Thank You Sue Bird.

I heard Sue say something to her teammates during a TV broadcast as they broke a huddle during a timeout that I never forgot. She told them "When the ball comes your way, make a play." That was good advice and gave her teammates something to think about.

FAN-tastic.

Do you remember her on the USA Olympic team? Sue the tiny one was the loudest one, AND in charge. She chewed them out, told them where to be, as she did at Uconn --ON the Floor she was THE BOSS. Amazing Sue Bird

.....Just like a player that we have now.

Here’s another one that tugs at the heartstrings…

It’s pretty obvious how big the moment was for Sue. She went out while she could still play the game at her incredibly high level. A classy exit for a classy lady.

Damn those allergies of mine.

Sue tells a Geno story:

Not since Sue has a player taken my brains and my heart.,

Well how could they, if Sue Bird already took them? So, does that mean that you are now brainless and heartless? Not the best combo.

Sad to see her go. She was one of the all-time greats. MUCH RESPECT!!!

For about the last decade, Sue was the most respected and most beloved player in the league. Her jersey was in the top-10 in sales year after year. The word “special” doesn’t do her justice. Best wishes, Sue!

Medically once your heart goes--there goes your brains. However, it is possible to lose your brains then, of course someone else, shall find you no longer have a functioning heart. It is much like the chicken and/or the egg. Which ever tastes best to you! (! for the grammatically Perfect).

Class act, great player, team player, will make a great whatever she chooses next.

Pretty remarkable statement by EDD about Sue. She's talking about a teammate preparing her, not a coach.

 

[UConnCat]

Really nice.

Ends with "Bleed Blue. UConn for life."

 

[Golden Husky]

In a word: "Winner."

 

[UConnCat]

That's impressive

That's impressive

Unparalleled!
