Weekend Boneyard Review Quiz
-Well its Friday, time to quiz if you've really been paying any attention this week here at the Boneyard.
--As a reminder, conscientious Boneyard readers are proven*** to expand brain functionality 2.74 times faster than those studying at Luminosity.com or Angie's List. I forget which one. So lets get right to the quiz question:
Q: You remember this picture, right? Of course you do. But answer:
Exactly why is Coach Auriemma holding that #105 sign above his head?
A. He's toying with the French. If you've been reading carefully, you know the U19 Game stands now have reps from competing US universities scouting international players, with the potential for big, big US scholarship offers. The close USA-France game came down to the final minute. As seen here, Geno slyly waited until that very last minute to open the bidding on the elite French center... but opened that bidding with merely a $105 scholarship offer at UConn, the USA's leading WCBB program. French morale, of course, instantly collapsed. USA wins again!
Or...
B. He's toying with the Boneyard. Just as men must forever guess what makes Mona Lisa smile, so too, Storrs' seemingly ensures fan interest in Bria Hartley's height will never die, by laying a clever labyrinth of conflicting (or, are they?) clues. Only too aware we're still trying to divine this one, going into Bria's Senior year... a fed up Coach Auriemma is seen here at the U19 Games, personally stepping in and perhaps waving another tantalizing clue to Hartley's height: "105" Angstroms (the standard measurement unit in Lithuania).
-- Note 1: The debate, of course, did not end there, as some skeptics claimed 105 Angstroms may be too short. Even for a guard. Even for a guard in P.T. Barnum's state...
-- Note 2: Out of the blue, dashing DoggyDaddy determinedly dug deep, daringly doing due diligence, dutifully deciding d...(eh, never mind). When posing the question directly to Storrs, the Oracles cryptically replied: 5' 8." Clever devils. And so the controversy continues, ... since we'll probably never really know if this is her height with or without shoes (Note: NCAA requires shoes be worn at all games, with no exceptions, ... although the need for wearing shoes anywhere remains customarily ignored by Knoxville fans).
Or...
C. He's toying with Doris Burke. Geno's is seen here at the U19 Games reminding Stewie he wants her to start a rumor by 'casually' mentioning in post game remarks that she 'might' have a 105 inch wingspan.
-- Doris loves our Huskies, so most of us love her right back. But, ... Doris remains confused about Stewie's "wingspan," reporting it within the same games alternatively as '7 foot 1,' as '71 inches,' or 'the wingspan of a player 7 foot 1' [we won't insult your intelligence listing what that last figure is supposed to mean, .. since, of course, everyone had to memorized the "Human Wingspan by Height Tables" back in the 4th grade, and you probably still have one on your refrigerator].
-- While you or I might simply check the media guide, or knock a couple times on the Media Manager's door, Doris is normally too busy prepping before the game, focusing instead in brushing up on her conjugation of 'to comport.'
Or...
D. None of the Above: (Explain below. Show all math).
