Growing up in central Connecticut, where loyalty was split between NY and Boston, I tended to favor the NY teams. I’m old enough that the Patriots weren’t in existence until my later years of elementary school so the football Giants were the only option. At some point in high school, I was...

My wife and I have started watching the Lynx more frequently, primarily because they are closest to our home in Wisconsin. As a Conn fan I am of course really pleased with how Collier has been playing but my favorite on the team is Williams. I just find her determination and style of play to...

I start with haste followed by either flour or dying, depending on my mood and what the first word reveals. These 3 words use all the vowels and a chunk of the most common consonants. I used to use baste as the first word but did a little research and learned “h” is in more words than”b”.

And don’t forget Quordle and Octo

And don’t forget Quordle and Octordle!

I admire Staley, particularly her ability to speak proudly of her team, her school and to a lesser extent herself, without coming across as arrogant. I also like her advocacy for women coaches, especially women of color, without coming across as either being preachy or accusatory. Sending...

I might add that the Big East is changing up their scheduling starting, I believe, next year. It means each team will play two additional conference games. Makes OOC scheduling more challenging and critical.

No doubt you’ve seen the “way too early” projections for next year. Personally I think for college sports these are ridiculous if done before the portal window closes. But FWIW, at least one prognosticator has pegged Tennessee in the top ten.

I’d like to agree with you but I can’t. Think back to the 2023 tournament. UConn was completely flummoxed by Ohio State’s full court press and lost by double digits in the Sweet 16.

They also lose Aubrey Griffin who is actually the most athletic player on the team when fully healthy - which unfortunately hasn’t been the case the last couple of years.

Perhaps it will change but really good players will make more with NIL then what they’re going to earn playing in the W, even with the new contract, so I think most women players will stay in college until they graduate.

It’s called Basketball: A Love Story. (Subtitle Pat versus Geno). It’s listed as Episode 49 of season 1. It’s an ESPN+ program.

When I was on Hulu getting ready to record the semifinal games, I noticed some ESPN WCBB documentaries. One was on Pat and Geno. I’ve seen other shorter films on their relationship but this one impacted me more. I would be interested in knowing anyone who has viewed it what their reaction...

Agree not a great look but I don’t think how it’s being officiated is helping. Not a benefit to either side but makes for choppy watching.

Several years ago my brothers and I went to the regionals held at the University of Rhode Island, back when they didn’t have super regionals. It took us a really long time to get to the venue because of traffic tie-ups. Professionally I’ve organized large scale recycling collection events and I...
