Don't shed too many tears for 18-21 year olds who have the privilege to play a sport they love with coaches, trainers, good facilities, plus comodious college accomodation and board (in many cases) AND... a scholarship. No matter the conference it's all a pretty good deal.

This!!

I'd like to see Geno try Ines as first up sub for 1-3. She's done some good things in her limited playing time.

No no no.... Go back to baseball allowing runner to run through first base, the several rule changes to protect quarterbacks, the rules protecting keepers in soccer, the introduction of flagrant fouls in basketball. I won't think of many of them, but introducing rules to reduce injury are...

Not looking at stats, but from memory Ashlyn is the player Geno pretty consistently plays for the most minutes - and that's been ever since she's been a starter. It's not just her superb conditioning - she has a rare motor. I see others tire, need a blow and or lose focus. Never Ashlynn - as...

Perhaps I'm just another grumpy old man - and yet I wonder... When and how did it become common practice for good people to think nothing of circumventing paywalls? We value an article but don't see a reason to compensate the author or publisher for their work and expense. To my way of...

Hosted a Ukranian "New Americans" couple and their three year old in our home for their first week in the USA. Saturday (4/15) we moved them into the apartment our sponsorship group found for them. Full on Google Translate all week. Worked out wonderfully well.

Excellent news for UConn. I hope that in one more year with Geno, Paige & co she can learn how to apply her chart-topping athleticism in every game circumstance. She could be so darned good.

Great read on UConn. So impressed by Aubrey especially...Caroline also. Thanks for posting this - I came looking for it.

Aubrey! 4/4, 1/1, 2/3, 4OR, 3DR, 4 assists, 1TO, 4 steals. And there is no player quicker to a loose ball or rebound - she has both the reaction time and the quickness/speed.

I'll do a happy dance if we win the Big East. It's hard for me to think much about regionals yet.

As I watch games I wonder whether the practice players ball-hawk and clog up the paint on entry passes or drives. We know there are too many turnovers and blocked shots - do they also experience those in practices where there are opportunities to reset and do better?
