I actually think what's interesting about UConn's championship yesterday is the first one in nine years. And unless you're a... big fan of the sport, you probably didn't realize their championship drought has been that long. Like, they haven't won since before Donald Trump was elected. Is that a drought?

The first time, okay. Yeah, I mean, after you're winning, I mean, they had just come off of winning like four in a row right up until that point. And then they lost one two years, three years ago, and then they were finally back in it and won. So, yeah, I mean, I think it's it's almost like I don't want to say more impressive, but women's basketball has obviously grown a lot in the last decade.

And so to win now, even though they do have like three of the number one overall recruits in the country starting on their team, it's still super impressive because it has been nine years since they won one.

No one's saying it's like a long drought, like it's a record-breaking drought.

No, not necessarily.

You can have short droughts or long droughts. For titles? I think a drought period is around, I don't know, seven or eight years, nine years. I think this qualifies.

Yeah, I think it's all relative. It's a drought relative to what UConn was doing prior to 2016. That's all I'm saying.

I don't really understand.

I don't really understand.

rest of the dynamic players they have because it's all a recruiting thing that being said like yeah they're still it's not like they ever stopped recruiting the best players in the country they just weren't able to win because there were better teams that beat them anytime there's an old coach do we have to say that that a coach who was involved back when there were typewriters and then someone who's good at a computer do they get credit for longevity
