    NCAA Updates Rules for Undergraduate Transfer Waivers

    https://www.si.com/college/2023/03/23/ncaa-updates-rules-undergraduate-transfer-waivers "The memo also said that waivers will no longer be approved just because the athlete’s participation opportunity at their former school changed, or even because of a coaching change or a change in the...

    Feeling Spoiled and Arrogant Today

    And by gametime I'll be feeling the effects of many Miller Lights. This is going to be a damn fine day to be a Husky fan. I can feel the magic in me bones! Happy St. Paddy's Day from an Irishman and Go Huskies!!!

    Hello Boneyard - Welcome back to Earth!

    It was nice thinking for a short time we might be "historically" good, but the team we've seen in the last month seems closer in line with preseason expectations. Don't worry though - we still dawgs and it's still going to be fun!

    Would you like to play Sid yet Danny?

    That was some effort, wasn't it?

    Akok and Bouk

    I like the sound of that. Very impressed with the talent level of our freshmen. And Jackson and Cole await in the wings. Goosebumps.

    OT: The most stupid and pointless holiday ever

    ...is just a few days away. I'm talking about Valentine's Day, of course. My wife expects me to spend money on her as some sort of proof of my appreciation for her. If I don't, or if the gesture is somehow not adequate by some unpublished standard that only women seem to have knowledge of...

    TBT: Thirteen years ago today

    Jim Calhoun called the quickest timeout after the start of a game in his career, against Florida International. He called for the TO just nine seconds into the game, after the team gave up a dunk off of the tip. Calhoun said a few choice words in the huddle (I assume about focus) as only he...

    Ads repeatedly grabbing browser focus

    I surf the Boneyard on a Chrome browser on my android phone. The new video ads grab the browser's focus every time they restart, and center the ad on the screen (it's happened 4 times while writing this). Needless to say, this is not acceptable. It makes the site unusable. Any way you can help?

    Pretty much the worst tournament ever

    No upsets (really). No buzzer beaters, just bonehead plays and bad calls. No UConn. Our conference embarrassing itself. Now all we need is an all ACC Final Four to top it off. I need a drink or five.

    Purvis, where you been all my life?

    I've been hard on the Ferrari this year, but the last few games, he's been money. And it's been great to see. When you see this side of his game, it's mind boggling thinking this is the same player who looked like he could do nothing well a month ago.

    I figured out why we lost to Wagner

    I just watched the replay of the game (Thanks @tcf15). About 4 minutes in, and just like that, it struck me why we lost to Wagner. SNY's new courtside reporter Taylor Rooks wore Wagner Green. Gorgeous dress, sure (it's not the dress, really), but what's the penalty for wearing the...

    This has got to be gut wrenching for Calhoun

    Sitting there in the studio having to provide commentary while UConn completely disintegrates before his eyes. He's so wound up his normal stream of consciousness has become totally unintelligible.

    Waiting to see the game replay

    @tcf15 - Thank you bro. There are several questions that can get more definitive answers by watching again. Why do our bigs collect fouls like they're going out of style? Is Sterling Gibbs really as selfish as some on here claim? Why so many wide open threes late in the game versus...

    Mojo Thread

    Big game today. Is it heresy to invoke the mojo so early in the season? I say no. It's appropriate. We are at a crossroads - a win pushes us into the spotlight, Thanksgiving Holiday Rivalry game - and a loss puts you in the aptly named "losers" bracket. And when at a crossroads, should you...

    Outside the Lines does fluff pieces?

    John Calipari and his perception outside Kentucky was the subject today. It was 30 minutes of apologies and platitudes. Typical of ESPN to bend over backwards to protect the reputation of their financial interests. There was no mention of the "Agent for Agents," World Wide Wes, of course, and...

    We're suddenly getting lots of attention

    Boat's shot has been on ESPN at least a dozen times this morning, and UConn was featured twice on Sportscenter, once in the bubble discussion about stealing a bid, and once in a history segment featuring Kemba's shot against Pitt. This is great and all, but I hope this doesn't give Tulsa too...

    Clinging to miracles

    So this season is a dud. We have a mix of players long on promise, but short on results. We have a coach whose main appeal had been his relentless energy and charisma suddenly become a drawn up wallflower. And we are hopelessly trapped in conference pergatory. Not a lot to be optimistic...

    Our mascot needs to where a blue collar.

    The comment made by Dan Patrick about our lack of a brand got me thinking. What is our brand? What are we all about? How do we define to ourselves who we are and what we stand for? Seeing the effort, the endless hours of practice perfecting Ray's shot, Kemba's step back, Shabazz's crossover...

    College Sports documentary

    Just saw a damn good show titled simply College Sports, narrated by Sam Rockwell. It was based on an article written by Taylor Branch. It's a scathing examination of the farce that is the NCAA and amateurism in general. It contains interviews and commentary from dozens of the major characters in...

    Can someone give me a rules clarification?

    A defensive player can't even think of putting a hand on an offensive player without the whistle blowing, but the offensive player can straight out shove the defender out of the way? I thought that was an offensive foul? That's how the refs called the game though. Hanlon shoved Napier and...

    Are there still clauses in the contract for periodic renegotiation windows? If so, when is the next window and what circumstances will trigger it?

    New logo, new attitude

    An epic storm has finally passed. A bitter cold has settled on a barren landscape. We find ourselves abandoned. Alone. We remember our former pack. The memory brings a scowl. Betrayal is a wound that does not heal. Thought too weak to carry on, the bastards we once called brothers turned their...

    OT: Celtics

    The C's are down 5 to the Wizards at the half at home. They ran a gorgeous fastbreak to end the half that gave Courtney Lee a wide open look from three, and his shot missed badly. My first thought was, "if that were Ray, they'd only be down two now..." :::sigh:::

    Yep. Much busier today.

    Lots of hurt feelings and disappointments I see. If nothing else, may this serve as a useful catharsis.
