No I am not lying to you. However we played those teams, and lost to most of those teams before Geno ever got to UConn. We haven't played many of those teams since the early 80's. (With the exception of UNC, Stanford and Rhode Island) Rhode Island hasn't beaten UConn since 1984-85

Does anyone remember when O'B accidentally kicked an opponent in the stomach. That must have really really really really hurt.

Speaking of pain one of the weirdest things I've ever seen happened for the softball team last year at the Big East tournament. UConn's Allie Genderon hit a line drive off of the DePaul's pitcher's head and was caught by the shortstop for an out, who threw it to 2nd base for a double play to end the inning. The DePaul pitcher also came back in to pitch the rest of the game with a melon on her head.

Men's soccer didn't have a winning season in their first 12 seasons (1928-1939) They went 2-2 in 1928. First winning season was in 1940.
