Jackson Browne - Before the Deluge

I'm a little surprised that there have only been a few mentions of Collier. My entire family has been UCONN WBB fans since '93. My daughters grew up idolizing the players. They were teenagers when Taurasi led the team up the mountain twice after Sue and Swin's class left and so the call...

How does it benefit the game to not have Regional's in areas where fan bases can access the product? I don't share the dislike for the NW that has been voiced here by some fellow Boneyard members but I don't see how not having a tournament certain years in the south, east and mid-west benefits...

In later posts it has been suggested that it is perhaps a generational thing that so many of us have been unimpressed with the current studio crew at ESPN. I don't find that to be the case. Studio, sideline and broadcast commentators have skewed towards being younger (and I'm sure hipper) for a...

Very old, very tired argument and I apologize for mentioning it again but why don't we play all of out home games at Gampel? I know, I know I've heard the arguments all before about why we play at the XL Center but playing within walking distance of the student body beats them all for me. In...

I have to agree with ex-N. I've commented here before when the topic of the expense of the Ivies comes up that Ivy League schools meet the financial needs of all students so that no one leaves owing much if any money after achieving their undergraduate degree. My daughter was recruited to an...

Memory (especially in our later years) is selective. Thank you for pointing out the "blind spots" in mine. It is very true as you mention that Nicole did have a chance to prove herself later in her Uconn career but, as has also been pointed out by you and others, she wasn't able to pull her game...

I join with others in hoping that this will be just a break in her schedule and that she will receive the kind of medical attention that she needs to return full strength and develop into the player we all hope that she can be. But when I heard this today I couldn't help but to think of Nicole...

I officially joined a little over six years ago after following here closely for about four years. I don't frequent other boards so I might not fully appreciate how good we have it here but I will say that one of the strengths of the site is the fact that we have dookies and Irish and South...

Gerd Muller was the reason I attended my first Cosmos game. Film clips of him driving like a locomotive towards the goal and then scoring with his quick short stroke filled some of our training session meetings years before when I was in college. Not Pele, but he was the definition of power on...

My uncle jumped with the 101st that day. Never talked about the week he spent behind enemy lines before meeting up again with American troops. Never talked much about anything over the years. He and his two brothers were fighting in Europe at the same time. Hard on my grandmother. Twenty-five...

Willie Nelson On The Road Again. Jackson Browne The Late Show..."let's just say an early model Chevrolet"

I followed the Board for about three years before joining. I'm a UCONN WBB fan since '94. I've followed the team every year and regularly re-watch games from past seasons. I played three sports in high school (one was basketball) and played in college. My children were all three sport HS...

It 2040 it won't be either. But I doubt that I'll be here to call you on it.

Is it likely that we will play fewer games this year than Stanford? I like Geno's chances of catching her but I'm not sure it will be before next Christmas. Either way both he and Tara have been instrumental in building the game we love and we can all be thankful for their contributions.

The kids who trained for years and competed on several levels because they love their sport will notice. How jaded have we become about sport that we don't see that it might exist for more reason than to provide TV entertainment for the masses? The best of the best get to perform at the power...

I saw Jerry Jeff play with David Bromberg in the lounge of a college dormitory in 1968. He wasn't a cowboy yet. He described himself as a Rounder and the music from his first album reflects that. The day I saw him with about fifty other students he and David got $300 to split. When they were...

Milford, The only problem with your post is that the youtube clip did not show the whole scene. A friend of mine who teaches theater and acting has used that scene to demonstrate how a single character can enter a story and totally dominate a moment. He's also great with Robert Redford in...

About as dangerous a take on this whole issue as I've encountered. A lot of misinformation and ill informed assumptions here the kind of which have led to states like Florida, Georgia, Texas and Arizona to have skyrocketing infection rates and out of control hospitalizations. Wishing and hoping...

This is a disturbing comment. Simplistic and dangerous.

It was later than that Jordy. I played in the late sixties and I was (by rule) on the freshman team my first year. My kids (who have all played in the last twenty years) thought I was making that up when I told them. I was surprised when in my oldest's first year at an Ivy we stopped by a...

2 NCAA titles.

The lack of respect paid to Collier by some in this thread is astounding.

Oldude, My father was stationed on Guam and then Wake Island attached to a B-25 unit. From there they flew missions over Japan and the Philippines. We probably grew up hearing similar stories about life in the Marines; not stories of the war itself. There was little mention of the grim...

Oldude, My father, a Marine, served in the South Pacific in WWII and you must have mentioned that elsewhere here on the Board. That (and age) must account for my confusion. I thought that we were in the Army at about the same time ('69-'72). In this then case let's both remember those two...

Thanks Old Dude and Coco for your reply's but more importantly today thank you both (and all of our other Boneyard veterans) for your service to our Country.

Is there any hope that Evina will play this year?

You're right triad. I meant to say questioning and to just point out that loyalty to Napheesa on this site runs deep. I follow her every game online, watch her when I can, think she may be my favorite alltime Huskie but I can't answer your question. I don't know who she could replace.

Be careful Dookie. You're critisizing NAPHEESA COLLIER on a Uconn fan site. Tread softly. Most of us here got our Collier tatoos four years ago and she's never given us any reason to regret it.

Disappointing for us; good luck to her.

The fact is that all professional sports have done a poor job dealing with domestic violence issues. This is a black eye for the WNBA. Only the NFL (which produces PSA's declaring their concern for women victims while looking the other way on all buty the most egregious cases) comes off looking...

From my experience your explanation of the Ivy financial support system is quite accurate. My daughter played at an Ivy and we could not pay the full cost of that kind of education and we were only asked to pay what we could afford. The rest was drawn from a variety of funds and it continued...

Maybe Shea is just what they need and maybe the Tarheels' job is just right for her too. Who better to clean up the mess than a native daughter who has accomplished what she has. National Championships as both a player and a coach and a long apprenticeship under the guidance of two great...

Lou now has a chance to pass Tina Charles (only 25 back) making them 3 and 4 on the all time Uconn scoring list and unless disaster stikes Napheesa should pass 2400 against ND.

Tennessee made this year's Tournament when they beat Missouri. There is obvious bad feeling for the Lady Vols here on the Boneyard (with good reason I suppose after the Maya Moore incidents) but they will be included in this year's field even if they lose to SC and then lose again early in the...
