crazy random thought: blanca in time will show as the clone of Catch, though a bit taller. not too shabby, but i may not around to say 'i predicted it'.

rushmore is a bad metaphor (simile? ... urrr, whatever!) cause in fact the dudes carved up there are NOT the topmost U.S. presidents. GW is a lock, abe has a strong case -- but jeff and teddy not-so-much. uconn has MORE than 4 who deserve recognition, obviously. rushmore just won't do. 7...

if i were a USC fan, i'd be outraged and disgusted the trojans were unable to retain her services. horrible, just horrible! HUGE mistake. ... since i am not a fan of any LA-based team and a huskies backer, i am very grateful. someone said in a BY post that most here weren't expecting K9 to be...

hell, ain't everybody? 😇

i would wager that geno did have and will express his concerns to the team. ... he doesn't have to share them with the media/the public. he still has some, i daresay, and surely will address them as a 'teaching opportunity" with the players. and btw, why shouldn't posters share their concerns...

first game, so i don't expect a FF performance. however, i was unhappy to see three things that were carried over from last season, and i hope they will be fixed this year: 1) the universal bad day on OPEN treys. and individually i see a recurring dilemma with ashlynn and azzi. we shall see if...

are not these watch lists altered as the season advances? could allie make a run for the honor? indeed she could. 🤞

she did more in the scsu game: good cuts through the lane, lots of purposeful movement, showed she can drive and score inside, and hustled. very favorable traits. a promising game.

allie was most impressive with her overall activity. constant movement on office, hustle on defense. excellent advance over frosh year (OTOH, she rarely had opportunity to demonstrate this as a frosh).

i absolutely see this as a significant, purposeful signal that uconn does things differently, its approach to wcbb is different, and the results have proved its way is best ... if your goal is winning on the national stage (and advancing to the pros if you have it in you). i think the major...

i'm no stats guru. for those of you who are, can u come up with a stat that measures the 'clutch factor' in a player's performance. i guess that's a no-can-do. yet the 'eye test' tells me that players -- such as maya and paige and other lesser players (maria conlon comes to mind) -- are the...

good question! i don't think we know. oldude offers the rote explanations, which are no doubt accurate -- as far as they go. but i am among many (at least i hope there are many) fans that had hoped to have 'the rest of the story.' that guy harvey had the right idea ... journalists ought to...

love this post. what's in bf suggests to me a problem for the fans: will geno steal the source of pleasure you relish from the fans? will these many developing players get a chance to provide it? if we don't see them playing, if they're glued to the bench, how do we enjoy their development...

in ireland, english is spoken. 👌 maybe gandy knows some gaelic? ☘️👨‍🎓️

watch out. i posted my one word -- Janus * -- and someone deleted it. Machiavelli may face the same fate. good luck. * if u check it out, janis is a good roman god, not an insult to mr. auriemma. janis is known for bringing forth good things.
