said at the time of his post, that he and his wife no longer care about watching Big East games and doesn't care if they lose - only the NCAA Tourney matters. I felt sorry for them and also in a way as doggyd suggested to mdoggie (feeling sorry for him)- what this highlights imo is that the game has passed them by. Look at the 1st link below, Geno is practically crying and he’s trembling after an E win. How can that E8 win be construed as "win it all or bust?" And the 2nd link is Paige talking again about how her team overcame adversity.
I think many of us still appreciate gorgeous passes made by Paige regardless of the opponent. Or the evolution of players from their frosh year to their senior year such as Aaliyah and Nika. Sadly, some fans lose that patience to appreciate. Thus, they disregard further comments that Paige makes as to how proud she was of her team and the adversities they overcome. Or disregard the comments made by the coach that started it all such as the quote below from the video I provided earlier. Anyhow, whenever I read posts on here referring to non-pro-players that don't win it all and teh tema is a bust if they don't win it all, imo it's sort of indicative that the patience of the poster is shot, and the appreciation of the game has passed them by.
"We might not win a national championship but we're right there when it's usually being decided, and that's what matters," Auriemma said.
