I wanted to start a new thread that would be positive, humorous, and uplifting. I truly understand how much this loss hurts for UConn fans, whose program has set the standard for consistent, sustained excellence, not just in women's basketball or women's sports, but in all of sports.
So here goes...
My favorite Boneyard screen name belongs to @schmendrick .
As I am Jewish and also speak a little Yiddish (and took a graduate course on the history of Yiddish linguistics), every time @schmendrick posts, I chuckle.
In Yiddish, "schmendrick" means to a foolish person (polite version) or a stupid person (less-polite definition). It is similar to the Yiddish word "schlemiel" in that respect.
My brother's middle name is Frederick, and whenever he did something to REALLY upset my parents, my mother exclaimed, "Schmendrick" (being a play on his middle name and referencing the foolishness of his actions).
To the Boneyard faithful...which poster has the best screen name in your opinion?
