And Then Along Came Stewie

[BroadwayVa]

We elders, ahem, must pass on the camp fire songs history of UConn WCBB. UcMiami is pointing out some of it. But, sometimes some of it gets hazy. Morgan Valley was a promising star laid low by acute plantar fasciitis - really, really bad. The steroids they gave her were as bad as the disease, and she was left a supremely intelligent baller with no ability to play, but still a superb team mate. Ashley... well, she could never reign in her emotions and threw her talent to the wind. At least, that is the song we sing around my camp fire.

Morgan was an assistant in Baltimore--and coached here during the CAA tourney--she got us tickets and we sat behind her bench--we've always loved her personality and desire. Her feet was and is an issue. Her sister had a baby and (according to Morgan) bought a McMansion in the DC area (I think).

Vell, I hates to dissapoint you, but de tsong writer vasn't von of "der tribe" from the lower h'eastside of New Yawk.
Mis-tear Cohan vas a talent frum Providence, Rhode Hyland... He vorked his vay to Broadvay, he didn't just ketch ha cab.
Maybe you are tinking of Georgie Jessel?

I'm not sure what you mean===I don't remember saying George M Cohen was from NY--I said the song was a Broadway hit (from the show called MARY) in the early 1900's up to about 1925. George M (not W) produced about 20 musicals during those years--writing many of his own songs (lyrics not always). What has Georgie Jessel to do with the song Mary?? I guess his mom and dad never worked vaudeville with him as a child---or he didn't play Peck's Bad Boy as a teen in a road company?? Must be 2 different elephants

Morgan was DT''s devilish soul mate. Do something nasty to D and if Morgan could play you would pay.

I did not watch UConn WBB back in the DT days (although I have watched some of the game replay from back then), and I watched the game Maya played, but I think Stewie is a better all around player than both. She definitely makes the game look very easy even w/o the pure athleticism of MM and whatever DT has. I can't imagine what the last 3+ years of UConn WBB would have been like if Stewie had gone to Syracuse instead

they also did it in the "Big East"... the baddest conference of all times. some aren't sold on the AAC yet (hand raised)

A past Mayor of Dublin was Cohen (none of the variations you suggest) and he was pure Irish as George M. Cohen.
Cohen, apparently, may have been shortened within the last 100 years for ease of spelling and for ease of viewing
when running for public office or entertainment.
What does that have with my original posting about the song Mary???

Yes... and the quite popular Jewish mayor of Dublin was Bobby Briscoe (Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Sinn Féin during the Irish War of Independence and Éamon de Valera's escort to America). Truth told... You can't tell your players w/o a score card.


<<Cohen, apparently, may have been shortened within the last 100 years for ease of spelling and for ease of viewing when running for public office or entertainment.>>
Not all changes were a personal preference. Sometimes the Ellis Island scribes behind the counter took it upon themselves. My Great grandfather got to America as Israel-Moshe Krutapesach... He left Ellis Island for Hartford as Morris Karp.

Stewart is fabulous, and with her height and length, unique. Maya was fabulous at Uconn as well in a shorter, stronger, more intense way. DT shorter still with less strength than Maya, but more magic than either Maya or Breanna - completely undefinable, a 'you know it when you see it' quality.
Stewart never wants to lose, Maya wants to beat you, DT wants to dance on your grave while flipping the bird at all your mourners (and then party with them at your wake after the game - no hard feelings!)

Love all three and they are all three very special players that we have been privileged to watch grow at uconn. And the best quality they all have in common is that they produce moments in seemingly every game where you just go WOW. You don't want to blink when they play because you might miss something you didn't think was possible on a basketball court.

Great analysis UCMiami.. Not sure why the rush to declare who is the best. Stewie can definitely do more things with her height and reach. DT was the best under pressure [witness DT against Tennessee in the final 4 in SanAntonio]. Maya was Maya. That's why Tennessee fans still hate her so.
I'm just happy to have been able to view all three at UCONN. Let us relish watching Breanna for the rest of this year.

Were you perchance referring to the Gary Cooper movie "Along Came Jones"?
