Why do posters continue to bash me for recognizing the success Uconn had the past 15 years and correlating it to growth in the fanbase?
It has been stated by many Uconn posters on this board that it is important for the Uconn fanbase to grow and reach new demographics (ie locations, age, sex, race, etc). As I previously said, I am not questioning the loyalty or support of the Uconn fanbase. I did not say that Uconn didn't have a fanbase or winning seasons prior to 1999. I stated that I see 1999-present as an important time frame for reaching new demographics. I then stated that these new fans will create another spike in fanbase in another 10 years when they pass the fanbase support on to their children. I do not think anyone can argue that Uconn did not reach new demographics during this time frame.
Why are you interpreting it as bashing? I was simply disagreeing with how you framed it. I mean, the dynamic you're describing, of expanding the fanbase to younger people, goes on everywhere else too. It's no big deal really.
