    Alexa comes back from the Dark Side

    I was scared that the hole in our resume will be filled after this game. This column gives me some hope that space will continue to be empty.

    UConn-Indiana post-game thread without complaints

    The best thing today came during the LOU-TENN game following ours. All those Vol fans would see the UCONN-IU score on the screen regularly and our victory would remind them of Tennessee's glory days when Holly Warlick took them to Elite 8.

    Amy Poffenbarger Clarification

    ?? I do not understand your post at all. I read here that academically UCONN was not super engaging (whatever that means) when Poffenbarger was a student but has become a good academic institution after she had left.

    Samarie Walker

    I wrote the sentence "I find this very hard to believe" and then I deleted it not knowing which way the wind was blowing. I did not want the mental health supporters to pile up on me. Now my deletion have landed me in a different kind of soup.

    Samarie Walker

    I have sometimes compared Samarie Walker's departure from UCONN with the departure of scientists from the Manhattan project. E.U Condon is the best known example who resigned after spending six weeks in NM. In his resignation letter, he explained: Manhattan Project did quite well without...

    Samarie Walker

    Am I right in concluding that according to Samarie Walker: 1. Maya Moore apart, her coaches, teachers, parents and friends had not been kind or patient with her. 2. No one else treated her with respect, openness and understanding.

    OT: UConn football coach Randy Edsall announces retirement [edit] Now effective immediately

    The evil that Edsall did will live after him. Uconn football has been interred with its bones. (Plagiarisation acknowledged).

    RIP Gerd Muller

    I watched that great world cup final in 1974 on TV in Europe with friends. I thought that the Dutch were going to win it. But Mueller scored the winning goal just before halftime. RIP Gerd Mueller. You were great.

    OT: Olympics: U.S. Women’s Soccer

    Very good points. 1. When we were in AAC, many non-Uconn fans used to call our basketball schedule derisively "a high school" schedule. That was partially mitigated by a tough non-conference schedule but not entirely. It is certainly one of factors (no idea how much) that has contributed to our...

    Is it the shoes or the coaching?

    So far DT has kept her powder dry. Many Boneyarders are saying that when she arrives, she will make a silk purse out of this team. I will be very happy if they are right. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Tamika Williams Jeter to be named Head Coach at Wittenberg University

    I first thought Tamika will be coaching at Hamlet's university. Hamlet was at Wittenberg when his father was murdered. He wanted to go back there after the funeral. The Danish King (Hamlet's uncle) and his mother were both against the idea. Martin Luther also taught there.
