The phrase “full stop” has really caught on in recent years. I believe it is a typewriter reference?

Someone just used it on me this morning and I had to confirm what he meant by it.

I thought it was related to a telegram

During the last two W’s I’ve enjoyed ‘Roni - mush ‘Za. This will be my order going forward for all UConn games. Full stop.

Feels good going into these last few games of the season knowing that our #1 guy is better than the oppositions #1 guy

I was in Tampa in '99. But watching the replay I remember the call from Billy Packer (Mr. ACC): "Richard Hamilton has been the scorer of this tournament."

So true and so satisfying. Best team and best player -- we really had arrived.

I thought it was an FAA/ATC reference for directing traffic at airports.

As far as Bouk being "best scorer", I'm sure there are more out there, but it's reassuring when so many people watch him for the first time and all can see he has a special knack for getting the ball in the hoop and how effortlessly it looks when he does it.

AKA. Period. End of story.

basically what you're going to respond with is wrong. Don't bother

Yup, I understand the meaning but was curious about the origin of the phrase, and why it feels like overnight it was downloaded into the American lexicon.

He's not a slouch at the defensive end either. He just needs to get even stronger so guys can't push him off and discard him as easily.

I think some people who don't watch UConn much (especially with his absence making it tougher don't realize is how hard he plays defensively. I think his low key style sometimes masks his effort. When he and Jackson are on the floor together, they could really get under the skin of some of the team's future opponents. Throw Whaley behind them and a really good defensive team could be even better.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

james on d? check out that play tuesday where rj is tight guarding on a drive, fouls him, they tumble, while james flew in to erase the shot. sitting on the floor at impact, rj looks back at james with a 'where the heck did you come from?' 'you can do that, too?' look. rhythm rebuild ain't just an offensive thing. when players get a feel for the routine of their shotblockers behind them (in this case, in front of them, as james came from around the stripe while the block came closer to the baseline), their fouls go down.
james on d? instinct gold.

Didn't his first touch after injury come on a steal?

 

[auror]

Didn't his first touch after injury come on a steal?

it was a steal in that Whaley stole the ball and then Bouknight picked it up. But yeah. He's good on d when locked in

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Didn’t realize how good that USC win was

Really bothers me that the loss of 3 players (Bouk, AJ, and Akok) isn't figuring into anyone's minds about the strength of this team. When Akok is fully ready, I don't see us losing.

Full Stop may reference the printing (and newspaper reporter transcription) term calling for the now obsolete double space following a sentence. That also applied to typing, so you might be on to something.
Or you might not.

Sorry bro, but the calendar year doesn't end in a 4 so it isn't happening

It does end with a 1 though. The women just have to hold up their end this year.

He's a tremendous slouch.
