    Can Ice have a big season this year?

    There is little doubt that she has the skills, but....there have been times throughout the last season when I thought you could question her decision-making. I think consistency has been her biggest problem and may keep her out of the lineup in favor of more consistent forwards. As always, we'll...

    Preparing for the coming season

    We're hoping to get to AZ for the Final Four as well. Lived in Tempe for nine years. It will be fun to go back and revisit some of the places we enjoyed so much, adding the basketball games to the menu as well.

    OT: Maybe it’s time to get rid of the AP Poll once and for all - Awful Announcing

    Let's say you are a new fan. No (to answer a previous poster), you may not want to watch only the good teams. But what polls do is tell that person the relative quality of the team they are watching. So, for example, if one such fan tunes in UConn Vs. Butler, say, and watches UConn win by 42...

    Preparing for the coming season

    Really looking forward to the season, so we just bought tickets to the Hall of Fame tournament at Mohegan Sun in November. We live in Florida, so it's one of the few opportunities to see the team in action live (although with a significant trip attached). Hope to buy tickets to the USF game in...

    OT - doing anything productive this summer

    I retired 8 years ago. It lasted all of four months, and then I tried to find some kind of work. Having spent my whole like in writing/marketing/PR/communications, I had little hope of finding anything in small-town Florida where we moved. Then saw an ad from the local Boys & Girls, Club, which...

    bands with multiple lead singers

    Nice to know someone else who likes this band. I heard an interview on NPR years ago, looked them up abd git hooked. Great to hear them again.

    WNBA? No thanks

    For many years -- more than I care to think about -- I've enjoyed women's college basketball, UConn-style. While I'll watch the men's NCAA tournament sometimes, especially if an upset is possible, I've never been that big a fan. And it's probably just me, but I find the NBA unwatchable. Lately...

    In case you missed it - Serah vs #2 UCLA highlights

    She can be a real difference-maker for the team.

    Over The Top Or A Unicorn?

    As others have said, this is AI from the get-go. I watched a few of these early on and noticed inaccuracies. Who knows who is behind these videos? The voice identifies itself as "your host." No name. That says a lot and makes me skeptical of all of it. The originator of this video, whoever it...

    Lyrics From Songs That Seem To Make No Sense

    "'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain." America -- "Horse with No Name." One partial sentence, three negatives. My head wants to explode.

    OT: Grammar controversy

    Ending all sentences with prepositions will turn you into Yoda. And anyway, it's way too much work.

    OT: Grammar controversy

    I've been a professional writer in a number of very different fields for more than 50 years. They way I've dealt with this has been like this: 1. Follow the rule when you can, which turns out to be the vast majority of the time. This often helps the reader, because the "to" or "with" hanging off...

    Cori Close on the UCLA loss to UConn

    Close was thoughtful and composed, and to me, made a lot of sense.
