    Students & UCMB

    I agree. Out of 300 kids, there should have been at least one busload at the game. This is the new band director's first year with the band. Not a good start.

    Students & UCMB

    Latest update. Marching band did not come due to "illness". Evidently the decision not to send the pep band to XL was reversed.

    Students & UCMB

    I am a former band member. I heard this morning that the School of Fine Arts made a decision not to send the Pep Band to BB games at the XL. A tweet from AD DB said that he would look into this. The only thing I can guess is that the band refused to show up in protest. I'm just speculating but...

    What will you remember the most about this Championship Team?

    Just got back from Houston. A very emotional atmosphere at the end of the game. What will I remember most? Dan Hurley A master recruiter, leader, coach, human being.

    WCBB Roundtable Interrupted by UConn-Mercer Game (satire)

    I try never to listen to the women's game announcers on TV. Just tie into the streaming broadcast prior to the game and avoid all the frustration and anger. Hard to beat Bob Joyce on the radiocast.

    George Springer is a beast

    Last March I went to a spring training game in West Palm Beach to watch the Astros-Yankees. I wore my George Springer #4 Connecticut T-shirt (purchased on-line).

    season tix arrived this morning

    Some of the printing on the tickets is really tiny (for us senior citizens) and hard to read.

    Independent Scheduling

    I heard from a very reliable source that 6 of next year's 8 formerly open game dates have been filled. There is no AAC in UConn's future.

    Who does CW most resemble?

    How about Odyssey Sims when she was a freshman at Baylor?

    Bring back WTIC; 97.9 is all Spanish for me

    Tune-in radio beats WTIC hands down. It's a strong steady signal!

    Bring back WTIC; 97.9 is all Spanish for me

    I get the men and women now clear as a bell using the internet's "Tune-in Radio" app. It's free and the only way to get decent reception here in Orange (near New Haven). The 97.9 here in New Haven is a Spanish speaking station. UConn's 97.9 only works in the greater Hartford area. Because of a...

    For those attending UNH Sat game -

    I have been a season ticket holder (men and women) since the 80"s. This was one of the better voices I have heard on the National Antham . Hope she gets a return. Great job!

    Jalen at critical times of the games

    Jalen did not lose the game (although he continues to shoot about 35% which is not good enough). The TEAM lost the game. All you need to know about today is (A) we hit 3 threes and they hit 12 PLUS (B) they had 17 offensive rebounds and outrebounded us by about 15 in the 2nd half.

    Is our defense elite?

    His defense was very good, but we need more from a 4th year big man starter. Another 52-50 win! I'll take any wins for my Huskies.

    Is our defense elite?

    If AB could rebound or shoot baskets or fouls, he'd actually be very good. Thank heaven for Facey who scored and grabbed 13 boards.

    Poll: Renewing Season Tix if Diaco Stays?

    My loyalty is to the school and the players, not Diaco. I am renewing (despite him).

    OT: Favorite ice cream brand and flavor?

    Edy's French Silk. It's a mocha with chocolate chips. And I don't even drink coffee.

    Pep band?

    Don't forget to watch for the UConn ALUMNI Marching Band tomorrow!!! Big halftime sound!!!

    UCONN gets all the best recruits...

    Rebecca Lobo said it best during the Final Four. She said that any other coach with the same exact players would NOT have won 10 championships. It's the coaching, not just the players that make the difference.

    Morgan's Knee Brace

    I attended a practice during the regular season and Morgan was NOT wearing the brace during that practice.

    Exit 68 Sign

    Yes,annual Accounting Department dinner. I am a proud accounting alum. There do exist other departments at UConn other than the Department of Athletics, although many people do not notice. I am also a marching band alum (check out my photo at left). I was voted most spirited band member both my...

    Exit 68 Sign

    Drove by yesterday (Friday) on the way to the annual Accounting Department awards dinner. No change in sign. State new budget year starts July 1. Maybe that's the change date. Obviously had to stop by the co-op while on campus and left a wad of money after shopping for championship gear for...

    USD Student Study Concludes Geno Top College Coach

    No mention of John Wooden? I think Geno would have voted for him.

    Where did you watch the championship Game?

    I was at the Doubletree Hotel in Nashville watching the game in the lobby with the UConn women. The game ended and I high fived Stephanie Dolson and Kia Stokes. Then the women's team led the fans in UConn cheers. Awesome!

    Has Diamond D. been granted her release by UNC?

    ESPNW mentioned Tennessee as a possible transfer school since her mother was an athlete there. No other schools were mentioned.

    Parade on FOX-CT TV

    Thanks. I looked on SNY but not there. Fox for us down past New Haven is channel 25 on Cablevision. I set the DVR.

    ESPN Poll - Are You Rooting Against UConn

    I think UConn getting 40% is pretty good considering a lot of people want a new champion. When I was at the Denver Final Four two years ago I came across two Tennessee "fans" wearing "ABC" T-shirts - Anyone But UConn. I told them that was pretty poor sportsmanship. No comment from them.

    The Garden was loud

    I was in the section (210) next to the students. It was almost like being in Gampel. I love these students. Exactly 50 years ago my freshman year I traveled with the pep band to our first elite 8. Friday and today I went with my son. It doesn't get any better than being there with family.

    UConn sells out allotment of tickets to MSG before "minor" donors even had a chance to purchase

    I called the UConn Club and told them it was a mistake to allocate 6 tickets each to the highest level donors., and 4 tickets to other high levels. That leaves out many "vocal" fans who must either pay inflated prices or stay home. They told me that they would consider that in the future. Sure...

    Down to 2 radio affiliates - not good!

    I drive home from games in Hartford and Storrs. When WTIC fades I switch to WELI 960 which comes in good for me west of New Haven. Last year I emailed both the New Haven Register and WELI that the Register wasn't even listing that the games were available on a local station. The Register...
