Welcome to Aubrey Griffin and Jordan Horston!

[Charliebball]

I was sharing a cup of coffee with the owner of my local G & A store today when a big, tall, very western fellow came in looking for some esoteric gunsmithing (went right over my head) and he said , passing the time as his question got researched, just to pass the time that he and his brother had gone on a guided priarie gopher hunt for 2 days in the Dakotas. Didn't know you could pay some one to gopher hunt. Getting to the point - he said the guided trip included dinner at "the best Italian restaurant in the state" and he said it was terrible, with lurid details. So I had to ask him if he knew of a good Italian restaurant within 200 miles of where we were sitting. Then we all enjoyed a good laugh.

cooking Italian food is hardly rocket science..............if you have the right ingredients and even the most basic cooking skills you'd think anyone can make an acceptable meal yet I've had some pretty crappy Italian food......... even in Italy............

I make a pretty passable marina sauce and a very passable shrimp scampi, so I heartily concur.

Coco Husky. Love you too . Since allot of this thread has turned into a post about food, I guess SNY will now have a Geno Cooking Show after every home game . (First show will feature Geno and AEH cooking up some Mississippi Short Ribs and Tape Errasure Pie)

I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Have your comments regarding Aubrey, Coach Ricci, Geno and UCONN also been removed?

 

[MilfordHusky]

AEH was not living up to Geno's standards. Unclear if it was academics or work habits or what.
But I would not say we have no clue as to what happened.

It was academics and more, including team rules.

AEH was da best

A buddy of mine & I saw AEH her senior year. We left thinking she’d never play more than 2 years at UCONN.

Well that would have blooz wouldn't it; but I guess Geno blooz that plan out of the water.

To each his own. Were you stationed in Germany? To me nothing is more disappointing than waking up in your German hotel room and going down to the restaurant for breakfast, to be greeted by a buffet featuring all the makings of a bologna sandwich on dark, hard, dry bread. They do get the beer right, though. I went to the opening ceremony of the Munich Oktoberfest once - what a party!

12 years in Germany and 4 in The Netherlands. Went to 2 Oktoberfests, just remembered about the soft pretzels with mustard, now my mouth is watering.

My guess is Horston's mom.

Thank you.

My guess is Horston's mom.

Mine as well. Her mom's first name is Malika.

I agree with you on that. I like to cook lasagna, chicken cacciatore, veal scalopinne with noodles, plus some other European foods, many of them I learned while working at Bruno's in West Lafayette, IN back in the 70's.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Indeed, Mali is Jordan's mom. Her posts include the home visit with Coaches Geno and Shea, some things at Africentric High, Jordan playing in the U-17 tourney, and info on Haley and other teammates from USAB.

Long lasting memories!!

SARGE: get OUT!!!! BRUNOS???!!!!!! Ate pizza there every Sunday night for a few years while doing some grad work out there. Tales to tall and to hear, I'm sure.

Exactly, this is one of things that I like the most about UConn! At other schools it is routine for them to put out the promotional photos of any and all recruits in full uniform. At UConn, you EARN the right to wear that uniform, through blood, sweat, and sacrifice!

When I was a kid growing up just south of Pittsburgh , our local hangout was a pool hall. Just pool... nothing else. Well ,the old Greek guy that owned it did clean and block hats,too. There was a duck pins bowling alley upstairs for the old men. That place, Nick's Pool Hall, was the first step on the road to degradation , so to speak.

That's Trouble my friend. Trouble with a capitol "T", that rhymes with "D" and that stands for Duck Pin Bowling.

Actually I believe they are the opposite. Short and stout vs tall and thin. Vs normal 10 pin.

oh I get it...........they had both of those in a bar up there..............almost full length lane.........much more fun and much less work then real bowling.............

In the early sixties, ten pin lanes were just being built, and midnight bowling was all the rage. The old men, like my dad and uncles, belonged to duck pin leagues and there were several alleys in our little borough. We brats could make a little money setting pins as the duck pin lanes did not have pin setting machines. You had to move fast and hope the old farts weren't so drunk that they tossed the ball early. I do not think there are any duck pins lanes still operating in the town now. I do not pretend that those days were the "good old days" of popular sayings, but they were ours!
