Putting In The Work

I originally posted in this thread because I had no idea whose nickname was "Silk" and I wanted to know who you were referring to. I didn't remember seeing that nickname before. It wasn't that I didn't agree with it. Heck, many BYers tend to create new names for many players and some stick, some don't.
And my statement was about how I try to refer to every player by their first name. Except I did sometimes refer to Katie Lou as just Lou...until Lou Lopez-Senechal arrived in Storrs.

Np sir your have a good day and a most prosperous and productive New Year.

what is that on her ear? seriously, i'm not knowledgeable on this.

it is nice to see her participating. we wish her well, and the best in 2025.

A lot of players have those in practice. I assume it's covering a cuff that's hard to take off, so they only take them off for games.

Probably tape covering a piercing

Why on earth would the school close the player’s dorms? I mean, if they’re going to schedule games during the break, they need to accommodate the players. I get that there’s not much going on there over the break. But what do they expect the kids not from Connecticut to do? Jana and Ice for example? Inês? Aaliyah, Nika and Dorka?

When our daughter was in college at Haverford College, they kept the dorms open over the fall break but not the spring break. And they closed all food outlets on campus. What on earth did they expect out of state kids like her to do? And the kids from Africa India and Asia? They recruit these kids and then leave them high and dry several times a year.

The dorms are open for teams/band/etc., that are still on campus during the break. I've been and am still involved various teams and groups of students still on campus during break. Football, band, basketball, and a few more are all in their dorms/apartments. Times have changed in student housing at UConn. They are not in hotels. That did once happen, but not anymore.
