So you would not have watched the original Harlem Globetrotters because they routinely beat the snot out of the Washington Generals?

You're kidding right? Surely you understand that the Globetrotters are a novelty act. My parents were barely glints in my grandparents' eyes when they were considered a legitimate franchise (1920-40's).

Why don't you just compare Iowa's wrestling program to the WWE?

Personally, I think Geno needs to unload about 3 players. I mean Faris, Doty and Buck weren't real scoring threats.

I hear he's dropping them from next year's roster and their scholarships are probably kaput. The guy has no heart. Regarding us being sarcastic here - Yeah, right.

Maybe better, the Christians to the lions. Yup, that's closer, and surely not a novelty act.

As a runner, I can assure you the race does always go to the swift and the slow and steady does not win the race. Fast and steady is the way to go.

I do believe your sarcasm detector is on the fritz.
 
Incidentally, I know from reading Husky25's posts on other boards that he means exactly what he says, and that there is nothing sexist or condescending about his posts in this thread.

Well, clearly he doesn't understand the criteria for posting on this board!

So I need to be sexist and condescending? Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

Good day, Folks.

You actually got me thinking and I am going to post another thread about why I lost interest in the men's game after being a live and die fan of the celtics for years. You might find it interesting if you stop back. And, without sarcasm, thanks for stopping by. We are very proud of the women's team, and nice to have visitors from other boards, even briefly.

When I was fast I thought so, too...time to reread your Ecclesiastes...better preparation for when the wheels get rusty...

Valid concern by the way. Imagine the deficit if Heather Buck hadn't put the team on her back for a steal and lay up. That's a potential 4 point swing. Buck's graduating - how are we going to make up those points?

Congratulations to Alex for setting off a thread with so many levels and layers of responses... I feel like I am working thru a large puff pastry while on an elevator! Primo work! And in only seven words!

I don't get embarrassed over women's basketball. I watch it so infrequently that I really don't have anything to add normally. I think by virtue of athletic ability, the womens game is more fundementally sound, but there are just so many 96-45 games that I can really get into. I saw the thread title and commented...period.

Know what you mean. Watching the #5 seed VCU guys more than doubling up on Akron in the tourney this year at 88-42 just killed my interest in the guys' tourney, along with UConn being left out. But there's just too many blow-outs, and this year they couldn't even get a real underdog like the women's #5 seed L-Ville into the NC, so just not worth watching.

Bridgeport Fire Department???

I grew up in a town called Berwick, and my father was on the (volunteer) Fire Department. Our Boy Scout meetings were held in the Fire Department so I saw a lot. To me has always meant, Berwick Fire Department.

In the words of the late, great Damon Runyon: "The race may not always go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong..but, that's the way to bet!"

Was killing time on the weekend. Trying to get comfortable with the new pup that is now our image.

BTW, I think I like it but seeing the "white version" I think I would have liked that better. However, I don't want to distract from the serious conversation in this thread and start talking mascots again.

Alex points out that our team is falling apart. It's got a negative trend going into the first game next year and and it must be analyzed, dissected and fixed before practice begins. This can only be done (properly) by the experts on the boneyard.

Keep to what you know, bro.
If'n you don't know how to play b-ball... keep OFF Blue Hills Ave.
(I assume the chain net court across from Mt Sinai hospital is still operating.... winner-takes-it-out style.)
