Put her in Coach, she's ready to play today.Many will be pleased to see the much smaller thumb protection today. She "participated in warmups by feeding the post (right hand only). Progress.
So I am at the game and noticed there is no wrap at all for Dorka as the team came out for their 20 min to game warmup and said to myself “hey let me got to the Dorka update thread and see if anyone has posted anything and wham, I see 5 pages of updates, so of course 4.5 pages are of “hijacked” thread posts before I see your relevant post! Good job Biff! The rest of you who post all the other drivel, go to the relevant thread next time…Many will be pleased to see the much smaller thumb protection today. She "participated" in warmups by feeding the post (right hand only). Progress.
One of the things I stated that I wanted to see today was Dorka lowering that hand more often which she's been keeping raised to avoid the pain of blood flowing into her thumb. Progress baby.Many will be pleased to see the much smaller thumb protection today. She "participated" in warmups by feeding the post (right hand only). Progress.
We won’t know she’s ready until we see her high fiving her teammates on the bench.Put her in Coach, she's ready to play today.

Slide over Zinethar, I'll sit next to you. I agree with your take on Stanford. First, like some other teams that were ranked inappropriately in the first preseason rankings like Tennessee (who slid right out of the top 25), and Texas is right behind them who lost to unranked South Florida last night 70-65, should also fall out of the top 25 in the next poll. Stanford In my opinion was also ranked too high.I'll likely take a bit of flak for this but IF UConn beats ND that would be 4 wins against top 10 teams in 6 games. To me that should move them up in the rankings. Beating good teams should trump beating random mediocre or worse teams. For example Stanford (who is a very good team) played three cupcakes in Hawaii over the holiday for wins and lost to top 10 South Carolina. Yes it was close. No banana in my view. I also know at this point in the season it is irrelevant but is a thing of pride for a team. At the end of the season UConn will again be pasted as having a week conference (not nearly as true as it used to be). So why not the teams above UConn now.
Tony I'm hoping that UConn goes into Purcell Pavilion tomorrow with a huge chip on their shoulder, and a BIG 64oz can of Whu** A** under their arm. I want UConn to break 'em off, and break 'em off early, and leave with a convincing double-digit win.I dont think UConn loses to ND. I dont think its about UConn beating ND I think its about by how much. UConn is getting better and better every game. Nikas energy and fire is contagious and the entire team has caught it. Its the Nika Flu and UConn is getting better each game. If UConn gets hot from the outside and they will it could be a long nite for ND. Dont get me wrong ND has a lot of talent but right now UConn is on a run and playing at a very high level and imo its all about confidence which comes from the Nika Flu. Its contagious.
High fiving with BOTH HANDS!We won’t know she’s ready until we see her high fiving her teammates on the bench.
Massey has UConn second.Slide over Zinethar, I'll sit next to you. I agree with your take on Stanford. First, like some other teams that were ranked inappropriately in the first preseason rankings like Tennessee (who slid right out of the top 25), and Texas is right behind them who lost to unranked South Florida last night 70-65, should also fall out of the top 25 in the next poll. Stanford In my opinion was also ranked too high.
The Cardinal certainly has not done enough to stay at #2 ahead of UConn who has played/defeated 3 top 10 teams, and plays #7 Notre Dame tomorrow. With the exception of playing #1 South Carolina AT HOME, Stanford HAS NOT played one other top 25 team [schedule]. How do they maintain their #2 ranking? Who have they played/beaten to stay there? Not 1 other team from a power 5 conference. All mid-majors. UConn deserves to move up to number two Monday (when the new top 25 poll is released) if they beat Notre Dame tomorrow. 4 wins over 4 top 10 teams. As Chris Carter would say.............C'mon man.
no commentWe will see, eventually if I have to eat crow.Not bragging, but so far I am 5-0. I ALWAYS think positive. Either Gabby Williams or Kia Nurse said, " if you think you are going to lose you are going to make it happen." I never think we are going to lose, no matter the team or player. GO HUSKIES!!!
