LOL. Of course, but names on the back of jerseys don't seem to matter.In case you missed it, I wrote that “you can never have enough fans.”

@Kat Welcome to The Yard. Do understand Dogs may not always agree with Kats.If more people can identify them the more they can connect with the team and the players. It would help build the brand.

UConn built its brand by winning. And winnng a lot.If more people can identify them the more they can connect with the team and the players. It would help build the brand.
Do you really think the UConn brand needs that kind of help? People don't know that Bueckers, for instance, or Fudd play for UConn? Really?Kat come on now! Are you new to UConn WBB?
Lol!!! Good one Nan.Print it out for next game

Sorry but if you are a fan of WCBB, you are in one of 2 categories (well, maybe 90% of WCBB fans): 1) you're a fan of UConn or 2) you probably dislike UConn.If more people can identify them the more they can connect with the team and the players. It would help build the brand.

Don’t think your response was for me.Do you really think the UConn brand needs that kind of help? People don't know that Bueckers, for instance, or Fudd play for UConn? Really?
I wasn’t aware the brand needed building.If more people can identify them the more they can connect with the team and the players. It would help build the brand.
I am so in favor of UConn's tradition of not having players' names on uniforms. This society is too self-engaged, full of me-isms. Selfies, Tik-Tok , Me, me, me... I can only imagine how difficult it must be to teach young women who have been inundated with this, a team concept...No names. Never. Not ever. UConn does things differently. Period. In truth, I'm also for a moment of silence by these announcers that lasts all game.
BTW, players receive a uni with their name on it on SENIOR DAY.
Will never happen. UConn isn’t going to change a policy to compensate for incompetent announcers.
And send the list of numbers and names to the Stations and ESPN. Some great historical pundit once saidPrint it out for next game

The funniest story I heard about that era was CD had an argument with someone in authority (might have been GA) about the sandwiches in the bag lunches they were going to take on the bus for their road game. Don't remember the details but I remember laughing about it for days.To hear GA describe the facilities, offices etc. I'm not sure if they even had matching uniforms back then.
Why are you talking about my brother? I don't remember that quote at all!Names? Are you saying names? There are no names in UConn women’s basketball. (With apologies to Tom Hanks.)
Post/handle@Kat Welcome to The Yard. Do understand Dogs may not always agree with Kats.
There is this thing that I find repulsive with women's basketball coverage on TV, not SNY, that the announcers talk and talk and talk about everything except the game. If that happened in the men's games, they would be off the air in one game. It's really sexist, as though they are implicitly stating that the women's games are not interesting enough so we have to add to it. They frequently make wrong calls, don't give you important information like the number of fouls, don't know the players, and are just annoying background noise. I don't know how it changes. They don't need names on the jerseys, they should know the players, it's their job.I was watching the game with Mercer yesterday with a friend who was not familiar with the UConn team. He kept asking me to identify a player as the announcers (CBS) would never mention who was doing what. It seemed that they were too busy telling their stories rather than provide a basic play-by-play. This has occurred more than once, the FOX Sports broadcasters would do this, too. I think it would help if the players had their names on their jerseys.
