Olivia can sky!!!!

[JordyG]

Can someone post a recording of her announcement?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Yeah, Liv was ranked #1 by HG before her injury and is still #1 on some lists.

I can see the comparison to Brianna. I think Liv is a little thinner, taller, and longer, but both seem a little better defensively than offensively.

Liv....took me a second to get that. Pretty sneaky nickname.

Liv was rated 1st by Blue Star as recently as September as I've cached below:

...Or as someone else pointed out, it's possible, and maybe more logical, that the fight song was the one that UCONN supplies and was played over the PA system... Either way it was a nice touch for sure!

Not to belabor the point (which is the thing to say when you really want to belabor a point), but as fight songs go, the UConn fight song is a bit complex musically, and if a high school band can play it as well as the Huskies band does, then major kudos to them. It sounded like a perfect copy of the performances I have on the DVR. But my guess is that a high school band could get the notes right maybe, but not the subtleties.

On the other paw, what would be easier than to prepare an unmarked CD and have it played on cue.

I'm not sure if it was the band or a recording, but it was cool.

I would be kind of hard for the band to rehearse the piece in secret and keep it secret. The cat would be out of the bag pretty quickly.

We got players ranked either 1 and 5 or 5 and 1.

Someone called her "Liv." I think it may have been one of the Huskies.

Unless they rehearsed all 5.

Sam B called her Liv

Or you can go by McCormick who has ONO #1 and CW #3.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Unless they rehearsed all 5.

This is true. But I bet the band director would balk at that. Two maybe. Rehearsal time is precious.

And I think you would need a pretty strong trumpet section to pull it off. (UConn's)

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sam B called her Liv

I couldn't recall who it was. I thought it was one of our current players. I was wrong. It was one of our future players.

 

[SVCBeercats]

Well . . . , almost as high as Gabby in about 10 photos of her I use as desktop pix!

UCONN has been blessed with high flyers for sure!!!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Don't forget the kid with the kneepads.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Or the speed demon from Texas.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Or the one with the extra-long reach.

 

[DaddyChoc]

can someone explain where LIV comes from?

Olivia

Makes sense... smh! How did I not see that, I'm so use to seeing ONO

 

[MilfordHusky]

can someone explain where LIV comes from?

Liv comes from Winder, Georgia, about 25 miles west of Athens.

 

[Golden Husky]

what would have Geno done to her?

Wind sprints and no Italian food for a year.

Cat?

 

[Gus Mahler]

Cat?

As in "let the cat out of the bag."

We're conversing in a language so quirky that "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing so I was just tugging your limb (not pulling your leg), Gus, encouraging you to use a more mascot-appropriate species in the cliché.

I wondered about that. I'll see what I can do.
