Muffet turned 63 today.... Geno is 64.... Now on another thread dealing with Boston, they all claimed concern about how Geno would retire and not be there for four years... yet noone seems concerned about Muffet age.... Geno is a class act...

BroadwayVa - I understand your point. I disagree with it. There were 4 incidents with Arike. Two involved Dangerfield, one with Geno and one with Williams. There has also been an incident this season with Arike when ND played Oregon St. A pattern seems to be developing.

As I said, Muffet won't do anything. ND administration and the NCAA won't do anything either. That means they condone the actions that happened. That is sad.

I didn't see but 2 on Danger, heard the announcers about the Geno thing.
If there truly is a multi-game pattern ND will be forced to do something.
Looking at the half time exploits of AO in the off season one would expect a kid to be full of themselves, that much TV/media exposure can be heady stuff.
Thanks--Nice way to disagree without being disagreeable--I like nice people, thanks.

I have been fearful some not so nice WCBB coaches would use his age against him. Albeit, he has in recent years implied he'd be at Uconn a long long time--as long as he is having fun why would anyone doubt it? Except for their own selfish aims/goals.
 
I guess they felt like UConn was supposed to lay down and let them win. They wanted to impress everyone and the media and hold on to their #1 ranking because it’s not something they’re used to. When they loss, apologies started coming from everywhere in Irish land.

Muffet is still bitter about something even after winning the NC. She's an embarrassment. And pathetic the way the two try to drag Geno down with them.

Bitter? More like reality setting in.
After last years overtime "hail Mary" win, many UConn fans would argue, ND got lucky. After UConn's win on Sunday, that argument became a statement.
 
.-.
Is this--the unsportsmanlike conduct, the flagrant fouls, the introduction of UConn as "Kentucky," the failure to shake hands after the game, the insufficient apology, et al--likely to be a prime topic of discussion among coaches and, significantly, will it be enough of a taint to impact Notre Dame's recruiting?
 
9 pages of UConn fans bashing Muffet after winning the game is pretty pathetic. I shudder to imagine what would have been written had UConn lost!

While I'm in full popcorn-munching mode on this Muffet pettiness trip, and so I get where Chiney's coming from, it's sad that Arike's dirty play seems to be getting lost in the wash.

Sadly, Chiney's tweet will be interpreted by some as a "girls will be girls" type of excuse for both Arike's and Muffet's brand of "loss of poise." Which sends ... what message, exactly? Notice that Brunelle, who will debut in a ND uniform in 11 months, is the one who retweeted.

That's right. Part of the reason for that is the sounds (conspiracy?) of silence by the so-called pundits of WCBB. Not a peep from Rebecca, Kara, Chiney, Mechelle, LaChina or Debbie on the elephant in the room. They watched the game. They've seen the videos. Surely they know about the flagrant in the Oregon State game. A simple "there's no place in the game for that" would have been appropriate seems to me.

Oh well.

Don't forget unknown individual at the end of the bench (or "the Grassy Knoll", as it were) who is looking at Muffet and keeping her hands at down.

I'll say it again..........teams take on the personality of its coach. Or...........the leaf seldom falls far from the tree. Take your pick.

9, then 10, then 11 ad infinitum. And this has nothing to do with winning. Love it!!!!

Depends, in the fantasy world where ND won, did AO play the same dirty, unclassy game? And did Muffet do nothing about it?

There was a point during the game when it was clear that the game was getting away from ND, prior to the Arike dust-up with Geno. ESPN caught a shot of MM with a look of bewilderment. It was obvious that she was stunned by the fact that her loaded, defending national championship team was getting schooled once again by UConn, and she had no idea why.

In some ways, the Arike situation and whatever the hell is going on between MM and Stewie provide a convenient excuse for ND being outhustled, outplayed and outcoached on Sunday. It's not that UConn is a better team. It's that "WE (ND)" lost our poise. The alternative for MM is evidently unacceptable, to admit her team was outplayed and she was outcoached.

Flash back two seasons ago when UConn surprised ND in South Bend. Rather than crediting UConn for a hard fought win, she complained about the number of fouls that were called on the Irish vs the Huskies, MM is a championship coach, but whenever she loses a game, particularly to the Huskies, she casts about for an excuse rather than crediting the opposing team.

dcfan is an ND supporter (big surprise) who's been mostly lurking around here for approximately 7 months, and has posted 7 or 8 times. Still, we welcome everyone here, especially UCLA fans. ;)

Geno himself said something similar in the past. Remember when the stuff was going down at the final four that has been talked about in this thread and Geno said just because it's women's basketball do people think we're all friends and go home and drink wine or something to that effect.
Expand ...
Yes, Geno said that, but he was responding to MM's slight to one of his players, Stewie. You can call Geno just about any name in the book and he'll laugh it off. But once you go after one of his players, he will defend them fiercely. It is also worth noting that the next time the two teams met, Geno handed MM a birthday present and asked her, "Are we good?" in an effort to bury the hatchet.

Can someone more twitter-y than myself explain the use of the coffin emoji by Sue and Swin?

I'm not a tweeter either, but according to the internet, the coffin emoji can signify death, a funeral or sorrow depending on the context in which it is used.

Presumably it's the same usage as the skull emoji. Signifying "I'm dead". As in, "This is so funny that I have died of laughter".

Usually used when something is not only funny but somewhat shocking or audacious, too.
