    Topps first ever March Madness trading cards

    Sheesh! I paid a nickel for a package of baseball cards in the mid-50's and I got a piece of bubblegum.

    A haiku is five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.

    The biggest college basketball game of the entire regular season

    They had to give him smelling salts at one timeout, or so the legend goes.

    RIP Lefty.

    Driesell made the claim that Maryland was the 'UCLA of the East'. He didn't live up to it.

    I was there. Big time atmosphere.

    OT: Anyone here visited Normandy?

    Talk to some locals if possible. The farmer who picked me up when I was hitchhiking through Normandy nearly 50 years ago was grateful beyond words for what the Americans did to liberate France. I suspect the feeling is still shared by many.

    Jay Williams as a color commentator

    Is this what the networks want, i.e. non-stop noise even if it has nothing to do with the game? I remember watching a replay of a point in a tennis match from years ago (probably many years) where the announcers didn't say a word during the point that went on for 40 or more shots and maybe 2...

    UCONN-Maryland post game thread

    Very cool! I saw a game in the old Garden as well so you know I'm up there.

    UCONN-Maryland post game thread

    That had to be many years ago if you saw Heinsohn play :)

    Stonehill and MVS

    Are you concerned with the noise level at either XL Center or Gampel? Our 3-year old may be ready for a game but I wonder if we need to bring head phones for hearing protection.

    UConn Soccer '23

    Would you say that their style is the same as Ray Reid's?

    ACC votes to add Stanford, Cal, SMU: Conference presidents approve expansion to 18 schools

    I think The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company is available since A&P went under a few years ago.

    UConn Soccer '23

    The 2022 National HS Player of the Year can't crack the starting lineup. What the hell is going on up there?

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    I could be dead by then.

    UConn Soccer '23

    One of the newcomers is Lucas Almeida, the 2022 US Soccer Coaches National Player of the Year. I saw him play once this past year and he's extremely talented. I hope Gbandi has some other talent that can complement him. The dearth of information coming out of the program is disappointing...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    You would need powerful politicians to force ESPN or any other media company to bend to your will. We haven't had any since maybe colonial times.

    The Shrinking Horde

    My parents told me I should quit my Courant route in So. Manchester around 1960-61 because I couldn't stay awake in school. Plus the fact that the Sunday papers were 2 inches thick and I couldn't fit 100 papers or so in my saddle baskets.

    Men UConn & 2023 Big East Baseball Tourney @ Prasco Park, Mason Ohio (5/24>5/27). Gms on BEDN/FloSports. Audio on Mixlr/ESPN 97.9/1300 & Varsity App

    That's the way Penders has been playing it for 20 years. Up 8 or down 8 it doesn't matter. Actually he's reined in the crazy base running somewhat in the past few years.

    Only team to beat Rhody in a slow down game in 1970.

    Jordan Hawkins Not Practicing 3/31

    He could pull a Willis Reed and walk out of the tunnel just before tipoff. I wouldn't mind that.

    2022 UConn men's soccer season

    This is troubling. I hoped Gbandi would lead UConn back to the promised land but losing your best player and a couple of others who apparently were starters is not a good start. They have the national high school player of the year from Hall High coming in this fall. I hope he's still on board.

    That would mean we have only 3 starters. Hmmm

    It's wildly lopsided fouling by UConn. Watch the replays.

    Calling BY Golden Hearts and Golden Golden Hearts

    Golden here at 73. I still feel young except when I go up against some 20-30 year olds on the pickleball court. Fond memories of my UConn days. I should have studied more but it turned out ok. Best in-person game - the slowdown game against Rhody. No, I didn't have the fortune of attending...
