Boote, while I'm a fan of the Huskies, I'm not THAT emotionally invested to the point I develop insomnia or begin to worry when they lose a game. From the looks of their last game, they are going to lose a lot more games including some conference games. 2-3 more performances like Thursday's, they'll face the possibility of falling out of the top 25. You can't lose to unranked teams and remain in the top 25.
Let's hope for the best today, and a UConn victory, even if it's an "ugly" win. 
Time to start thinking about who we DO have, and not about who we DON'T have. This is the time for EVERY player on the roster to decide if they are going to be part of the problem, or part of the solution. Every team on their schedule from this point on is looking to knock them off before they can rite the ship. UConn was held to 44 points by an unranked team. There are no guarantees going forward.To me , that's 4 paragraphs of heavy emotional investment. Just saying...While I'm a fan of the Huskies, I'm not THAT emotionally invested to the point I develop insomnia or begin to worry when they lose a game.

They have the next 7 calendar days off for final exams. I don't think they want to go that long having to sit on two back-to-back losses. They'll have enough to occupy their thoughts with trying to ace their final exams. I have plenty of household chores and "honey-do's" to keep me busy all day today and tomorrow. I'm watching NFL football tomorrow, so what doesn't get done today, will have to wait until Monday. That's the great thing about being retired. What ever you don't get done today, there's always tomorrow. It will still be there.
UCLA is also missing several players today. Hopefully UConn can put 4 quarters together of good TEAM play, not collapse in the 4th quarter and find a way to win. I'm not looking for anyone to step up today, that ship has sailed. If someone were going to step up, they would have done it Thursday.
I'm hoping the team can play together, feed off of each other, score 1 more point than UCLA, play some semblance of defense and limit the Bruins to 1 shot per possession. I don't care how they do it, just get 'er done. The Boneyard critics were out in force hot and heavy after the Georgia Tech loss. I shudder to think of the criticisms that will be levied against Geno and the team if they lose today.
I'm not the least bit worried about Uconn WCBB. I have concerns over Paige and Nika, Aubrey, these are my kids and I care about them. Geno, as he has in 40 years, if the talent is there, GENO will right this ship. This is a GAME, it isn't life, it isn't health or wealth, it is a game. On second thought, I do worry. I worry that the negative posting are read by these kids. I worry they will feel they are responsible for the loss, they are NOT. Win or lose 99.98 percent of the BY will love them.
You may survive the game. Will you survive the sandwich??
Hot pastrami and Swiss on rye is my favorite sammitch. But sloppy joe?
Your last paragraph. None of the kids on the UConn WCBB are "part of the problem". If any of them knew what was wrong or what happened do you believe they would not have corrected it then and there?? Is GENO part of the problem, probably more than the kids, but even he didn't have a clue.Boote, while I'm a fan of the Huskies, I'm not THAT emotionally invested to the point I develop insomnia or begin to worry when they lose a game.

Barely as to both.
Definitely. Key is the bread. The rye has to be very, very thin. One piece of advice, don't eat it during a really poorly officiated game like today. Instant agita.
You are not purists, then, as I am. The proper use of pastrami is on fresh marble rye ( seedless ) with spicy mustard. Nothing else.
Agreed as to spicy mustard.
Years ago my wife use to get "cooked Pastrami" with the spices you could actually see. We would cook it up in a frying pan with cheese on top, and place it on a baked hard roll with butter and garlic. Wow was that great. Un fortunately we haven't been able to find it for many years, even decades. If anyone knows what I am talking about, do you know of any place in Conn. where I could find it? Thanks, I've given up finding it on my own. LOL

The answer is in your question.
I don't disagree, except for the marble rye. In an NY or NJ deli, it's just thin regular rye. I ate that sloppy Joe during the game and I haven't eaten since. Not a good move. You can't be slowed down when you have to yell and scream at the officials on TV.
