Our Uconn womens basketball team plays for it's 4th national championship in a row tonite. No team has worked harder than Uconn. There are things you see in their game that are never seen in the mens game. The patience, the unselflessness, the floor positioning and the extra 2,3,or 4th pass. What an awesome bunch of kids. Go Uconn!!

    Too Bad!

    They had to beat my Alma Mater-Oregon State University.  But I must say the Huskies were quick and out-hustled the Beavers.  Our gals were rushing their shots the second half and threw bricks.  And they couldn't get rebounds, either.

    4 in a row would be great for Uconn, if they win again.

    Go call PETA

    Those women played like animals.  It was a great game last night, even though UCONN had me a bit upset during the 3rd quarter.  They deserved to win by the way they played and came back even better in the 4th quarter.  And 4 National Championships in a row.  Wow is all I can say.

    For out beavs to be able to say they got beaten by the champs in the semis is an accomplishment on it's own.

    WAAAAyyyy before Title 9, I played BB at OSU.  6 on a team/3 guards on half the court/3 forwards on the other half/limited to 3 dribbles and then pass.  Guess what?  We weren't supposed to be physically fit and capable enough to play full court.  Glad someone made the powers that be change the rules.

    The other Huskies we usually have to deal with are from Udub (Univ. of Washington)  and they were also in the Semi's but got beaten by Syracuse.  Go West Coast Pac 12.

    March Madness

    There is nothing else that makes me more ignorant, alien and British, apart from my green card and the 4th July. Oh while we're on the subject, isnt it time changed the words of your anthem to something about kittens and flowers?

    Oh, and aii my colleagues are dead jealous that I saw the Harlem Globetrotters in the late 60's including Meadowlark Lemon and Curly.

    only kidding. I remember the '85 championship game against Georgetown like it was last night. Massamino used to say that he didn't like to watch videotapes of the game because he still thinks he's going to lose. The Big East was an awesome conference back then.

    Stomper-I still

    haven't figured out Cricket.  I was on a vacation with a bunch of Aussie's and New Zealanders, and I've watched it on TV (sort of).

    Now, I thought this board was for sharing thoughts, good or bad about life and cancer.  Well, sports are part of life and we'll share if we want to.

    Nyah, Nyah.

    Cricket is just like baseball with minor differences
    • You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
    • Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
    • When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
    • When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
    • Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
    • There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
    • Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
    • When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.

         I hope that clears things up for you

    Thanks Stomper! Now that you've explained all that I finally understand cricket.

    Yeah, right!

    Seriously, it didn't make my bucket list. :) I'm ok without cricket. But don't feel sorry for me. I'm also ok without baseball, football, or basketball. For that matter, golf, cards, even monopoly. I don't know why, but I'm just an anti-gamer. Been like that my whole life. But I'm so glad to see you guys talk about something you enjoy.

    Clear as MUD Footstomper

    What the heck!  Was that intentional?  hahaha  It's like the old Abbott & Costello "whose on first".

    Apparently you don't really want us to understand cricket.  That's ok, I still don't understand some things in football either.  Oh well, back to my sewing....Kiss
