I just wish you guys would get the name right..........It's not a White House visit.

The Official name is : Uconn Casa Blanca --South. And the UConn Women's basketball team visit their home- away -from- home annually in the Fall. They let The Prez use it during the year and the team visit for a little R&R in the Fall. It's an arrangement signed a few years ago, three (3) I think.

The team has been coming there for a lot longer than Obama has...
 
Like annual Christmas tree lighting, and they're now accredited White House tour giving guides. Good stuff, and nice to see the practice guys included too. Half of their championships have been with Barry.

Agreed , but not back-to-back-to-back like the last 3 years is the point. The Lady Vols did it years ago. But lately The Huskies has owned it. What would be nice is if the Huskies can make it a HUSKY SLAM.....Four(4) in a row ! And visit UConn Casa Blanca--South every year of a Presidents term. No WCBB team has ever accomplished such a feat.

Man Butler is huge and not just height. Compare her shoulders to Morgan's. I am so looking forward to seeing her play.

I'm thinking...man oh man, this thing could be so special... pure speculation of course, but I think Natalie could be someone who steps in and leaves a very big footprint in UConn WCBB. Hope so, because it would allow Stewie in her senior year to use her whole skill set to great effect, while affecting us fans in a really great way!

UCC , you are absolutely correct , that is Old Ebbitt Grill.......A staple one block from the White House and frequented by Justices , Senators , and Congressmen alike. And now made FAMOUS by being visited by The Huskies of UConn.
 
I truly believe Natalie has grown....I don't think any of the other ladies has shrunk any , so it must be Natalie.

If you watch the video as the ladies walked up to the riser, Natalie has on heals while Stewie and Kiah have flats on.

First heard of the place in the Testimony for Iran cover up:

Cooper revealed yesterday that Assistant Attorney General William Bradford Reynolds found the document in North's office suite in the Old Executive Office Building that Saturday morning. Because North was in the suite at the time, Reynolds smuggled it out to a luncheon meeting with Meese and Cooper at the Old Ebbitt Grill.

So why not? It's a great way to give prospective recruits a nice time and provide them a good reason to come to UConn. The Vol fans on the Summitt don't have to know about it unless they are snooping around here and . . . . . oh, oh.
 
Damn, it's less than 7 miles from my place, but alas, my invitation was the same place as Mike's. I thought about hanging out near the gate, but decided against it.

Yes, Natalie Butler is every bit as big as Stefanie. She should be a great screen setter. We know she can rebound. It was also a free trip home for her. The old campus is 2 miles away, and the parental unit about 25 miles.

Yes, Moriah is the cutest person on earth (except for my grandkids).

Would the President have the audacity to challenge the great Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis to a game of HORSE? The smart money is on KML.
 
Geno and I like 4 in a row.........Book it for next season and Geno will carrying back the Olympic Gold Medal trophy.........11th NC..WOW!!!
