    Our DT Acolyte Anna Gives Interview

    Nice i-views. I love Ania’s attitude. And her English is good, for a student from a non-roman-based language. Are there any roofers here on the BY? I think I know a golf course where they might find work. ;) And... an overdue tip of the cap to Ian Bethune for his work, bringing the Huskies...

    Collier in Minnesota

    What parent wouldn’t be max-proud of her? What fan of the Huskies isn’t pulling for her?

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    If the rules apply to both sides, it’s fair. It might not be best for the game, I’ll admit, but it is fair if nothing else.

    As in Lou “the toe” Groza.

    Good luck to her. Next case.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    Come on now. The complaint is that the men got boosts that were ten times larger. Thus the gap grows, not shrinks. The objections and issues being advocated by the USWNT are legit, as are the same issues being addressed by the players of the WNBA.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    Thanks for the correction. To me, the NCAA rule is far preferable: stop the clock, so that when it says “zero,” it really means zero.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    I mean, why even use a clock if the game length is determined ultimately by a wild-assed guess?

    7” stoppage?

    Three minutes left, plus stoppage.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    15” to, USA up one. England just had the tying goal nullified: off side. Now, with 9 minutes left, USA appears to have fouled in the penalty box. Sheesh. Another costly error by Sauerbrun. SAVE BY NAEHER on the PK!!!!!!

    Collier in Minnesota

    I suppose that every player probably wants to be quicker, Megan included. But having watched her quite often for three years or so, she always seemed to be in the right place to make the necessary play. She is a big woman, yes. But my sense is that she is in good shape, having played...

    Sedona Prince Transfer Discussion Thread 2.1 [merged]

    Who knows? But an announcement (per se) in the next few days should surprise none of us. She has done the greater portion of her “due diligence.”

    Mir McLean to UConn [merged thread]

    I saw her giving an interview. She is a clear, fluent and communicative speaker. So many HS students lack these important assets.

    New article on Westbrook and Adebayo

    Yes. And...stop the ball when the opponent is foolish enough to attempt driving toward the rim.

    Is This The Year of The Megatron?

    Amen. The “new” plural-subject rules also drive me crazy. Such as, “UConn <ARE> a championship contender.” It makes my ears burn.

    I am a Pheese fan because of her play and her personality, the one stemming from the other. She is so bright and thoughtful. What’s not to like.

    Christyn In the Lab

    Tomcat, I think your critique is unnecessarily harsh. Why do you assume that the goal was to give us new details? I took the central purpose to be a statement about her work ethic and her dedication to her team. Your estimates as to time budgeting within the production are clearly askew...

    Kara Lawson is a Celtic

    As per ESPN. She will be an assistant coach.

    UCONN to new Big East

    A nice summary. Another feature is that coaches’ salaries are good, but not the Dabo/Sabin kind of good.

    UCONN to new Big East

    Why so little interest in going to FCS in football? UConn could be excellent, and there are very good FCS teams within a couple of hours from Storrs.

    Did Ania Step In It With Phee

    The answer to the threadline: “No.” Our Pheese has way to much class for that.

    Phee Talks Similarities of 4 at UConn and Lynx

    I have said before that, if she wants it, Pheese has a future in media. She checks all the boxes. But I suspect she has loftier goals.

    Learning from Diana Taurasi -- Emma Meesseman

    Emma is hard to dislike. Maybe impossible.

    #4 prospect 2021 interested in any top school but UConn...

    Not so odd. You can be fairly sure that other coaches use a (thinly vailed) anti-UConn mantra along these lines. I’ve heard such verbiage used in major college football recruiting for 25+ years.

    Ania is En Route!

    This reminds me of something told to me before my first trip to England. ”If you want to get a good meal in you upon arrival, eat lots on the plane.” Somewhat brutal, but somewhat true. ;)

    In the first five seconds, she states her name. I wasn’t referring to the guy at the latter part.

    It appears that her surname is pronounced as “Meel.” (?)

    Memorial Day nears

    Of course. I totally understand. That’s why I tried to leave some space in my point for the inclusion of yours. It’s never wrong to appreciate our veterans. In my extended family there were multiple KIA and POW. Believe me, I get it.

    Memorial Day nears

    So many get this conflated. Memorial Day honors American war dead. All veterans (especially survivors) are honored on Veterans Day, in November. Honor whoever you please, for whatever reason works for you. But it seems like we have morphed a bunch of holidays into "thank the troops day."...
