Besides being able to limit the number of posts per day a person can make, we can also limit the number of emojis per day. I'm putting you on a 10 emoji per day limit!!!

I give TDF props for trying though.

Is the sky falling? If not, we kinda may be ok.

TorCon of 9 today in central Alabama , so the sky is falling here. I think it is not quite so in San Antonio,and/or Storrs.

My heart goes out to people already affected by severe storms today. As well people who will be affected later today, tonight, and tomorrow.

What #@%&? That was my first reaction when I heard the news about Shea. Slow down everyone, if it happened at home it won't affect the team. Geno will be back on the 24th. CD and JE know a little bit about practice and pregame prep, probably more than Geno. I know how much this tournament means to us as fans of the best program in the country, and our anticipation of taking back what we feel is ours: the NC trophy. So relax, the team will not let us down, and lets just enjoy the ride starting at 8:00 on Sunday night.

Sky is not falling. Wear masks in every place. We will be OK.

 

[ConnecticutBB]

i hope every school needs to report all testing results...better yet I hope someone directly from the NCAA is monitoring on site all testing....I don’t trust the honor system.

 

[Kaizen]

This only leaves Jamelle to do the scout. Not much sleep going to be happening there for the next couple weeks

I think CD is still in, and hope Geno can join the team later. We may be without Geno by only the first 2 games.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Hmmmm, not great news. Am I concerned? A bit, but more concerned that I couldn’t get a vaccine appointment today down in NC. So I’m relaxing with some Miller Lite, wishing I had a couple large shots of vodka. Oh well.

I’m fortified by Nika’s comments on the “Twins video” - “We listen to Paige “.

I’m out, back to Poldark or online Trickster cards. Oley!

To Shea and Family

God Bless Prayers are on the way. Hoping you come back soon

Lol no of course not.
NCAA does all testing.

Geno not doing anything. He could be going over some game tape. 😁

If CD goes down, I’ll have to cancel my fishing trip and head to Texas. My wife’s hunting for my clip board as we speak.

Basketball and health-wise this is a semi-emergency. Losing the Maestro and Shea for at least some of the tournament is a huge issue. I have a crazy idea. We actually have 2 coaches on the team. As far a leadership and respect goes Evina Westbrook is a coach in uniform. I have watched all of her games at UConn and she has super-impressed me as a leader. From my far away end, she appears bright and super mature. There is no doubt that the kids respect and love her. Evina could be a key in assisting CD and Jamelle......am I nuts or making sense?? Paige is natural leader on the court and every fan knows that....only a freshman, but a rare one indeed....she is a key in getting the entire goal accomplished.
Our kids are not only great, but damn smart. CD is respected and I am very impressed by Jamelle who has head coaching experience. I think they will all hold the fort down until Mr. Auriemma and Shea return. Let's hope that this is the last bad straw and the team will make us all proud. Go girls!

Anybody but.....

 

[huskyd]

Down to 2 coaches ... that's less than ideal.

One should be enough. I'm reminded of the Israeli rowing team that came to Harvard to learn how the sport should be conducted. After a few days of observation, the Israeli captain noted: "Oh, it's eight people rowing and only one person yelling."

They all do the scout, and there will be plenty of video.

Neat trick by Saylor to get tickets for her family. (Kidding of course) I bet the Caroline Ducharme , and AD families are also on the preferred list for UCONN tickets-they should be if they can get to SA, TX..

I'm surprised that no one has questioned the 4th Region name, the first three are pretty obvious but not the 4th, Mercado. My last trip to SA was a couple of years ago but the Mercado was a small nighttime area with a couple of really good Mexican restaurants and a small number of shops. If you can get there, I highly recommend an excellent restaurant, Las Margaritta (sp?) which was the better of the two restaurants, but both were very good. Great drinks and don't forget to get some pralines to go at your checkout. About 1-2 miles from the Alamodome.

In addition to the Alamo, itself, if you have a car, don't miss taking the Mission trail of 5, 1800s Missions. If you have more money than you will ever need then go to the bar at the top of the Hemisphere. Good view but really overpriced. Lot's of good restaurants on the Riverwalk itself. I just hope they aren't out to rip you off with so many visitors. UCONN fans might want to wait until after the losers in Rds 1 and 2 leave town to get shorter waits for most things, including dinner reservations.

What’s that have to do with Shea?

Sorry to have gotten off track But as long as I'm here, I highly recommend The Little Rhein Steakhouse on the Riverwalk for a first class meal.

Please, please tell us YOU’RE NOT Coach Jumper in disguise!

 

[HuskylnSC]

Do you think if they were worried about game 1 Shea would take off? Honestly! CD can roll out the balls and let the team decide who plays what position and win game 1. Game 2 she should make out the starting lineup and then check in for half time.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Best wishes to Shea and her family!

 

[eebmg]

Why any concern? Everyone knows Paige is the defacto coach. Ask Nika.
