    OT: Solheim Cup Friday...EARLY!

    I thought that the pin placements were pretty demanding, both for approach shots and putting - yesterday's seemed more receptive.

    OT: Kentucky & the Bourbon trail

    I grew up in Louisville, and just drove through literally 12 days ago. If you want to really see "horse country", drive I-75 south from Cincy to the Kentucky Horse Park, just north of Lexington. It's good. Then, take US 60 from Lexington, through Versailles, Frankfort, Shelbyville then...

    Paige Update

    she may come in, but, it won't be quiet

    What do Paige Buckets and Larry Legend have in common?

    I said, at least twice during last year's season, that Paige was Larry Bird's long-lost daughter. When she gives a little head-fake, goes to the baseline and takes a sweet little 12-footer, that's vintage Bird.

    OT: Bears

    absolutely the right advice. You cannot outfight or outrun a grizzly. But, the vast majority of the time, the grizz isn't trying to prey upon you (unlike black bears). The grizz is merely trying to send a message, that you're too close and have violated the bear's comfort zone. If you reduce...

    Geno and Q

    That was the year that Bill Gibbons, Holy Cross HC, said "we're going down to Storrs to play the best two teams in the country". IIRC, Waters' book, "The Same River Twice" is about the 2001 season.

    OT: Wire Chief/Alex Trebek memorial quiz

    2. I don't think it's the answer you're looking for, but a lot of animals we think are carnivores are actually omnivores - our local coyotes out her, for instance, eat a lot of juniper berries this time of year. The example I was thinking of, however, is the grizzly bear. We think of the grizz...

    OT: OK - One more quiz before the season

    4. Easternmost point in the lower 48, waaay "downeast Maine". 5. I'd guess that the Bay of Fundy tides make the timing tricky.

    OT: I would have found this to be "unbearable."

    well, when I joined the board, there were already two bears - Grizz and Ice. Since, at the time, I owned and managed a neighborhood packy, and was (and am) quite fond of red wine, particularly pinot noir, I became the pinotbear.

    ONO Postgame

    Where was Tina Charles at this point in her college career? Where was Kara Wolters? Where was Jessica Moore or Stef Dolson, Jones, Williams, Stokes? There are very, very few finished post products at UConn, at the end of January in their sophomore year. Funny thing, there's several who have...

    Comparisons

    Well, it's a familiar reference point - a very human thing to do, compare your "new" player to ones that seem to be similar. I mean, we do it with everything, from cars and homes to jobs and vacations. Given how dynamic an 18-year old player is, and how little many of us follow recruiting them...

    game-night supper

    In fact, they were! The other family, if memory serves, were the Forloins, or something along that line.

    game-night supper

    ah, Crozet! When I lived in C'ville in the early 80's, a trip to Crozet Pizza was a treat. I had a waitress working for me, from Crozet, and there were still family feuds in the Blue Ridge foothills then. She married a boy from the rival clan, and it caused all kindsa' consernation.

    Geno to miss Sunday’s Game

    It can be highly variable - my father had it, one of my brothers, and I had it. Yeah, it's the family male ailment in my clan. To be blunt, the longer you ignore it, it seems the worse the procedure and the recovery. My father ignored it a long time, and had major surgery with major lifestyle...

    Hometown Interview With Kyla

    I have one small nit to pick with this article - nothing to do with Kyla, and, only slightly with the writer. But, the author does something not uncommon, when listing the UConn "greats" preceding Kyla: he forgets Tina Charles. Tina Charles. All-American, post player for two undefeated...

    ESPN: Holly Warlick says Geno Auriemma's criticism of Lady Vols 'not fair'

    It is personal to Tony and some others, Broadway: it's personal, because in the FBI complaint - yes, FBI - filed by Tennessee, complaining about UConn, certain Boneyard posters were mentioned, BY NAME. So, yeah, if the Almighty Lady Vol Program names you in a complaint with the FBI, you kinda...

    Young Girls Want To Play For Geno, This Young Guy Wants To BE Geno

    Young Geno is calling somebody the worst post player in America, and that they couldn't guard a chair, not saying that somebody's really, really good!

    Two Not Great Omens

    While I hope that Geno is with us for some time to come, when that day does come .. I hope folks are happy for him, and not bitter. He's been at this a long time, had, literally, unparalleled success, and when he decides it's time for grandkids and golf, we should all applaud and raise a...

    Tonight - watch first night activities here

    It's been many, many years since I've been to one - I go back to when the women's team had their own event. In October of 2000, I was in the stands as the players were introduced, one by one. It was dark, with a spotlight highlighting each individual player as they were presented. Starting...
