    OT: What changes are you and family making to your lifestyle due to coranavirus?

    Staying in the house. Not working. Wear gloves to go outside to walk my dogs. Wash with disinfectant soap. Keep my distance from people. Here in Amsterdam all bars and cafes etc. closed. Take out or delivery only from restaurants. Like a ghost town here. No tourists like usual. The economy needs...

    New Husky Logos

    When I was a kid Jonathan was at games. Do they still ever bring him?

    New Husky Logos

    Was thinking the same. Like most mascots, they turn it into a childrens cartoon character. What about a front on view of a snarling Husky leaping at you, teeth bared, some spit coming out of his mouth ( ok, maybe not that) but claws showing ? I’m 70, I remember when logos were like that. But I...

    College Basketball Scandal

    The corruption is mind boggling. To much money involved, only going to get worse.

    Boeheim calls out Ken Pom

    Ha ha, yeah. He should stay until he has no control over his bodily functions. Has to change his diaper at halftime.

    Big East is wild

    I am really looking forward to our return to this conference. Yeah I know it’s not the old big east, but it is a basketball first league full of good teams that are not in most cases all that far from each other.

    OT: Tame Impala - The Slow Rush

    If you are an old rocker ( like me) give a listen to the Finnish bands Greedy Pig, and Juniper Inc. I work a lot in Finland and discovered these guys while up there. They are on spotify, youtube and so on. On my last trip, last week, I met Douglas Blair, guitarist from WASP. Turns out he comes...

    Boeheim calls out Ken Pom

    Bohiem needs to be put out to pasture. I don’t get why any kid would want to play for this whiny nose picking dufuss.

    2020 Recruiting: are we out of the picture with Cliff? (Moderator Cliff notes: Zionn reiterates for the 437th time post 7 this thread we are out!!)

    I’m not going to sweat over what some writer says. We’ll see what happens. If we don’t get him, we don’t get him. We will get someone else, maybe Sango. The program is moving in the right direction and that is what I care about. Remember when Precious was a sure thing for us according to the...

    Bouknights NBA stock

    Bouk still has a boys body. He’s being very foolish if he leaves this year. At least one more year, maybe two will put him in a much better position with the NBA.

    Hi everyone. I have not commented for awhile but I read the boneyard everyday and never miss a game, even when I have to get up at 3am or watch on my phone because it is CBS ( I live in Holland for those who don’t know) I and my family are having some health issues so I have been very worried...

    Precious to Memphis

    Hardaway is following the Kentucky one and done model. Good luck being an NBA farm team. It doesn’t work all that well. Hurley has the Calhoun approach. It worked quite well. I am not losing any sleep over this. Penny has to prove himself as a coach, and being an NBA icon is not a gaurantee...

    The Grind

    I miss grinders more than anything living here in Europe. A meatball grinder with provolone and roasted peppers toasted. Frankin giant grinders in Hartford. A pepperoni and Genoa combo. Is Franklin still there. I wonder if they vould send me one?

    Precious announcing this weekend? And Bill Self may or may not be a terrible human being

    Perhaps Memphis being loaded with talent may work in our favor. Precious obviously has his eyes on the NBA. He is most likely a one and done. He has been biding his time, I think, so as to see who he will be competing with for playing time. With us it will be play right away. He has been...

    Strange thought: make NIT relevant?

    Probably not many guys in the boneyard old enough to remember the Holiday festival at MSG. Eight teams over the Christmas Holidays. Always a great tournement. So what does this have to do with the NIT? Probably nothing, but maybe have the NIT at the garden during Christmas. 8 good teams at MSG...

    Music Mount Rushmores by state

    As for Connecticut, The 5 Satins deserve some recognition. #1 do wap hit of all time, In The Still of The Night. It’s a shame how these guys, still teenagers, got taken to the cleaners by some NYC record company. Made a total of $100, split 5 ways.

    Does your spouse/SO like or enjoy sports, especially UConn?

    My wife is from the Mollucan Islands. In her 44 years with me she has gone from not knowing what a basketball was to being a Uconn fan. She watches sometimes, usually comments on players haircuts. But she always asks me who won the game last night.

    ... the next time a blue chip recruit makes a head-scratching college choice out of college. It ain’t for the gumbo.

    Paying athletes will not stop the cheating. “Ok man , we give you $50,000 up front, plus $10,000 per year” The solution is not a simple one, but one thing I would suggest is SEVERE penalties for those caught paying a guy to come to their school.

    Recruiting Territory

    The Baltic countries and the countries that made up the former Yugoslavia are full of BB talent. One of my friends is from Serbia, and we were talking about this. He says there are BB courts all over the place and kids grow up playing basketball every bit as much as soccer.

    Anyone here into genealogy?

    I am very interested in finding out who my ancestors were. I will check out the site when I have some time. Right now it’s work, work and more work for me. All I do is rest when I have a little free time. Tomorrow I’m off to Finland and will be very busy working there.

    Anybody can write a book. Try getting it published. Of course you can self publish( costs $$$$), but with no distibution you had better have a large storage space.

    Section 121 Observations

    I’m optimistic regarding Sid. He will get better, he has talent, just needs some time with this great staff. Hopefully he gets some more bulk but as someone stated it may just be in his genes that he is a skinny dude no matter what he does in the weight room. He will be a valuable guy off the...
