This is my first post. As I have been a lurker for years now, It has been my pleasure to get to know many Yarders so I am coming out of the shadows and into the Boneyard. Actually, it was Bill that encouraged (forced) me to do it. Hi Bill. My wife and I are leaving for Hartford soon to have dinner before the first game so I don’t have a lot of time now but I will be doing more post in the future. See some of you at the game tonight.

Yep, doing well but Lenten/Easter obligations did not allow attending the Big East this year.

Welcome!

I used to fear posting because sometimes things can get a little tough. You post here, be prepared for a little flak now and then. But, it is relatively genteel here on the women's (never LADIES) basketball board in comparison to the men's basketball, football and conference realignment boards. I am still too intimidated to post there.

I have learned so much about basketball from the boards. Not that I am an expert by any means. But when I first became a fan of UCWBB, I didn't know a pick and roll from a back-door cut. Yes, really. I still can't tell a charge from a block, but I take great comfort in the fact that the "experts" Dennis DeMayo, Bonita Spence and Dee Kantner can't tell most of the time either.

Speaking of....anyone have the current odds on that dynamic trio doing the championship game?

Couldn't have taken much effort. That's a pretty short shadow to come out of!

How many posts does it take before you're taught the secret handshake?

Welcome to the Boneyard. Don't be intimidated by the know-it-alls here. Remember - just because someone talks more than you do doesn't mean they know more.

Hello, and welcome from a long-distance BYer. Have never (consciously) met others on the Board, and probably never will, given how seldom we get to games. But the long-distance conversations are wonderful.

The Boneyard is being conned. I never met UCAP_Fan and his wife in my life and have no idea who they are. And whatever you do; don't offer him a beer. He's the designated driver.
