Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3915699, member: 26"] First, "UCONN beat the navels off the Orange" - best line of the week. Thanks Mike! [I]Dailey transcends basketball. There's never been another woman of prominence who has — ever — stood for more decent, wholesome and honorable principles than Chris Dailey, all while helping Auriemma win 11 national championships. Dailey belongs because of who she is, what she stands for and her willingness to teach it. Sometimes, role models, those people in our lives always pushing us toward the right choices, are found right under our nose[/I]s. Just an incredible paragraph and insight into just one of the things that makes CD so great. Then there were her own comments: In the earlier days of the program, Dailey said this: "[I]I think they probably find me annoying when they're here. But I remind them they can find inspiration anywhere if they want to look hard enough. The guy at McDonald's who has to take the bus to work. But still remembers my order. Or reminds me if I'm late one day. Always with a smile. Look how he embraces his job. That's inspiration[/I]." Just wow. Who even talks like that any more? You listen to others try, and it sounds hollow, insincere, and fake. Coming from CD, it's ingrained into her soul. She's special, that's for sure!! I know we often say how lucky we are to have Geno, but we are just as lucky to have Chris. 💖 [/QUOTE]
