    On this date, 2011: Samarie Walker

    So my Facebook feed brought up the memory that, on this day in 2011, we got the official word that Samarie Walker had left the team. I was really bummed because she had flashes of greatness. That led me to finding out what happened to her after Kentucky and beyond. I always felt as if she...

    New York Times Shuttering Sports Desk (Moving Coverage to The Athletic)

    As a NY Times subscriber, I saw on Monday that they're off-boarding their sports coverage to the Athletic (which they apparently purchased last year). Even though much of the Athletic is behind a paywall, I have liked their coverage of teams I follow. I went to find out how much it would cost to...

    Dorka Looks A Lot Like Aubrey?

    Guess the AP editor looked quickly at the partially obscured 44 and decided it was 14. (How does one correct national AP photo errors like this?)

    Final Four MOP?

    Does anyone know who won the MOP for the Final Four? I’ve looked online, but see no mention (yet). I know it’s customary that someone from the winning team wins, but McDonald has to have been considered.

    This from a rather amusing story about Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, DT, and Penny Taylor: NESN LINK HERE Geno and Chris might not be pleased, of course, but . . . (Edit: binge drinking is not cool, I get that, but I still enjoyed the story.)

    AAC Tournament Home-Away Question

    I was looking at the match-ups for tomorrow (Saturday) and I see that we are the AWAY team, while Temple is the HOME team. Can anyone tell me how these are decided? Or tell me how to find out? TIA

    OT: What's a UConn Fan To Do?!

    So I'm a high school teacher, and at the end of the year, a senior I really like (despite the fact that he's leaving CT to go to Tennessee) dropped off a present for me. I wrote his college recommendation and he wanted to thank me. But he's also a sly little bastard, so this is what he gave me...

    OT: A Coach/Trainer Who Reminds Me of Geno

    This smart, small documentary film focuses on New Haven's Ring One Boxing and its founder, trainer/mentor/coach/ Brian Clark, who also happens to be one of the first good friends I made when I moved to Connecticut a little over thirty years ago. I've seen him coach in the past, but like all of...

    OT: Championship Gear

    Here's a question I've always wondered. You see someone come onto the floor with a box of hats and shirts when a team wins a championship, be it a conference championship, regional championship, or the national championship. I assume that theres a box of gear ready-made for each team. So--...

    UConn WBB Text Alerts?

    The Courant text alerts were discontinued last August (2016). After some work, I received alerts last year, but I can no longer find the source, nor do I continue to receive them.

    OT: Help with Watching UConn / Cutting the Cord

    This is a repost, if you will, of a 2014 thread I posted. I was hoping that in the three subsequent years, more folks have cut the cord and can offer their opinions/ experiences. I have become more and more disillusioned by the cost of my cable service and would have no trouble canceling cable...

    OT: The Voice in My Head (Warlick on Summitt)

    A heartfelt tribute: THE VOICE IN MY HEAD I have always thought, especially during the nastiness of Tennessee and Maya Moore, that Pat wasn't OK. Since then, I have assumed that her health was, in part, the beginning of that unpleasantness and paranoia. (Now the LV fans had no excuse; those...

    OT: Berube Transforms Tufts into National Contender

    NPR and Christine Brennan Piece

    So my phone rang; it was my 88 year-old father in Massachusetts who truly doesn't care at all for basketball (though he is an ardent Red Sox fan-- for which I forgive him), saying, "Quick. There's a story on the UConn women on NPR. Turn it on now." I couldn't find it locally, but a little...

    UConn Bringing in Marketing Team to Fill Seats

    I have held WBB season tix at the XL for over a decade, and while I would never think of not renewing, I know a lot of folks here have stopped attending.
