Chance encounter with familiar tall women

[DobbsRover2]

Took a flight out of JFK in NYC this morning to LAX after much enjoying yesterday's game. Standing outside in my UConn 39-0 2010 NC championship shirt waiting for a super shuttle I see two tall athletes in dark sweats walk by rolling suitcases behind them. Then two more, and two more, and I see the UCLA insignia on their backs and recognize some of the same faces like Livulo and Costa and Swain and Canada and the rest of the fun cast that I had been watching on the set yesterday.

They looked fairly energized to be home after their packed three-game East Coast trip and were kind enough not to pound on me for sporting the Husky insignia (the old friendly one) that had thumped them yesterday.

You mean you didn't pull a DT and raise the UConn colors in their face?

Missed opportunity.

Dee did that to Tennessee, who was MUCH more deserving!

They were mainly bigger than me and hugely more adept at doing "in your face plays," so I'm not sure it would have been wise to pull a DT shirt-pull. Also, after the Bruins' tough road trip, it would not have been a nice way to welcome them back home in this season of cheer and merriment and seventy degree temps.

JC was taller than you?

One of my favorite moments of the UCLA - UConn game was post-game: UConn fans congratulating the play of the Bruins as they exited the arena. For me, that's the heart of sports.

Yes, we don't see that enough these days,

UCLA is good example of whats happening in WBB. There is a lot of talent spread
all over the country now. That's why we're seeing so many upsets. UCLA's program
is on the uptick and they are recruiting talent that Geno wanted but didn't get.
Jordan Canada is an excellent player.

I did say mainly.

The overall impression when you see a team like this go by up close is that a group of tree ents are moving by even if there are some saplings among them. They not only are tall, they walk tall, long and upright and everybody around them seem so much smaller.
