Trying to play devil's advocate for Holly Warlick:

They really have played a relatively difficult SEC slate so far and have four basically one possession losses. Missouri and Kentucky by 2, Arkansas by 1 and Georgia by 4.

Maybe you can argue that a year of experience plus adding Horston and some size would change those outcomes.

Probably worth bringing her back for one more go at it.

Agree, in fact why not give her a lifetime contract. :cool:

This is a topic of which I obviously lack knowledge so going forward @msf22b @SECbbfan24 we will no longer use “Chinese fire drill” here on the Boneyard.

I apologize to anyone who has been offended. My ignorance about this topic allowed the phrase to be used here and I’m sorry.

@JS @Biff

I guess Mexican standoff is also veboten, no? How about Dutch courage?

This 5 game losing streak was all apart of Holly's plan to take down ND


ND won't know what hit them, they will come in thinking easy W

Tennessee upset Notre Dame a year or 2 ago at home Muffet will have them ready for an epic beatdown.

Westbrook was really good during the comeback, but the game is not 1 against 5...hardly ever works (unless the player's name is DT)

OT: Nan, a few months ago I used the expression "Chinese Fire Drill" and was criticized (by a mod?) for using a semi-racial
slur...Is that expression back on the approved list?

Point of information: my wife is a Beijing lass. whom I met there working with the National Ballet and I still have close ties.
I'm hardly racist in viewpoint.

Sue did a pretty good DT impression to end Phoenix WNBA season.

Most 18 yr-old kids feel like they are invincible, and they can certainly bewilder us at times. All these kids are stars in HS and they just assume that it'll be more of the same, regardless of where they decide to go to college. Next year's star incoming freshman Jordan Horston said all the right things during her recruitment about wanting to challenge herself under the best coaching, etc., etc. and then she selected TN. :confused:

Don't any of these players parents bother to watch any teams play. If you really are concerned about your child you should.

I'm sure parents do watch teams play. Most parents just want their kids to be happy. Outside of geography, parents will generally go along with their kid's decision, particularly when it's not going to cost them a dime. While it's appropriate for parents to ask questions and give advice, from my experience, the worst scenarios are when the parents are overly involved in the decision.
 
How about example of Keystone Cops? Too old a reference?

It's not about revenge which is best served cold, it's more like a Clingan Blood Feud.

This train wreck and dumpsters fire was in progress well before .."they decided to play at Tennessee".

I really tried to watch this, but then I found my mind wandering and my eyes shifted right and I found the next video up:
10 AMAZING REACTIONS TO NEW CAR SURPRISE

and I had to leave. The blind leading the blind. Yup, put 40 minutes together and the world will tremble. But maybe start with a quarter.

Tenn is out-talenting some teams, not outplaying them. When the Tenn players don’t play up to their abilities or the other team has as much talent, the LVs are in deep doo doo

Sorry Nan but I have to strenuously disagree with you....When the Tenn players don’t play up to their abilities or the other team has HALF as much talent,....there, I fixed it for you. :rolleyes:

The LV's were not much better 2 years ago when they benefited from a 4th period Irish collapse of mammoth proportions and beat an outstanding ND team. I'd guess Massey will make them about a 25 pt favorite. N Dame has had a few too many late game swoons over the last few years for a team as good as they are.

Tenn will start out full of energy and their ball pressure could force some turnovers but I think ND could out score them wearing eye patches.

Tennessee might score better with eye patches!

I think Dutch courage is not actually pejorative to the Dutch but refers to the source of the high alcohol content beverages available in the slums of ye olde england (and to the common soldiers) - genever gin:

It was genever that British soldiers “discovered” when fighting alongside the Dutch in the late 1500s (it served both medicinal and recreational functions, and provide the term “Dutch courage,” as it was swigged right before battle). This soon led to the creation of juniper-driven gin.

I looked it up and it wasn’t me that chastised you, it was one other UConn fan who felt the phrase was insulting. I did a Google search and didn’t see a lot of references to it being an offensive phrase.

My interpretation is close to the Wiki definition:

"Chinese fire drill" is a slang term for a situation that is chaotic or confusing, possibly due to poor or misunderstood instructions. Wikipedia

For the room-full-of-asians consideration, an equivalent phrase would be "the Keystone Cops play".
