Dawn Has A Cold | The Boneyard

Dawn Has A Cold

I'm assuming you're riffing on the title by Gay Talese, right? Dawn Staley is no Frank Sinatra.

Sinatra with a cold is Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel—only worse. For the common cold robs Sinatra of that uninsurable jewel, his voice, cutting into the core of his confidence, and it affects not only his own psyche but also seems to cause a kind of psychosomatic nasal drip within dozens of people who work for him, drink with him, love him, depend on him for their own welfare and stability. A Sinatra with a cold can, in a small way, send vibrations through the entertainment industry and beyond as surely as a President of the United States, suddenly sick, can shake the national economy.

"Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" is often considered the greatest piece of magazine journalism ever written.
 
So now Dawn has an excuse when she loses again and not get to the Final Four so that she can defend the title.
 
Geno had a cold about 2-3 years ago around the tournament.
