    OT: Songs that make you sad...for whatever reason

    'yeehaw' shade would love this thread with all the country music recognition. i don't know if these moving musical pieces qualify as songs, they certainly qualify as sad: samuel barber's 'adagio for strings'...

    UConn Bigs

    maybe so but we don't know that anyone in the 'portal' would be what we need either. ---- see serah, for instance. but, natch, the grass is always greener elsewhere. but the shiny new thing isn't always better. i prefer to go with the bird-in-hand who the huskies were happy to have when they...

    Tilda Trygger - possibility?

    for recruiting. u known -- multiple flights overseas and across the usa to evaluate and baby-sit players who they think will fit in. that doesn't necessarily include huge monetary offers to the kids and their avaricious parents.

    UConn Bigs

    jana, olivia, ice (hopefully!). nice potential vs the portal, IMO. but please, why no mention of gandy? geez - there is immense potential that is outasight, outamind. wake up, BYers!

    Announcing for the UNC game

    surely, sarah doesn't give a hoot ... the problem is that ruocco gave an inaccurate (and demeaning) account of the moment. his job is to get it right -- not to mislead (deceive) people who are unfamiliar with sarah's play and see him as knowledgeable. also related, i see many in the BY speaking...

    Felisha Legette-Jack merged thread

    WHY is that, Mr. Patrick? put 'em in another region and they would NOT have to face uconn until the FF (if they both reached it -- and maybe not until they met for the NC). why should syracuse face uconn repeatedly before then? justify that, sir.

    Today's Top 16 reveal

    AND also from the big east, mountain west, southern, ivy, etc. ... even abilene christian; maybe even tufts! so what? any team can lose if it plays lousy against a determined group of ncaa athletes -- despite their 'conference,' almighty and fearsome or not. it's a sport, why it's played, and...

    ATTN: Huskies media

    i read a maggie story today and saw an assertion that the uconn women have been 'fully healthy for the first time in years.' while the narrative is good, the facts are wrong. media should always get the facts right if the facts are known. in this case, they are. the huskies have not been...

    An ode to Jana

    she did start for a d1 team most of last season ... for the national champs, when she was a freshman, as i recall

    Striker ?! Please Stop

    was the word 'sniper' mispronounced? never heard "spiker" applied on a basketball court.

    Players tick me off when . . .

    ... they routinely miss foul shots, make sloppy passes, don't protect the ball, blow layups or putbacks when unguarded, or are careless or unfocused. Luckily, the Huskies don't tick me off often. And when they do the above things, the team is so good it still wins the game about 90% of the...

    Player of the year?

    does anyone know how these various NPOY awards are determined? and who votes, if there is a vote? or does some board or czar of the organization make the pick? if we knew, placing the blame/praise for each of the award picks would be more edifying. thank you

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

    hope that crew of refs have hung it up. they spoiled the game with stoppages and unnecessary foul calls.
