Debate Over For Now

The Svengali of Storrs comes down definitively :



Wish I could make out what is on the back of his T.

Good, but the fine print??? Wonder where he got that shirt?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

And here is a break through retweet from Nika. She seldom tweets.

 

[pvdoggy]

Good, but the fine print??? Wonder where he got that shirt?

You can make out the fine print if you zoom in.

 

[eebmg]

Geno probably has a Maya version, a Stewie version and I think a Sue version (or should)

 

[eebmg]

and it is spreading

and with the results that Portland (and Dame in particular) had, I would wear it for all the games. Maybe give Lebron one to.

 

[CL82]

Here, at least the front

 

[Argonaut]

The Mercury selectively sent out 25 of those shirts and they're slowly popping up. Holly Rowe got hers earlier this week!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Geno probably has a Maya version, a Stewie version and I think a Sue version (or should)

And after a bit of time he'll have a Paige Buckets version.

 

[eebmg]

Geno is probably fitting Paige with a completely blank T-shirt.. (or if Geno is feeling charitable, the Gatorade and McDonald Awards in 10 pt font)

With a click to go and down by three, who would you choose?

 

[MilfordHusky]

AP--Player of the Year

NCAA--Champion

Rookie--Of the year

League--Most Valuable Player

Finals--Most Valuable Player

Olympic--Gold Medalist

League--Scoring champion

10X--League 1st team

 

[MilfordHusky]

Either the Chino GOAT or the Syosset GOAT.

 

[Argonaut]

Another sighting...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Another sighting...

Either the player IN the T-shirt or the player ON the T-shirt!

 

[UcMiami]

Haven't seen anyone talk about it, but having the Olympics postponed for a year may have an effect on both Sue and DT being available. Be a shame if they missed a last Olympic Hurrah because of this pesky virus.

 

[cbraarj]

Either the Chino GOAT or the Syosset GOAT.

Kerry Bascom would be top 3.

 

[DefenseBB]

Kerry Bascom would be top 3.

What? Over Maya? No way. As the 1st true UConn Star, I get the adulation but to say she's better than Maya, Lobo or Stewie...you lost me. Yogi Berra was one of the greatest catchers of all time, is in the Hall of Fame, but he would be hard pressed to be included in the top 5 Yankees of all time as it is an AWESOME list. Same here for Ms. Bascom.

Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio and... For me, #5 is Berra (over Jeter and Ford).

 

[j66kicker]

Me too. Yogi participated in 21 World Series as a player, coach or manager. Played in 75 World Series games and won 10 rings, more than Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, Jeter, Ford, or anyone else in history - Yankee or non-Yankee (well, except for Geno Auriemma of course).

Mo, who is the greatest reliever of all time and who's postseason career against the best teams was even more remarkable.
Again, I am not saying Yogi isn't great, he WAS but relative to his position and his teammates, he's not in the top 5, in my humble opinion.
DT, Stewie, Maya, Lobo, Bird are my top 5 (just to bring the thread back on point).

Except that, as an everyday catcher, Yogi was on the field a LOT more than the great Mariano. And arguably the greatest catcher of all-time. Finally, Berra had a higher career WAR. It's an interesting discussion.

 

[chrissaran]

Yogi 13 World Series and Mariano 5.

DT, Stewie, Maya, Bird, Tina ... if she'd won another championship I'd be considering Napheesa. The amazing thing about my five, or anyone's UConn top five, is the amazing talents you don't choose. Is a top 10 bette? Or is it the same problem when considering numbers 8-14. The trials and tribulations of fandom when your program is the best ever.

When Maya was a Sr.

What? Over Maya? No way. As the 1st true UConn Star, I get the adulation but to say she's better than Maya, Lobo or Stewie...you lost me. Yogi Berra was one of the greatest wa of all time, is in the Hall of Fame, but he swould be hard pressed to be included in the top 5 Yankees of all time as it is an AWESOME list. Same here for Ms. Bascom.

When Maya was a Sr. at UConn. Geno C.D. Shea and Marissa did a Dinner with the Coaches with a Q & A afterwards. One question given to Geno was who he would have taking the last shot? Before he could answer the audience shouted out Taurasi! He didn't have to answer but then he said Kerry Bascom because she had to hit those shots and handled it well like Diana! Maya or Stewie never hit those shots at UConn but Diana, Kerry and Sue did! It's not adulation because I never did that for any player! When I coached or played and especially a fan! No what you're talking about before commenting. You have a bad habit of doing that! I agree with Geno about Kerry! Write Geno and disagree!

As we are talking about a T-shirt and all the accolades that were listed and that morphed into Sue Bird as she was wearing that T-Shirt, you added Kerry, to which I simply responded Maya and noted how very good a player Kerry was but simply is not as accomplished as Maya who's T-shirt would be eerily similar to DTs.

So, not sure where you come up with "no" (?) vs. "know" what you're talking about". Maya's credentials for a T-shirt and what she's done for UConn and BB and LIFE all are deserving of top 3.

How many of those was Berra in the outfield and not behind the plate
