Hi Yarders! I missed you! Wanted to let you know that the UCONN BOOKSTORE ordered retro jerseys for Ray & Rip. Saw Ray's earlier & it looks GREAT! Trying to get these guys to come in the store to do autographs as well. Will keep you posted!

I happen to know that players DO read this board. We should always remember that they are young adults & learning. They have a way to go before they reach the Dali Lamas on the Boneyard cite. Thanks for the reminder, Nan!

Happy Birthday, Donyell! Glad you're celebrating in Connecticut!

I wondered, with KO coaching the under 19 USA players, if this was gonna happen. So glad that it IS! Thanks for posting Marat. Do we know who is gonna be there? Would love to see Kemba, Bazz & Ray!

LOVED the epic Rip/Ray battles in the NBA. Miss those!

Sorry, Good. Maybe 'Yarders thought that it would be unfair to share that information before Morgan did!

Yes. UCONN's board of trustees met today & the word is now official. B&N representatives are coming tomorrow to speak to Co-op staff. Staff has been promised employment at current pay, but hours & benefits have not been guaranteed.

LOL! Perhaps...I was an adopted child!

Joobie is a nickname one of my co-workers bestowed upon me (& stuck) many years ago. The former players in my avatar personify what is best about UCONN basketball (& Bazz is also one of my favorite people on the planet).

I LOVE that Shazazz Napier has twice as many championship rings than Boeheim!!

Congrats, Donyell! My only piece of advice is that you discourage your players from returning books at the end of the semester that are still in their original packaging!

I watched the first half of the Baylor/OSU game. My impression is that if we defend the 3 consistently, we will be FINE! UCONN by 15.

My entire family left me alone to watch the game by myself. Prolly a good thing....I was sobbing at the end!

This is all so sad. I was a big fan of Jeff's when he played for UCONN. He was one of the "blue collar" guys who worked hard & could always be counted on to clean the glass or hustle for the loose balls. It sounds like a few screws have come loose, eventhough I agree with the premise that...

Between Barkley & Obama, we can't lose! GO HUSKIES!
