First Night Sets Wrong Tone

In full disclosure I enjoy playing with women.

Not what you bargained for when you signed up, huh? haha

Not to continue to pain-in-the-arse you, but I've a question for you: what's the deal with 'needs moderator approval' posts? Doesn't happen much, but often on relatively innocuous posts. Kind of strange. Seems to be no rhyme or reason for it.

As usual, always appreciate the good (thankless) work Tom.

It's been a glitch. But if you are replying to a post that had something the filter caught, it'll throw your reply into queue. Working on it.

JC was a control freak and a motivator - meal 3:30 hours before game time, if you sat behind the bench a certain decorum and so forth. Telling Daniels nobody was talking about him before the FL game.

Some will say none of this matters but I will say this coed First Night doesn't set you on a winning trajectory for the men team that needs to get tougher. It had no impact on Bazz but these guys approached the season the wrong way.

First night has nothing to do with any of this. First night is to celebrate the players and the students and the fans. Just stop.

You don't prepare for the season by celebrating; at UConn MBB you celebrate after winning Championships!

The men should spend more time around the Husky women, not less. The winning and teamwork might be contagious. They might also learn a thing or two about ball movement and knocking down open shots. The Husky women are as mentally tough as they come.

Who cares about First Night? Its what happens after that which matters.


And a hat tip for the Randolph Mantooth meme!!

Speaking of spending time around women, @TasteofUConn is your sister home?

Shout @intlzncster I would have missed this.

Me thinks Cheif's briefs might end up quaruntined on the women's board for our mojo pleasure.

I enjoyed the article but it really proves my point - by early high school they stopped playing each other - i.e puberty. Quite frankly, Geno has his team practice against men not woman- so he doesn't even take the advice of some on this board.

As for Jim Calhoun - he had 26 years to try this "blank"! and wisely elected not too.

Can you imagine this? Every single chief post on the women's board would be about the men (and JC, and Clyde, and Andre...), even in threads having nothing to do with the subject...effectively chief talking to a wall. Would be a beautiful thing to behold indeed.
