It's a great accomplishment.

One of my sisters started as a freshman for the Husky's. Her knee was ruined in a bus rollover.

My daughter follows that team like she was one of them (no matter how boring the 30 point wins). She has the '02-'03 team book autographed by the entire team. We even drove over to witness the championship parade in Hartford last year.

I quizzed my daughter on who your daughter might be and she came up with player named Kristen?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

It is not as impressive as the 88 games the Walton Gang won in '70's

Womens teams aren't as good on average as men's teams. I mean that respectfully too, I am not biased against women's sports.

No, I think that was Kristen Stewart maybe??? A guard from Colorado.

My sister would have been a Sr. during Geno's first year so your daughter wouldn't know her name. She was all state 1st. team Jr. year in HS, went to Greece over the summer and was in a bus accident where the bus rolled over 3 times. Had crappy surgery and the knee kept giving out. Made 1st. team all state again Sr. year. Had full offers at places like Southern Ct, Sacred Heart and went to UConn. Quit after Fr. year. Bad knees and too many lesbians on the team.

The story isn't as good now that I had to expand on in.

To me they are different streaks and both remarkable in their own right. One thing that impressed me was the UCLA players who to a man praised the accomplishment - unlike the Dolphin players who get together and celebrate every time a team loses who they think will go undefeated.
