    Just for the record: I was totally joking in my original post....Go Huskies....WITH CD...9 to go....one at a time!

    OT: Rutgers fires coach...CD a possibility?

    An article suggests a few of the names they might pursue" Carla Berube [Princeton] Bozzella [Seton Hall] Kresge [Vermont] Griffith [Columbia] Redus [asst. coach at LSU] Several others....mostly current head coaches. Uhh...no CD.

    OT: Rutgers fires coach...CD a possibility?

    According to ESPN Rutgers has fired head coach Coquese Washington...a very poor record under her leadership. Many moons ago Rutgers seriously looked at our very own CD but then hired their main target... Vivienne Stringer. CD actually withdrew her name from consideration when it began to...

    UConn vs Duke

    Glad to see this schedule development! BTW: Duke got off to a shaky start this season in their OOC games. Some losses...understandable: South Carolina/UCLA/LSU. Some not so much: Baylor/West Virginia/South Florida. Coach Lawson has turned it around in conference play. Current record...

    OT: USA WINS HOCKEY GOLD

    Help me here. I am not knowledgable about hockey. I found watching this game exciting and the play by both teams...and goalies...great fun. I had NO idea about that rule change in the OT. I thought it made that time more tense...more pressure-filled. Even to unknowledgable me it sure...

    Roast me

    In general opposing teams are NOT "pulling Reed" [and Reibi] to the perimeter. Rather on defense they are often chasing guards and forwards around at maybe 20 feet from the basket simply because Hurley tells them to. Does that typically help or hurt our defense? We know Hurley is a great...

    OT: Today: Shriffin gold medal...UConn connection!

    I did not realize Shriffin's age....she is [kinda] olde....at 30. Ski experts... questions : Assuming good health...at the next winter Olympics she will be 34. Will she compete there? Is that significantly past a skier's prime? Do you think she will take it one year at a time?

    For the nostalgics, recommend watching an early season 1998 game against UCLA

    Swin's basket for UCLA was in Gampel. Do you remember the high school junior who attended that game? Her decision ultimately came down to UCLA or UConn. Courtside was DianaTaurasi!...frosh year at UConn was 2000-2001. Both teams did in fact score over 100 points. Bet Dee was thrilled to see...

    OT: Today: Shriffin gold medal...UConn connection!

    Just for the record: "Olde Coach" was Warren's Boneyard name. bantamlaker: thanks for that long ago post by OC...had completely forgotten about it.

    OT: Today: Shriffin gold medal...UConn connection!

    Warren Witherell was a diehard UConn women hoop fans...also a regular Boneyard reader and contributor....passed away about 12 years ago. Google his name..tons of info on his life...especially his involvement with skiing. Decades ago he founded a ski school for kids at Burke Mountain... 1/2 day...

    AP Top 25 Week 15: no changes in top 5

    I still think there is a realistic possibility that Dawn will be offered....and accept...a head coaching job in the NBA. That becomes more realistic if she is the first woman to hold that position. Should someone else get that job as the #1 then less likely that Dawn would want to be #2...

    Vandy a quick stay at a one seed?

    19-21 from the line? 16-16 also? Seems like Kerry could swish them as well. I just googled Kerry out of curiosity. I found a link with a long article about her...could not get it linked here. It was fascinating with many details about her career as a player and then her post grad career. I...
