    Stanford Postgame Thread

    The players seemed to have no such problem, even the seniors. Tara, on the other hand, will likely be back.

    Stanford Postgame Thread

    The players had no problems congratulating each other. Maybe it's easier at 20 than at 68.

    Stanford Postgame Thread

    Would have been nice to see it between the two coaches with 75 years of coaching between them.

    Stanford Postgame Thread

    Surprised about the cold, no-look postgame handshake between Geno and Tara, after 35-plus years of being at the top of NCAA WBB coaching. Any thoughts?

    Final Four - Is this fair?

    Ummmmm(5 of them!) there are 4 1s, a 2 and a 3 still standing. That's not bad seeding IMO. Isn't the idea of the seeding to not have top teams not meet each other too early?

    Final Four - Is this fair?

    Yes, IMO it is fair. "Regular Season" (including Conference Tournament) records have to have some value, as they do in most sports, with home games, byes, playing in a region closer to home, and facing less-challenging early-round game opponents. It is a reward for prior performance, and it...

    It can be done

    The 1997 Arizona Men's basketball team took down three consecutive number one seeds on their way to a championship. I don't know if any women's team has ever done it. Yet.

    Stanford vs So Carolina (merged thread)

    Then imagine if you had a couple of early games postponed or canceled creating a substantial dead time, lost a starter to an injury for almost half the season, lost her replacement for the NCAA tournament, and had your coach in Covid protocol for the first 10-12 days of the tournament?. Wow.

    Now if L´ville can just drop the Tree

    Was I the only one who wanted both SC and Stanford to win? This way they can hopefully spend themselves against each other in a monumental Friday night battle, with the emotionally spent winner moving on. Think of wars where a third party, whether a supposed ally, or an inside revolutionary...

    Did the Stewie years ruin the fun

    Yeah, and that summer I spent touring Cinque Terre with Elle MacPherson sure spoiled my next summer. Lousy luck.

    Prognosticators Game 17 (Tulsa) Predictions

    NFL's Washington team did beat the Giants 72-41 on 11/27/1966. Coach Graham had his team kick a field goal on the last play of the game. So, you would still be close to a football score.

    Geno: Duh. Where have I heard that before?

    So unlike our own children, who leave home having been taught, and are now properly applying, every bit of the knowledge, experiences and wisdom that we imparted to them over the years.

    OT: Forevermore is Shorter than Before

    Of Course, McCartney was 24 when he penned this (with help from Lennon) so at that time 64 seemed positively ancient. Now looking at 77(!) next month, 104 might work better for him today.

    OT: Forevermore is Shorter than Before

    With musical choices helping to fill the hot-stove hours between transfer discussions and might-have-been musings, and with the recent spate of "elderly" humor and references in the posts, I am suggesting a look at songs that observe, celebrate, or lament growing old. A chance for the many...
