Wonderful Mike DiMauro column on Heather Buck

[Lynx23]

Posted on the men's board, of all places, in a typically sarcastic manner but it's a great article and worth a read.....if this has been posted here already, would one of the moderators please delete it?..Thank you.

That is one of the finest writing I have ever read by a regional sports columnist. About one of the finest student-athletes to ever lace on a pair of sneakers in a Gampel locker room.

Nah, that couldn't be DiMauro. I remember him. He's the no talent hack that Boneyarders love to hate.

A very moving article. Must read.

I say don't delete it. something like this written for kid as wonderful as Heather should be posted at least twice.

Try again in March. They give unregistered access to 10 premium articles per month.

The post on the men's board actually wasn't sarcastic. DrewDog is either Mrs. DiMauro, or someone who perhaps walks the DiMauro family pets every day at a grossly-inflated hourly rate.

Wait... was that sarcasm?

 

[pinotbear]

I certainly hope so!

It 's sad to think about the numbe of people on the board who took shots at Heather because she didn't live up to thier expectations.

Obviously she lived up to her own expectation.

Mikey is the Greatest !! This was a perfect recap of Heathers career at Uconn.

Agreed.

It was an ok article. Wasn't all that though.

A failing of this board from time to time... for just a handful of posters

I thought DiMauro wrote a great piece........On a great person, Heather Buck. Its great to see a young lady hang in there for five(5) years and give it all she's got. Never whimper , never complain , and cheer her teammates on. That's what good teammates and great people do. Be happy for the other's even when its not you.
Sure , she could have gone somewhere else , or transferred , but that is not who Heather Buck is.

Thanks for a great story DiMauro on a great player and person.

Heather's contribution to the team can never be summed up in a single written page. Many will scoff at that statement but it absolutely true. She has been a selfless contributor for 5 years. Hers was a tough role to happily fill but she did it with class. Thanks Heather.
