    An Appeal to Posters - Players’names

    Look,....I am 79 and going to be 80 in a few months. A lot of folks in my age group especially me do not understand the abreviations, initials of players names, the special initials of expressions, nor can I remember all of this from thread to thread. My gereration, during and post WWII...

    ANTICIPATION!

    Last year, I awaited the new season with great anticipation because of the new incoming recruits and what they would potentially bring to support a competitive team for UConn. They did not disappoint. Now, with the tidbits of information being reported on this site, my anticipation is even...

    OT: Old Movies Trivia

    When I was a very young person in the 1950's, Dad brought home a TV set: a new Philco. Most of the time TV went off the air at 11:00 PM except for Friday, Saturday and Sundays. My Mom and I use to stay up at night together and watch late night movies together that were made during the the 1930's...

    OT: Egg Bagel

    When I went to UConn in 61 and when I was stationed at Groton, I was introduced to and enjoyed egg bagels over those years with lox and cream cheese. These were not packaged bagels as they are today, but purchased in bakeries or Jewish Delis. There was a Jewish Deli on Albany Ave in Hartford...

    So, let's face it:

    unless a vacine is widely distributed, the prospect of sports especially basketball is going to be very limited. Just as my hopes of seeing the UConn Huskies Women play with all of their fantastic talent, boom, a covid report is listed. Too bad. Lots of great sports entertainment will be lost...

    OT- Predicting Cold Snowy Winter for the Northeast

    Just got the extended weather report from gas company that pumps Natural Gas from the wells on my property. They say that weather predictions especially the Farmer's Almanac call for a cold snowy winter for the Northeast. They asked me if it was ok to ramp up production for the winter months...

    OT: Code of the West

    Last night I was awakened by an alarm that went off that my fencing was breached. I have cameras all over the property that record and let us view the scene live. What we saw was a trailer truck and 3 suv's lined up with people moving rapidly around near the cattle grazing within 50 yards of the...

    So, what is going to happen to the freshmen?

    We all have been anticipating this class of freshman coming in to join the team. These young women have been touted to be above average and our expectations have also have anticipated a great season especially with UConn joining the Big East. If these guys have 4 seasons to play and graduate...

    OT -People: Get Outside

    Living on a ranch in Northeastern NM you have to get outside. Weather is very good, but lots of things to do especially taking care of the stock and getting the first 500 acres of hay in the ground. Besides that, it's Spring Trout season and even though the run off from the mountains is quick...

    OT: Thinking about D-Day

    I am in awe and will always be in awe of the sacrifice that our great men and women made on that day. I also was impressed with the stories of the survivors who were there and were lucky enough to return home and make a life. D-Day was a meat grinder. In my 23 years in the Marine Corps, I have...

    Thinking back this year, I was very

    impressed with the way the UConn women played the game of basketball. I saw a real team effort and a very challenging game with everything on the line. To be candid, I had expected the team to lose to Louisville. I just thought that they were toO dominant and that who knows what team will show...

    For those of you who know the bits and bytes of UConn basketball, can you answer the question: where was Gabby Williams ranked as a player and what other college basketball programs were recruiting her? Thank you.

    AAC Tournament is a joke!

    Why don't they just hand UConn the championship Trophy on Day 1 and let the other teams play for second place. This is not a question. There is not one team in this league that can compete with UConn and make it a game. UConn would be better off competing against it's male practice players...

    Have you ever thought about

    the "Losers". I have followed this board for many years and when it was recruiting season, I have seen posters wishing specific recruits to join the UConn family and continue the winning tradition. Well, quite a few of the young women decided that their destiny would be better served in joining...

    Basking in the after glow and

    smoking a cigar this morning. I am a UConn grad 1964 and began to watch the women play in 1995. I am 73 and the past four years was a gift for me to see. Since there are a number of us in this age group that are UConn fans, we had the opportunity to see this little bit of history and bask in...
