Wow you guys are nice.

Nicely said State Fan. I'm glad to see I am not the only MSU person who appreciates the wisdom and class on this board as well as the overall appreciation for women's basketball. There aren't many places online to discuss and read about the sport so that's what brought me here, and I would be here today even if UConn won last night.

It's true that SEC football is brutal. I love it, fall Saturdays are like heaven as 2 powerful program battle in a small, southern college town. However, the fan bases can also be brutal. Families can turn on each other and there is so much smack talking it borderlines on childish. It is great entertainment on the field and no one can deny SEC football is a religion but when the game are over, life goes on.

Thank you all/y'all for letting me post on this board. When I started I never imagined MSU would be one of those team to battle UConn in the FF. Your team, coach, and fans are the platinum level of women's basketball and it's a testament to how far MSU has come in a short time we can share the same stage. The Huskies will be back and will be as tough as ever.

As a State fan, I wanted to see what UConn fans were saying, and was really surprised. I guess I am accustomed to crazy SEC football fans. It makes me want to come visit Connecticut, maybe even move there.

On another note, y'all (southern coming out in me) had a great team this year for a rebuilding year. I'm pretty sure they will get on another roll of winning 100 games or more. Good luck next year.

I join with the other posters here in welcoming you to our humble abode or hang out. This is the place to be if you're a UConn fan, or a WCBB fan.

We're here year round. We keep abreast of other WCBB teams, and we welcome fans from all over the country. We've got Boneyard regulars from all over the country.
We're always interested in receiving news and observations from fans of other programs. We've got posters here that keep their finger on the pulse of WCBB across the country. Any breaking news in the world of WCBB, we get it here shortly after it breaks. We've got some news hounds here that rival Adam Schefter, Peter King and Jay glazer.
Thanks for dropping in. Don't be a stranger. :cool:
 
Sometimes we're nicer to visitors than to each other (LOL). I think Vic is very well liked and respected. Would rather have lost to you guys than many of the usual suspects. I just hope you win it all now.
 
Thanks for chiming in, Statefan. I've seen a lot of MSU this year, and I love watching them. I for one will be enthusiastically rooting for them tomorrow evening.

All y'all isn't used in that much of the South in my experience. South Carolina, for sure. I never heard it used in Virginia, and close friends from Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas are quite adamant that you is singular, y'all is plural. I use it that way since it's useful and unambiguous.

Other than in the phrase, "Y'all is singular, all y'all is plural," I've heard all y'all used exactly once.

Welcome aboard Statefan!

While the loss hurts, your team showed class and grace in the win. Vic Shaefer is a class act and I will be rooting for State tomorrow night.

Stick around. This place can be a lot of fun and a great wealth of women's bsketball knowledge and info.

Now I have tell my niece (SC grad and fan) that you are going to roast their bird tomorrow night!
 
Thanks StateFan - it was a tremendous game and Mississippi State deserved the win - I'll be rooting for your guys tomorrow...!!

"Wow, you guys are nice"

You haven't been around long enough. :cool:

And I also would like to chime in with my thanks. I think most of us here at the BY appreciate effort and excellence and Schaefer's teams have shown that since his days at Texas A & M. We also appreciate what it takes to build a winning culture seemingly out of whole cloth. State's win couldn't happen to a nicer man than Schaefer and better group of young women who represent all that we here at the BY love about WCBB. Now make no mistake we have our bunch of crazies and whiners here too, but don't let that stop you from coming back whenever you get a hankerin'. Good luck.

Jordy, I appreciate your sense of tact and understatement. :D

I've had someone say "Y'all" to me when I was the only person in the room. Kinda weird to me! In a room with other people, I don't have much of an issue with it.

For Buzzyboy, down south "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural, and "mom'n'em" is your whole family.

And for Statefan, if you ever come up north, "Youse" is singular, and "youse guys" is plural.

See how simple that is.

Just be wary down South, any time someone appends "Bless his heart" onto the end of a sentence, it means that person is about to do something that will not end well. It's like a special code that they all know down there. Seriously.

P.S. Please stay on the board. The more "foreigners" the better. And besides the ones Nan mentioned we also have Notre Dame, Baylor, and Maryland visitors, but they're all in mourning right now. It will pick up again.

Congrats on the big win!! Hopefully u guys can get the bigger one and seal the deal!! Gotta route for the dawgs!!

In Connecticut, it's a boat with two masts, with the mizzen mast aft of the rudder. Y'all come down for a ride on my yawl.

I think here on the Boneyard, the prevalent attitude is that we just plain got beat - no excuses. It was a great game. Couldn't ask for more - a buzzer beater to put the game away. So exciting, so happy for William, she and the Mississippi State fans will never forget the moment.

Good ketch.

Duke, Stanford, Rutgers, NC State, UCLA, Oregon State...um, I know I'm forgetting folks. Oddly enough, no one from the AAC.

Yeah there has been an ongoing USF thread promulgated by USFMB last couple years during the regular season.
 
This board is so welcoming, and UConn fans so knowledgeable, that I really think of the BY as the national board. As mainly a Texas fan, I didn't have a dog in last night's fight, but it was one exciting game. I do commiserate with UConn fans. Your players were obviously not having their usual stellar night. I don't know how you've done what you've done without more size. You're going to be even scarier next year, especially with Stevens. MSU's main core will be back, too.

On the subject of y'all, I don't know what I'd do without that word. I've never really heard y'all used to address a single person, unless the speaker is suggesting that there might be other people involved, too. "All y'all" is common and is just emphasizing the speaker wants to be inclusive. Using it as a possessive is common, too, e.g. "Did y'all have y'all's worst game last night?" I love New England and would live there in a second -- the blueness, snow, the history, the architecture. But I would miss the word y'all.

I grew up on the campus of MSU, that's right, Michigan State University. After yesterday's game, I have to admit there are now two MSUs in the nation, and no others!;)

You'd pick up "you guys" or "youse guys" (in New Jersey) pretty quick. Besides, we've got fresh lobster and the best pizza in the U.S.

We have a comparable derivative. It's not too difficult to learn. It's "you all." Not as common as y'all in the south, but it works. Just don't use it down there where you are or you'll be forced to move up here where we are. :cool: :rolleyes:
 
Can you tell your fellow MSU fans that this game was not a top 10 all-time upset? I understand it was a top 5 game for MSU, but it is not a huge upset. MSU has been ranked highly all season, if I am correct.

As I said, I am glad to have our streak ended by the at least somewhat more humble people of Starksville, instead of Baylor, Notre Dame or other hotshot schools.

We try to win with class......And though we don't lose that often , we lose with the same class and grace.

Good luck to you guys in the championship game.

You can also choose to tell them nothing, especially this, which will certainly dampen their Joy.
@Butch is right this was not Top 10, it was Top 5- enjoy it.

They should be glad people acknowledge they have a formidable team. That's not dampening, it's called respect. I never said Mississippi State has no chance.

Ease down on trying to judge one's intents.

I'm not judging your intent, that's impossible. I'd disagreeing with your words.
