I’m not sure of the date, but my wife and I attended many games at Georgetown, Villanova, and Temple because they were close to our home in MD. When my aunt was alive in Florida, I would schedule visits in order to see games at USF or UCF. I also caught two games at ECU, sneaking in via a back...
Gotta go with Nika. Even before the studio hosts talked about her defense at the half, I was really impressed by her obliteration of Unique Drake. And no fouls! By her shutting down the SJ high scorer, we turned the game into a laugher.
Soccer All-American and college record holder in triple jump, four senior championships at my course, but the ultimate highlight was helping the Simpering Eunuchs of the women’s team win the Boneyard Open at Keney Park.
I have no doubt that Tonya Cardozo will help Geno & Co., but I thought the UConn athletic department was in serious financial straits, to the tune of tens of millions in the hole. How many other departments on campus — academic, especially — could justify adding another coach/professor/advisor...
Whoever can play defense the best will get off the bench first. I’m guessing that Shade will remind us of another midwestern low-profile star, Kelly Faris.
We got a decent look at Ayanna Patterson this year and we saw glimpses of her potential as a rebounder and physical presence. Jana has been involved to some extent in practice for a couple of months and apparently Ice had has been active recently. Do we have any reliable — or even speculative...
Joe coached at Middlebury where I played in the late 60’s Before moving to UConn in 1969. Joe Jr and Bill were ballboys at our games. My time at UConn was 72-76, when Sunday soccer got its start. Highlights include the rivalry with Brown, New England championships, and playing St. Louis in...
While working on my PhD at UConn in the 70’s, I was Joe Morrone’s assistant on the soccer team. To pick up a few bucks I worked security for men’s bball in the field house. Once Geno came along I was in Maryland but my wife and I have followed the women loyally since the ‘94 team. We attended...
Let’s thank Vic for parking Morris and Jones on the bench as we pulled away. Morris had done a great job on Azzi defensively and was Texas’ best scoring threat. Jones could have fouled out our bigs.
Been chasing the UCONN women for almost 30 years from my home in Maryland:
Gampel
XL
Villanova (campus arena)
Georgetown (campus gym)
Maryland
Temple
Seton Hall (campus and Prudential Center)
NCState
East Carolina (easiest to sneak in)
USF
UCF
University of the Virgin Islands (Holiday...
If I had been on that team when I was that age, I guarantee that we would play some tricks on the old farts who read the Boneyard obsessively looking for info. Maybe a phony bandage, maybe a “missing player,” maybe platform shoes to add 3” to someone’s height, etc
Apparently I didn’t get around to joining until a few years later, but I have been following the Yard since the late 90’s. My UConn basketball roots date to the 70’s when I was in grad school and worked the men’s games as a sort of security guard. My fondest memory is teaming with Biff, JS and...
It can argued that grad school/law school/etc. matter even more than where one acquires a baccalaureate degree. Undergrad academic success at any of Kiki’s options will open the door to a first rate graduate education.
