And bless Geno Auriemma for championing women's basketball.

My husband is a HUGE fan of the UConn women. He vastly prefers women's basketball to men's (he won't even watch pro teams).

It's a great day in this CT Yankee's home today!

1. Very Cool!

2. I'm not a sports fan but I love it when the team members talk so passionately about

the game and sportsmanship. And hearing Geno's respect for them when he speaks about the game they play.

9. I used to do security at Huskey Staduim

That's where I was introduced to the pure competitive joy and excitement that is Women's Basketball.

4. I think the whole state is rejoicing...

and many, many of the happiest are MEN!

6. I used to live not far from the campus

It's a lovely area. I probably should have gone there to finish up my Master's, but I was busy with work stuff.

Someday, I will return.

7. I've never been. Storrs is just a sign of a place I go past when I travel up to

Boston to see my daughter. It's kinda in the sticks. Which is why it is so interesting that the team is so prominent...

5. yay UConn women!

I know nothing about the game. But I am glad to see a post about the women's team!

I dated a woman that played on the WNBA.

and I think they are so beautiful.
