Several decades ago, when I was an adolescent, I was clearly guilty, on multiple occasions, of adolescent behavior. I might have been mercifully forgiven back then on the basis of my age, which doesn’t change the fact that it was, in fact, clearly unbecoming. For someone Geno’s age unbecoming is...

I am as ardent a Husky fan as one could find...quite literally, during their games, I live and die on every possession. Because I not only recognize the fundamental nature of sports for what it is, and love sports for that reason, at the conclusion of each contest, whether thrilled or...

What ultimately makes sports so entertaining is its fundamental unpredictability. To put it in capsule form, there ain’t no such thing as a sure thing! When you lose, you congratulate the victor and go back to the drawing board. What Geno did, instead, was a classless embarrassment! Time to...

Personally, I hope UCLA is “awarded” the number one overall seeding. Would that be an entirely unwarranted slap in the face to UConn? Of course, but it would only serve to put a chip on their shoulders and give them more incentive. I am indifferent as to how that might affect their potential...

In fairness, the announcers didn’t fill every moment of airtime by trading their useless dribble back and forth. You’re overlooking all the times they both spoke simultaneously!

I always thought that Kibitzer, of blessed memory, was one of the most insightful posters on our forum, to say nothing of his mastery of the mother tongue. I remember clearly when he came up with the concept of awarding a badass award to accompany each team win. What Kib tried to make clear was...

As one would expect, the extraordinary success of Geno’s program has, over the years, engendered huge admiration from us fans, but no dearth of hatred (jealousy) from the outside world. That’s only natural, and the coach’s often brash personality has doubtlessly done its share to contribute to...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, TEAM DEFENSE!

No brainer…team defense!

Eleven games so far, opponents averaging 46 ppg. Hard to win with that number!

As usual, this team’s best player is its defense! Game after game, the only question is “ will the opponent cross the 50 point line?” What we’re witnessing is the definition of great coaching!!

Our favorite team boasts so many potential offensive weapons that even when the perimeter game is lackluster, as it was vs L'ville, or improved as it was vs FSU, we fans have little to worry about on that end of the floor. I tend to focus more on team defense, partly because that's the component...

As with others, my biggest surprise, and a pleasant one, lay in the nature of Kayleigh's contribution. Her quickness, her aggressiveness, and her ball-handling all exceeded my expectations. the PG position on this team is quite secure. Nothing that I saw on the floor derails Sarah Strong's...

Ahhh, Tina...if perchance you are reading this, fret not! Some of us know.

As the new season approaches, evaluating the nearly unprecedented depth of talent on the Huskies’ roster, I’ve been giving some thought to the subject of which player is most likely to amass the greatest number of Kibitzer’s eponymous award. My initial guess would be Sarah, but, if you would...
