    Just my opinion about the music threads

    We thought you were against buffoons. Way out of place for this board.

    I have a question regarding our April recruit thread.

    Another factor: During the season we mods made some sporadic efforts to keep the recruiting thread on topic, but only where diversions were blatant. And since season's end, sporadic efforts would be an overstatement. The off-season always gets a little more loosey-goosey on what people want to...

    Sometimes people just misspeak. Give it a rest with ascribing disrespectful motives.

    Roll Call - Boneyard Wall of Honor

    RobtNAtl. (It wasn't Robert National, BTW; it parsed as Robert N., Atlanta.) He doesn't belong on Charlie's list, because he wasn't a UConn fan and he only posted here once -- having been mentioned so many times that he decided to come here and offer us greetings. He did pass in the line of...

    Roll Call - Boneyard Wall of Honor

    Yeah, he fooled around with that variation. Don't recall if it got started in connection with St. Patty's Day or what. Speaking of which, Wonkster (in his guise as "Father O'Malley") and I wrote a series of Irish toasts for one such occasion. Paraphrases of actual Irish blessings/toasts, but...

    The Candidate

    Good morning, Blake. No, I'm afraid the Mrs. wasn't prepared to ask the really crucial questions. She got that Dianne used to be involved with Fairfield basketball, so I asked if she was tall. When the response was no, I started thinking -- or as Mrs. JS would put it, engaging in unusual...

    The Candidate

    So the doorbell rings. Mrs. JS answers it and ends up chatting with someone for nearly half an hour. Later tells me it was a candidate for Town Council, and they really hit it off. They yapped away about every little thing in their lives while the woman's poor husband strolled around at the...

    RIP Kib

    I knew him when his handle was Observer, that's how long. One of the saddest days that he's gone. But also a day to reminisce and appreciate one of our finest people.

    OT: Bears

    In April we had a large bear hanging around our property for a week or so. First in 25 years of living here in Fairfield County. We do a lot of wild bird feeding. I had seven feeders out on the deck, atop 8-foot PVC pipes, bracketed to the deck railing at various points. Also, a large metal...

    BY Census: What’s your age?

    Won't explore this extensively, but to take one example a younger crowd arguably tends to criticize individual players in harsher (or more mocking, etc.) terms than some older people (call them more protective, or more quasi-parental if you will) are comfortable with.

    BY Census: What’s your age?

    Yes. it's of interest to us in understanding cultural differences among boards. We've had off-board discussions with visitors as recently as a few days ago to the effect that, when coming here after mostly posting on a board with a different demographic, they may notice adverse reactions to...

    RIP Wonkster

    Yeah, what a moment that was. One of the most exciting ever. Tennessee, the dynasty fresh from being cut down a peg by UConn, was expected to reassert itself behind the experienced Kara Lawson & Co. "This is our year" was the watchword on the Summitt. But DT was having none of it. Just a...

    RIP Wonkster

    Not so much controversial as aggressive, sometimes scathing humor. Can't remember that about him? Cornell guys stick together. He also had some hot buttons in the areas of politics and religion that resulted in posts that tested the rules. Been a long time to remember many of the aliases...

    RIP Wonkster

    With sadness we note the passing of Frank Buchwalder about a year ago, news that we missed at the time. Francis Buchwalder Obituary - (2020) - Milford, CT - Connecticut Post Under his main handle of Wonkster, Frank was one of the most impactful Boneyarders for many years. Of course he couldn’t...

    Henry Aaron....RIP [merged thread]

    I had one too. A favorite. Lived in Milwaukee in my early years before moving to New York State,. Always a NL fan, spent many years trying to find a NL team that could finally defeat the Yankees, at least once. Finally found it with the Boys of Summer, then with the Braves. Eddie...

    Transfer talk

    Reminder: we don't engage in it. Check the rules. If it concerns the UConn team generally, it gets dicey. If it concerns particular players, it's verboten. We'll edit it out if we can. Sometimes, a thread gets too far, with it mixed in, to be salvageable without undue work. That happened...

    Granted there's not a lot of recruiting news right now, but we need to do a better job of staying on topic. NBA talk is off-topic for the whole board, let alone this thread. [Ignored by some so now boldface] Going to keep a closer eye on the general jousting with visiting fans too. Jousters...

    Congrats to SC on its poll ranking thread . . .

    . . . now resides on the General Women's Basketball Board (see top of page). UConn relation tenuous at best, and too focused on particular other teams.
