I used to play that game at the student center, lol!

That could have been an ad for the food trucks when I was at UConn. Two chili cheese dogs, a bag of bbq potato chips, and an ice cold coke in a glass bottle. I called it, "the room clearer."

I always hated having people sit right next to me in classes with stadium seating. Didn't have that problem after lunch.

IMO, they won't settle before this meeting.

If they don't, it's liable to be a long, hard and rocky ride to a resolution. It could still be dragging on into next season and beyond. I really hope it doesn't, for all parties concerned.

I've never had a problem with criticism. You'll recall I tried really, really hard to carve out a spot for people that want to analyze the games in depth, complete with criticism. But I don't understand why the people that criticize the most are mostly silent or who need to pick out one or two bad thingsafter a fantastic game. It's as though they can't see anything good about the team unless it's perfect - and that's not going to happen. The constant drumbeat of criticism also dilutes it's effectiveness. If someone just complains all the time, it's just whining and not commentary.


You're not a problem. I didn't even know you posted over here until recently.

Maybe the chronic complaining perfection seekers are a by-product of Geno's own continuous search for perfection in the games, Nan? Could they be following his lead? That's his own self-imposed standard the team plays against. Of course, it's unattainable, although sometimes we come really close, like tonight vs. South Carolina.

IDK, food for thought, perhaps?

If you've been watching them play, you can see there are reasons to be a least a little concerned. Their offense has been down.

Only the UConn women can score over 200 points in the first two games of the tournament and be told their offense is down.
Miss. St. Concerns me too but I think revenge will be a factor. They will get their butts whipped.[/QUOTE]

Are we close to eclipsing page views for the Diallo thread? Can't see the number of views on mobile version, only that it's still second.

I think geno would prefer Louisville just to avoid that whole “revenge” distraction.

I enjoyed his comments after the game. But I loved how loose this team was. You know the 2002 team wouldn’t be playing with confetti like 3 year olds in a sandbox.

Considering how tight they were last year at the FF, this is a good sign IMO.

They would laugh to be honest, but they both have earthy senses of humor. I got 'The Book of Farts" for my birthday once. My grandfather gave my dad a book of Outhouses Throughout the Centuries. Probably where I got it from.


I had a principal who insisted on personally doing read aloud with at least one class a day, with the students picking the book. Every year my students picked, "Everybody Poops!"

It's crazy to think about it, but if you step back, they effectively have NO basketball program at this current time.QUOTE]

Maybe they should drop their basketball program and go with football in the AAC.
Gee, would that create an opening?

In grad school at NYU I would stop at the Umbrella Room for two dogs with onions and a coke and then head off to biochem. I had my appointed seat in the upper deck.
