This is not off the wall I truly believe.. Uconn could actually with the right sculptor and large block of granite create a beautiful and tasteful art piece with Calhoun, Geno and Danny staring into the future. It’s not going to be cheap but I think donors would get behind this, and it would...
Field of 68- @RobDauster, Goodman, RC, and Fanta:
I know, I know, another rushmore. But the guys on field of 68 were discussing yesterday (todays show) who is on today's active mt rushmore.
From what I gathered, they weren't considering active coaches who had a legacy and career...
...got me thinking ahead to the fall and Husky Football. What name comes up first when you think UCONN football. Better yet, who is your Mt Rushmore of Husky footballers. Might be recent (past 20 years) or deep into the recesses of Memorial Stadium - think Vince Clements and Nick Giaquinto...
I posted a similar thread about the Mt. RUSHMORE of CBB players last year, but this one seems like more fun.
Which 4 coaches do you put on your Mt Rushmore?
Do you go by wins and include JB and Huggins? (I know you don't, but why not?)
Do you go by stature, despite...
...there are more sweets devoured in the month of December than any other month. That being said, what desserts would you place on your Mount Rushmore of Desserts?
For me. Sweet Potato Pie, Plain Cheesecake, and Pound Cake are the no-doubters. After much debate, I think I will have to put...
I was watching ESPN this morning and the discussion was the All-time NBA Mt. RUSHMORE. They were all pretty much the same 4 guys with a few changes (Jordan, Magic, LeBron, Kareem) but it got me thinking about the college Mt. Rushmore. All time would be too varied so I was thinking of the Players...
...(at least to me) productive freshman campaign. But realistically, how good has it been? If we were to divvy up those coveted Mt. Rushmore spots, except restricting contenders to their freshman year only, whose busts would be carved in stone? Paige, obviously. Maya, no doubt. But who else? How...
...on their thoughts and predictions for the upcoming year.
In honor of the WNBA’s 25th season, each general manager picked their own “Mount Rushmore” for the league. There were no unanimous selections, though Diana Taurasi received eight votes, tied with Cynthia Cooper behind only Lauren...
I haven’t had much time to think about this so I’m not leading out with mine. I’ll post after giving some thought. Wanted to get you thinking about it too. Who you got?
...University of Connecticut program. The Wildcats have had a commendable run in the tournament and the media and fans are reflecting on Mount Rushmore, comparisons of Barnes to the legendary Lute Olsen, and the amazing ride.
This frames the amazing University of Connecticut program not only...
Debate has already begun as to whether Paige Bueckers (based upon her magnificent year thus far) deserves enshrinement among UConn’s holy holies - Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, and Breanna Stewart. Based upon a freshman season of less than twenty games, she ranks with the best in the storied...
Let me be very specific: I'm not advancing a case that Megan is some sort of shoo-in for some mythical granite enshrinement. We're a long, long way from that. When all is said and done, it will likely not happen for a variety of reasons. The most daunting being that she's a little late in her...
Seems like a an off-season topic for the ‘yard if I’ve ever seen one.
As much as I love Bruce, this tweet is wrong. Obviously California comes to mind but I think, if you factor in variety and price per pound, it’s hard to top Michigan.
...pressed to find anyone who would argue against any one of that trio). So of the 7 choices below, we need to find the 4th candidate for Mt. Rushmore.
Please keep in mind I'm not asking about the "most important" UCONN recruit/player. I think everyone will agree that Lobo was probably the most...
Let's have some offseason fun!
Four athletes, open to any sport (and only one allowed per sport). We've got tons of options – just for the basketball teams, this would be an absolute bloodbath.
I'll give mine:
Diana Taurasi
Sarah Whalen
George Springer
Ray Allen
If Uconn were to build their version of an AD Mount Rushmore in Storrs, who is in?
Only get 4 spots (really two)
1. Auriemma (obvious #1)
2. Calhoun (obvious #1a giving nod to Geno's dominance)
3. Ray
4. Lobo, Herbst, or Orlovsky? too soon for Benefict I think.
One of the enjoyable threads on the BY that pops up from time to time is to name the 4 UConn greats that comprise UConn’s Mt Rushmore of WBB. While 3 of the 4 are literally written in stone (DT, Maya, Stewie), the 4th member of that esteemed group is subject to considerable debate given all the...
What 4th player should be on our Mt Rushmore? For the purposes of this I am going to assume that Maya, Stewie and Dee are already on there. So I'm looking for who you think the 4th player should be.
Keep in mind that this is based on UCONN accomplishments, not what was done after college. NO...
...AAC being the Bobbsey Twins, and the HBO show where Geno mentions DT with Maya and Stewie on, it go me thinking of who would be on the Mount Rushmore of UConn Women's Basketball. The criteria is 4 only!
Here's my crack at it:
Rebecca Lobo- she put us on the map, has continued to be the...
We had a thread about this around a year ago. As to whether Stewart would make it up there on the UCONN Mt Rushmore. Assuming she's up there (I am), that gives us ( what ever order you prefer):
Taurasi
Moore
Stewart
Question now is, who is the 4th? I figure you at least have to be a NPOY for...
This morning on Mike & Mike on ESPN radio they asked which athletes under 25 will we look back in 10 years and say they were the dominant player in their sport. McDavid in hockey, Anthony Davis in basketball, Mike Trout, baseball. Golic was pushing for Misty Franklin, the woman's swimmer to be...
...is said and done with her college career.
Given that, let's talk about something equally frivolous, nonetheless fun: the so-called Mount Rushmore of UConn WCBB. Whose four faces should appear in stone on the side of a mountain as THE greatest influences of the program? And will Stewie...
If you were to make a WCBB HC Mt. Rushmore, I think the first three faces wouldn't be particularly controversial. Pat Summitt has to be there- no explanation needed. Geno also requires no explanation. And I think Cathy Rush has to be on there for coaching Immaculata to three straight AIAW NCs...
