May have missed something, but cannot grok

[DobbsRover2]

the quote featured in all of the game articles by GT coach Terri Williams-Flournoy that went, "Last year we played at our place; we played at the Big East and then we played at Temple. So you're on neutral sites every time." She was referencing the difference about getting blown out at Gampel to last year's closer games on the "neutral" sites.

Okay so down in Washington, at Hartford (BET), and then the Philly East regional game, which seems to add up to one neutral site. But there were no comments about the quote, so maybe there was an insider joke here? UConn fan attendance down at GT turned the 1st game into basically a neutral territory situation? CT natives are perhaps bored with the BET at this point and didn't show up at the 2nd game in large enough numbers? Puzzling, especially since there were a lot of discussion about UConn's last home loss, a BET game at the HCC in 2007 that was counted as a home game though it was in the conference tournament.

BYW: not much talk about attendance in general this season which seems to be improving
Comments?

DobbsRover2, if you're referring to the other thread that mentioned Terri Williams-Flournoy's quote about Dolson, that was after the 2011 NCAA Sweet Sixteen game in Philly. At the time, it aroused a lot of criticism among UConn fans because it seemed like a gratuitous cheap shot from a coach who just lost a game her troops had almost won.

Otherwise, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

If it's any consolation, neither can I.

DobbsRover, I heard that, too. I didn't detect any irony in her voice--but how could she say that GT's home court and Hartford were both neutral sites? I didn't get it, either.

Wonk, um, not sure what Dolson has to do about neutral sites, unless that too is an insider joke. No, Stef did not figure in any quote by Terri that I saw yesterday.

Just a coincidence then, that all of a sudden the world is besotted by the wondrous words of Terri Williams-Flournoy. Watch out, CVS - TWF is gaining on you!

Robert Heinlein would be proud to be noted with one of his famous words on the Boneyard! However, I also do not grok this muddled statement.

Sometimes a grok is just a grok.
