A number of years ago, I looked at my granddaughter’s AP English book, and there was a song by Bruce Springsteen in it. I said, “Ooh, there’s a song by Bruce Springsteen!” And she said...

“Who’s Bruce Springsteen?”

I had a similar experience about 40 years ago when I worked at Hartford Stage. Some kids were in, probably working a changeover between shows, and Paul McCartney came up, and we were talking about some of the great Beatles songs and the kids had blank expressions on their faces, then one piped in ' oh, wasn't't that the group he was with before wings?' Unbelievable!

I think our games on SNY are very good... Allen could update the # of points players have during the games a lot more often.
The ESPN games have the potential to be better, but they have to plug upcoming mens games, which most of us do not care about, and often the analyst will compare women players to NBA players. They chat way too much, driving me crazy, because the game is going on... They often do not explain what a whistle is for , and the ball changes teams and we do not know why..
It is a lot worse now that some games are called from the studio or from home. Caroline Peck explaining what is being said in a huddle is often not believable, and she is a thousand miles away. I do love to see Rebecca and now Sue Bird doing the games.

The Fox crew was terrible, but THANK YOU Fox for tying. Please be better next time.

Considering that it was FOX's first ever broadcasting of a women's college basketball game, I gave them a pass because many of the viewers may have been watching UConn and/or DePaul for the first time. I think they tried to bring the viewers up to speed on the women's game, especially those that have never watched before.

Funny, chem [and math] were my best subjects, my major(s) in college .. I taught math at Christ the King HS where Chamique, Sue Bird & Tina Charles attended. I also coached for the Liberty Belles AAU, the farm team for all those CTK national championships, eh?
Both of my daughters played hoops at CTK.

So you know something about women's basketball, eh?

I believe the broadcast was the first on the National network Fox station - the one that has NFL games, TV programs, NASCAR, etc. However I believe the two game announcers have done plenty of broadcasts on FS1, FS2 and Fox Regional Sports Networks before the game on Fox.
