Good morning fellow BYer's The vicissitudes of life continue to prevent me from watching our beloved UConn student-athletes. I think I see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, but, as we all know so well, the future is uncertain. Sadly, I have not been able to read BY much at all. As...

Hi, I love your picture of Paul Erdos! I am something of a math person, and he was amazing. I must have an Erdos number, because I have published a bit in the equivalent of applied mathematics (control and communication systems), but it must be pretty high! There are a lot of interesting...

She has beaten her former team twice. Rather than dwell on the negative of what went down when she transferred, I am so happy for her. It sure hasn't been easy for her physically the last few years, but she is a great teammate and leader. And she must love every minute of being coached by Geno...

Hello all, Unfortunately, I continue being unable to follow our beloved program. It is what it is. Lots of people have it worse. I think I see the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel." We shall see. I know only that Geno did not coach the last game, because, I think, he felt ill right...

All, I have been out of the proverbial loop for a few weeks, not only from the BY, but from our beloved UConn WBB program. Life has a way of getting in the way, as it were. Please update me on what we know, what we surmise, and/or what we pray for. ;) If you can refer me to the relevant...

For those interested, see below on the languages spoken in the Channel Islands. GRIN - The Evidence of French Influence on the Channel Island. Is French still relevant in local press of the Channel Islands? "The Channel Islands (Norman: Îles d'la Manche; French: îles Anglo-Normandes or îles de...

Hi, I agree completely. I suspect something physical is not right with E.

Stewie was quiet, but she led with her actions. 99+% of the time. Not after the Stanford OT loss! :) Per Geno, he did not have to yell at the players; Stewie did it for him. But leadership is not yelling it is a combo play and knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. I did not...

One can be very quiet and be a leader. Stewie was quiet, but she led with her actions. Michael Phelps was very quiet, but he was a magnificent relay swimmer, and everyone wanted to swim on the relays with him. Clearly ONO and CW are not leaders. Maybe Caroline Ducharme, maybe Nika. Maybe Azzi from her...

All, Winning the NC has many lovely, moving moments--the MOP award, the cutting down the nets with Geno last of course, the hats and t shirts, the parades. My favorite moment is what I call the "Jumping Up and Down." It happens when the game is completely decided, but not quite over. E.g., we...

Hi, A good number of BYers know much more than I about basketball. Therefore, I ask for input, so that I can learn. Ono, CW, and E are all seniors. They were all very highly rated coming out of high school--CW was #1, E was #2, and Ono around #4. Given that, one would expect each to play...

1. No more injuries. 2. See above. 3. Let's play with intensity.

The primary mirror was deployed perfectly yesterday. Everything is a go. Now comes the calibrations and testing. First data in June. This is really huge. Physics runs on data--observation in the older days, and now very, very complex experimentation/data collection. The astrophysicists and...

Hi, The 10 billion dollar "Webb" telescope is headed for its home at a Lagrange point--a place were the gravity of the different bodies (Sun, Earth, moon, etc.) cancels, so it can just sit there. Today, the primary mirror was deployed--actually unfolded. So far, so excellent. Everything has...

Hi, Thank you for sharing. This is a wonderful story.
