Injury update for UConn vs Creighton

Slicing it too thin for me @oldude.

I don’t see it that way. “Lady” is a respectful reference that I would use to refer to any woman. “Lady Husky” is an inaccurate team nickname for the UConn Huskies.

I had rotor cuff surgery last year. Six weeks in a sling and six months of rehab. Nasty painful rehab. In the end my shoulder ended up as good as new. Things would have to be pretty bad before I'd have that procedure done again.

Lightweight, I’ve had 3 shoulders surgeries 1 left, 2 right. I was taking my arm out of the sling on day 3. Now I play pain free tennis. But the surgeries were not fun, I won’t take pain pills and I could not lay down for 7-10 days. Rehab while painful, absolutely necessary.

I'm not being critical here @huskeynut, just curious. There was a time when using lady in reference to UConn players was a sort of third rail. I don't know what sparked it, but it could have been our then top rival's fan insistence on calling their players ladies. Anybody have insight on this or is it just a phantom memory on my part?

I've been chastised for calling them "kids" in the past. But understand the avg age of the BY'ers and the fact that these kids are about the same age as my grandkids. Actually, IMO, "ladies" are a step up from "kids".

Lady Diana or Lady Paige doesn't roll off the tongue. A fair number of young women bridle when called Lady, especially when it's preceeded with "Listen". I'm just goofing on you @oldude.

So are you suggesting that any member of the UConn WBB team is not worthy of being referred to as a lady???

Timeout while we momentarily return to the OP. Nothing unexpected in the official report.

Push come to shove I guess I'm suggesting no UConn Husky should play like a lady, more like a Helen Reddy woman, hear me roar.

Indeed.. legs can be stabilized in several ways, and physical therapy works well. But shoulders...by their very nature, they're unstable. They have to rotate in all sorts of ways, and when healing from a tear or pull, tend to freeze up, as with my now relatively useless right shoulder. It's surgery or to heck with it.

Frozen shoulders … tell me about it!

How about "My old lady"....popular in the 70's.

A friend who’s now a physician, when I was going through some shoulder stuff said, “You hear the shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint, but it’s not, it’s more like a cup-and-saucer joint.”
