End of December thread here.

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...

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...

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...

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...

. . . 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.

Reminder: Please adhere to the purpose of the monthly UConn recruiting thread. It needs to be a place where people can find recruiting news and discussion that's relatively fresh and on-topic. Some discussions in the thread are meandering all over the place. People should not have to sift...

Continuing the experiment of monthly threads in order to avoid endless mega-threads. Carry on.

No politics please. But he was in many ways an exceptionally good man.

1. Maddy Chickenlittle. "I can't stand it. Everything's going to hell. I need to say so multiple times in multiple threads. Don't tell me not to or I'll get even more out of control." Uses the board to vent. Grabs the microphone and won't let go of it, creating a center stage impression...

Please use this thread to discuss recruit Ezi Magbegor. The 22-page earlier thread finally succumbed to terminal topic drift, as had its predecessor. This one will be monitored against diversions. Be forewarned before you spend a lot of time composing your masterpiece response about somebody...

Have at it.

This thread is for keeping track of the final high school seasons of our recently signed future Huskies from the Class of 2018. Additionally we hope to have the pleasure of following committed players from the Class of 2019 in the coming months.

UConn has lots of those. Players with obvious skills, that is. And we see some good looks on the court. Open shots, that is. This is a sports forum. We’re here to discuss the players as athletes, not as glamour girls. From time to time, we feel the need to repeat that comments about how...

(Slideshow) - Only a couple of them from women's sports. Check out #5. Largely considered the greatest women's basketball coach of all time, Geno Auriemma led the Huskies to nearly three full seasons without a loss . . .

. . . for cover-up in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case, per AP story. "All three ignored the opportunity to put an end to (Sandusky's) crimes when they had a chance to do so," the judge said. Ex-president Graham Spanier, 68, got a sentence of 4 to 12 months, with the first two to be...

Personally, I do like them and have participated a number of times. Would point out, BTW, that the older ones are now moved to the Off-Topic Archive, with a permanent re-direct from this board. You'll find them there all together. People can still post in them, but they don't get bumped here...

We had very extensive discussions here of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Here's a notable piece of the fallout. HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Former Penn State President Graham Spanier was convicted Friday of hushing up child sexual abuse allegations in 2001 against Jerry Sandusky, whose arrest a decade...

Go Huskies!

Just a note to ask that BYers refrain from using all caps in their posts, including headlines. We've commented from time to time that all caps make a message of any length hard to read. As to headlines, all caps seem to say "My thread is more important than the others." It's also a bit like...
