Small-brained Philly writer at it again with bad bad UConn

As to Philly lameness, I would start with the 76ers, then the Phillies, then go to the Flyers, and definitely leave the Eagles for the end. Others may have different opinions and\or order.

For the sports that I care the most about and this board is mainly supposed to be about I like to mention that having 4 of the 8 coaches in the FF (WCBB &MCBB) from Philly would more than make up for any lameness of the professional teams that call Philly home.

CoCo , come on..Aren't all Santa's suppose to be jolly old fat men? Especially those that's been eating Philly Cheesesteaks all day. Maybe the fans thought he was horrible , but he might have been just constipated that day.... ..Only kidding.

There were unconfirmed reports that this Santa was drunk- It was Christmas Eve after all!

LOL..........Yeah , I do remember that.

The problem is, we live in a country where greatness in certain arenas is frowned upon, while mediocrity is celebrated and in some cases, longed for by fools.

Women's collegiate basketball and segments of "pop culture" immeadiately come to mind.

Okay, so you're in Philly on Christmas Eve and you suddenly remember you're going to be up all night going all over the place in a cramped vehicle powered by an uncertain type of power source and having to rely on the shine off of a nose so you can see your way, and your payment for it all is some warm milk and stale cookies. Wouldn't you get totally plastered?

Interesting you should only mention the above news media - What about ABC's Brian "I was there" Williams, NBC's, manipulation of sound bites and scientific testing for their own agenda, etc.. Perhaps you have an agenda also ?

Yes. I do. So? The difference is that we're having a conversation here. I am no longer a professional journalist nor an instructor of the same. In a conversation, it is (or should be) understood that all parties communicate from their own values, experiences, and beliefs. And, if you check my OP, I said "...and others." You chose to identify those you view as the others. I respect and accept this as being reflective of your beliefs and values.

With all due respect to "Johnny Smalls" Smallwood, stick to something you know about, dude- Pat's or Geno's.

Sent this to him this evening:

In your article you raise an important point as to why other teams have not caught up with Connecticut. Yet, your only answer is to lower the number of scholarships. What you have not addressed is how Coach Auriemma is able to get his 13 players (two are walk-ons), 8 person rotation, perform at such a consistently dominant level, work together so cohesively? How has he done this year after year, with different players?
He lost two major starters from last year and yet has had an incredible run so far this year. How does he get great players to play within his team concept. Aren't these questions relevant to you?
What about addressing the quality of his staff, his practice approach?
Surely, women's NCAA D1basketball has other great players, other great coaches, but they have not yet been able to form the cohesivenessthat UConn embodies. I'm attaching two photos of UConn players -one from two years ago and one from this year. There is a good deal to be learned from them.
