Trying to think of the best UCONN Sporting Moments of 2010...
1. Dave Teggart kicking a 52 yard field goal to get UCONN into a BCS Bowl. Everyone knows I love Women's Basketball, but I, an optimist and huge UCONN fan never really thought that UCONN would be in a BCS bowl this quickly. To do it in a year in which started so poorly is also remarkable. I wrote off the season as a disappointment after Louisville. Thankfully no one on the team did.
2. This is an obvious DUH UCONN Women's Basketball winning it's back to back Undefeated National Championship by Beating Stanford
3. Today, UCONN Women's Basketball beating Ohio State to win their 88th straight game to tie UCLA...this will be changed to suit whichever number they get too.
4. UCONN Men's Basketball winning Maui Invitational
5. Football defeats West Virginia...finally. I remember all of the jokes in the school newspaper about how West Virginia scored again after losing to them in 2007.
6. UCONN Men's Basketball beats #1 Texas at Gampel Pavilion. Last year's Men's team was not up to par (nice way of putting things), but beating Texas on CBS was still really sweet. I cringe putting this here but I was at the game and realize it deserves to be there.
7. UCONN Women's Soccer ends Notre Dame's 77 game unbeaten streak in conference play.
8. UCONN Baseballs 2010 season, a year in which they hosted the NCAA's...as a 2 seed, but that's still pretty good
9. UCONN beats South Carolina in PapaJohns.com Bowl. UConn wins another Bowl and does so convincingly over an SEC team.
10. UCONN Women's Basketball beats Baylor. Either in the NCAA's or regular season. Both were special games.
That's my list, off of the top of my head. Can't believe I don't have us winning a National Championship as my number one moment, because usually that's how I lean. However, making a BCS game when your program is so young is an amazing accomplishment. Literally nobody thought UCONN would be playing in a BCS Bowl...ever when UCONN announced it's move to Football Bowl Subdivision.
