    The XL Center is now People's Bank Arena. *nm*

    Thirty minutes is fine but 45 is out of the question? For an all-highway drive that has no traffic? Especially in winter, what roads are in better shape than the limited access highways? But that point is moot because the WNBA doesn't play in winter. And can you really call a place that has 25...

    The XL Center is now People's Bank Arena. *nm*

    Mohegan is less than an hour from Hartford or New Haven and all highway. I know your feelz is telling you that the casino is a negative but it really isn’t. They paper the house . And they have alums on the roster now. They have alums running the team. There is no pent up WNBA demand in this...

    I'm sure I'd go to a couple. I had a mini-plan before they started comping me. And what's a good crowd for the Wolfpack (6K) wouldn't cut it for the Sun, imo.

    Just tells you how strongly I feel on the issue. They played a few games in Hartford when they began and nobody cared. The Sun has a loyal core but not enough for the PBA and I go to Sun games. Maybe they can turn a profit when they sell to Houston in a couple years.

    OT Where is the best burrito in CT?

    Burrito Loco in Parkville Market does a tremendous birria taco. I never had their burrito but I imagine it has to be pretty good.

    Hartford can't support the Sun. It's a mistake.

    What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

    Nope. Practically nobody was sitting in the chairbacks and like i said the upper deck was maybe half full. I've been there with all the seats full and the attendance was announced 37K. At least 10K empty seats Saturday.

    How big would this win be?

    It would be a nice win but we used to beat Syracuse all the time.

    Dan Hurley “Seriously” Considered Stepping Down From UConn Last Year

    True. Meanwhile ,Calhoun inherited two NBA players one a first round draft pick and the other played over 10 years and was an All-Star..

    Dan Hurley “Seriously” Considered Stepping Down From UConn Last Year

    And how many has he won without his son on the team?

    Dan Hurley “Seriously” Considered Stepping Down From UConn Last Year

    I seriously doubt it. But I will rethink if he strikes out this recruiting season.

    JC doesn't need defending. Apparently Dan Hurley does.

    Dan Hurley “Seriously” Considered Stepping Down From UConn Last Year

    He took a program in the dumps and got them to the big dance in three years. Won the whole thing in five. Won it again after losing 3 guys to the pros. That's extraordinary and here you are throwing shade. He's way ahead of JC's pace. JC never went to 5 tournaments in a row until his 20th...

    Dan Hurley “Seriously” Considered Stepping Down From UConn Last Year

    Not far at all, steps behind maybe. Billy Donovan is at the level of the view you cite. And JC never had UConn men this high in the national consciousness ever. You aren't giving Dan Hurley his due.

    What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

    Just stop with the character assassination. The upper decks were nowhere near full. Dom is trying to real here, isn't that what you want from a reporter? No way there was over 30K in the building. I've been to more events in the Rent than anyone here and I have a good eye for this stuff.
