Well, we all DO get withdrawal...but IIRC we compensate by making future predictions, adding provocation and perplexingly wide ranging topics....in other words, business as usual here....thank heavens the Boneyard never closes for the offseason!

BY keeps going, 'tho it does tend to wander even further afield. More chatter about the WNBA, recruiting, other women's sports, including softball, golf, tennis, and general silliness.:p

We oncehad a 15 page thread about pizza, hamburgs and ice cream during the summer. And, summer is the time we host our annual Lurker Day, when only those with less than 75 responses can post. We do that to encourage new or infrequent posters to get involved with the board without having to fear being intimidated, outshouted or otherwise inhibited.

Threads about next years (and the following years,) starting lineups will start April 10. Maybe late April 9th. :rolleyes:

Questions like "Who is the most ________ (fill in the blank) ever to play at UConn become heated discussions.

UConn's all-defensive (many other adjectives) team will get posters like me out of my dormant state.

And of course, the off-season cannot be complete without a few threads about the Evil Empire.

Which evil empire? The old one or the one we are playing on Sunday??

Ha. Probably both. But now that you mention it, the green evil empire will replace the yellow orange one.

The board was rather active last summer because of the Olympics and the international competitions our incoming frosh participated in. It will be quieter this offseason. But not dead.

I remember the Soda Pop thread, and the favorite summertime drink thread..... I must have missed the thread about pizza, hamburger, and ice cream. Sounds like my kinda thread :D

Congratulations, I believe you are the first to ever quote Helen Reddy on the BY. Some of the old timers might need to correct me though.
