    Grandson Training Almost Complete

    My 4 year old grandson just came running down the stairs chanting "UCann Huskies". I haven't said anything to him for hours - just happy to be chanting it. We'll work on the O instead of the A but a great start.

    OT: New Basketball Floor Technology

    They have developed a basketball floor made up of LEDs that can display anything (kinda like the Vegas Sphere). The NBA All Star game will be played on one. I don't watch a lot of NBA, but I'll definitely check it out. https://www.nba.com/news/nba-unveils-led-court-all-star-2024 Imagine how...

    Rituals and Superstitions

    From @McLovin post in the non sports thread: "My wife, on the other hand is a saint and respects all my pregame rituals / game time superstitions and even has some of her own she’s made." For me, I can't wear more than one piece of UConn gear on a game day. I have certain things that didn't...

    NET and other ranking systems question

    Do they take into account overtime games and somehow discount the final margin? For example, both UConn and Purdue won by 9 points last night, but Purdue needed OT to get that 9 point advantage. Do they treat OT games like a 1 point win or loss or do they get full credit for the difference?

    Nothing else to do - predict the spread vs Gonzaga

    I'll go with Zags -1.5 Think we win by 7 or more.

    Maui Invitational

    How the hell did they pair the number 1 team in the country, Kansas, vs Chaminade in the first round? If it were UConn at that Tournament, I would be pissed off. Put Syracuse or UCLA with them. That's just so weird to me.

    SoCal Folks - How are you preparing for the great Tropical Storm of 2023?

    I've got all my stuff charged and ready. I've dropped all things that could be blown over down or stored. Got some frozen food out and ready so I don't have to open the freezer. I don't really expect it will be any worse than a very wet winter storm, but they are hyping it so much I can't stop...

    Request to Recruit Followers

    In previous years I recall an ongoing thread with a list of recruits with position, ranking, offers, interest, lineouts for kids committed elsewhere, etc. I don't see anything like that for 2024. If I missed it, someone bump it and it we can pin it. I tend not to get too invested in every...

    OT: 2023 PGA Championship

    I'm surprised nobody has posted yet seeing that the tournament starts in about 12 hours. So who do you got this time around. It's boring, but gotta go with Rahmbo the way he has been playing. I would love to see Rory or Spieth do well, but they haven't been on point recently. It's good to see...

    Nerd Champions Seed Math

    Based on the thread about total seeds beaten, I decided to do some extra math and analysis. First of all, using total seeds beaten to determine the hardest paths is worthless. A 1 or 2 seed accumulates more points just getting through the first weekend than the 8th seed 85 Nova team beat for the...

    OT: 2023 Masters

    Seems almost too soon to pivot, but it starts tomorrow... Who you got? I'm pulling for Rory to complete the grand slam. But I don't know how you bet against Scheffler the way he has been playing. Scottie Scheffler +700 Rory McIlroy +700 Jon Rahm +900 Jordan Spieth +1600 Patrick Cantlay...

    Can we all agree about something and another thought

    Can we agree not to post stupid April fools jokes next Saturday about something bad happening to the team? Bad for the mojo for sure. Don't do it. And a random thought - After Selection Sunday, did anyone think we would only be packing white uniforms if we made it to Houston?

    OT: 2022 US Open (Golf)

    I was hoping someone else would start the thread this time, but it's getting close so here it is. All the guys 100:1 or less: Scottie Scheffler +1200 Justin Thomas +1400 Jon Rahm +1400 Rory McIlroy +1400 Cameron Smith +1800 Jordan Spieth +2200 Will Zalatoris +2200 Xander Schauffele +2200...

    OT: 2022 PGA Championship

    So time to get this conversation started. In the last 4 PGAs held at Southern Hills, the average winning score was 7 under par, but the course has been renovated in 2019 with fewer trees but more punitive greens and lengthened a tad. Bermuda rough will make hitting greens a challenge for errant...

    OT - USFL

    Just caught my first game on TV. It's totally unwatchable with the mic'd up QB and coach. Just a cacophony of noise.

    OT: The Players (Golf)

    Really fun watching these guys lose a sleeve of balls as this course just kicks the crap out of most of the field. What's up with Koepka's blonde hair??? Late/early start will eliminate almost half the field.

    Wordle

    I thought about posting this last week but decided to wait 'til after the slew of games and SB. Based on the thread on the main board, it appears several of you are playing. So I have a few questions and wanted to see how people are doing overall and I'm most curious about the last question...

    Resident Alien

    Couldn't find any thread about this show through the search. It's on SyFy but also apparently streaming on Hulu. I'm only a few episodes in, but definitely hooked. Really funny. Alien crashes on Earth and has to fit in in a really small isolated town in Colorado while trying to complete his...

    Summary of the Season So Far - It's All About the Three

    Lot's of analysis on here about different aspects of the game. Defense is fine holding opponents to 37.5% from the field and 32% from three. Guards are fine as both Cole and Gaffney are over 2-1 assist to turnover ratio. Rebounding - guess what? - fine at a little over +8.5/game. Blocks are at...

    The Luxury of Depth

    Imagine how many teams in the Big East or most all of D1 basketball would love to have Akok and Hawkins to bring in as starters when you have two regular starters go down. And then you get to bring in Samson Johnson and Diggins as their backups while still having Gaffney and Polley as regular...

    Poll: All Angst Aside - Whatcha Think About Monday's Rankings

    Will we be ranked? If so do we drop or go up? Beat a ranked Auburn, lost to Mich St which will likely climb into the top 25 and squeaked by a pretty bad VCU. I'm thinking we stay around 22 or 23.

    The Americans

    I'm surprised I can't find any reference to this series on the yard. Originally an FX series that is now free on Amazon Prime about two KGB agents posing as an American couple/family in the early 1980s (Reagan Era). It's really interesting, pretty well scripted and acted - of course they have to...

    OT: 2021 Open Championship

    OK - I'll start the thread. Like the US Open, again, I have no idea - not sure who the course sets up well for or the expected weather conditions.... Looks like Spieth hasn't played since the US Open - never good to go into a major without some recent success. Rahm played well last weekend in...

    Joey Chestnut - Hotdogs

    He broke his own world record eating 76 hotdogs and buns in 10 minutes.... WTF - how is that possible? Makes that steak challenge we all followed for weeks look simple.

    OT: Golf - Bummer for Rahm

    After shooting one of the best rounds of his career and taking control of the Memorial with a 6 stroke lead, his morning COVID test came back positive (twice) and he has been withdrawn from the tournament. Sucks for him for sure. Has to stay isolated until two days before the US Open. And for...
