LOL. When I was traveling to London a few years ago, someone told me that if I wanted to experience a good meal while in England, to “eat a lot on the plane.” Not far wrong, really. But here’s another wise bit: The best food in England is often found in locally owned pubs. After a few days, I became a regular visitor to the pubs. Shepherds pie, bangers and mash, and many other delights.

Until recently, traveled to London 5-8 times per year. Can't speak to rest of England, but London's food dramatically better the past 10-15 years. Can compete with most European cities, excluding Paris.

London is just filled with immigrants. The food is better, largely because the cuisine is so international there. Gordon Ramsay’s food is VERY good.

nothing on either of their twitter pages....I know UConn really dials the hoopla down so it's not unusual to see/hear anything for a couple of days...

You certainly will not see photos of the young ladies on the internet in UConn uniforms until 1st night next season....:cool:

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!

Since you quoted my post , I want to apologize to you for any offense you may have taken. My post was a reference to another thread in which there was mention of a silent verbal commitment from a prospective recruit. The oxymoronic aspect is the pun. There is no other intent, and what you see is only in your eyes. If you take umbrage with the post to which I was replying , feel free to lecture that Boneyarder. You generally put a lot of thought into your posts, and I rarely disagree with your ideas. I hope that can continue to be the case.

Sorry if my response personally appeared to come down on you. There were quite a few of these comments by a number of different people.
I have less patience/ tolerance for this now in light of what's going on and is so important to our country and its future.
I apologize as I truly wasn't directing the brunt of this at you personally.

Thanks. I share your concern for "what's going on and is so important to our country and its future".
 
Ok, it's Saturday night and still no word. How many of you are inching closer to the ledge? Come on, fess up! ;)

I'm really not expecting much to come from this weekend.............it's a fact finding mission and it appears that both recruits may be seeing it out to the end.............of course if Geno & Co could close a deal or two I certainly wouldn't complain...........

On Dangerfield Snapchat the team was hanging out with Kyrie Irving at someone’s home (Geno’s probably).
Expand ...
Kyrie was on Geno's first Podcast. He's close with Sue Bird. I'm thinking the recruits will be impressed. Pheesa can talk about playing with Diana in France, and Lou can talk about hanging out with Kobe.

Think we're gonna have to wait until October or November for all four targets to publicly commit.
Expand ...
I think some may commit earlier than that. Houston seems to be on a quick timetable, and Aubrey will visit the last of her 4 schools over the next 2 weeks. Boston won't visit until at least late October. She may be the last to announce.

To cast stones at a whole HS and program, is just inappropriate and wrong.

I created a trend out of two data points only because one player until her senior year did not play to expectations and AEH just boogied on down the road without clue as to why. And don't tell me you did not have higher expectations for Chong. I don't "signal" or lay it between the lines. I lay it between the eyes and ears.

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.

Totally agree! The best restaurant in every country, city, etc., is the best Italian restaurant there. Of all the European countries I've been to, Italy is far and away the best for food. Spain a distant 2nd, and both are WAY ahead of France. (England and The Netherlands in a dead heat for last. If I had to choose I'd give it to England, with The Netherlands getting honorable mention for most boring.)

I'm sorry but I rate German food just above Italian, schnitzel's, bratwurst's, rolladen's, twice cooked fries, then the pastries and breads, with a good Pilsner or Bock beer. Don't get me wrong I love Italian, grew up eating good Italian food, even worked in one of the best in Central Indiana. After being stationed in Europe for 16 years, German food wins out in my opinion.

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!

If you have to say "I'd rather not guess at your motives and underlying issues," then it is because you are the one who must always have "motives and underlying issues." Accept the fact that I created a trend out of two data points only because one player until her senior year did not play to expectations and AEH just boogied on down the road without clue as to why. And don't tell me you did not have higher expectations for Chong. I don't "signal" or lay it between the lines. I lay it between the eyes and ears. You may let your imagination run wild with my so-called motives and issues but for me this is just about sports. For me their are far more important things to concerned about. I worked with a Scot who used to say "piss off."

You seem to have forgotten that Chong played injured her entire 3rd year. As for as AEH leaving "without a clue as to why", I don't remember the last UConn player or many in all of wcbb who have plainly stated why they transferred. It's always been conjecture.

ps - Coco Husky, please don't continue to bring up my comments regarding Geno and Dan Ricci (Ossining HS Coach), as it related to AEH, since all of the comments from Geno and Dan have been removed from the internet.
Expand ...
I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it. :eek: Have your comments regarding Aubrey, Coach Ricci, Geno and UCONN also been removed?

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.
