Do you think it's photoshopped? She is really really tall otherwise. Well maybe we'll see her on the court today.

I think Saylor being a step or two forward of where the other players are in the back line, combined with the angle of the the camera being low to high gives the illusion that she is taller than she is. My nephew pulled this stunt on me two years ago to fraudulently claim he was taller than me and clearly wasn't and isn't.

Are you the nyhuskyfan that has posted for years on another site?? Alas, I am not. I am a poster there that got to about 60 posts and landed on a certain moderator's radar. My last two posts resulted in a 3 hour ban and then a 5 day ban. Her lack of personality or sense of humor (and for some reason her taking an instant dislike to me) have shown me that I have, nor want, any future over there. This is the message I got about my recent ban, "You have been banned for the following reason: Just too annoying." Welcome! Can I ask if you're serious that that was what Nan (the only female mod when I was there) wrote: that you were banned because you were too annoying. Seriously?

It looks photoshopped, but then, again, so does Anna's on the other side. I think it's just perspective. Actually, all the players look a bit too detached from their environment.
It's one of the worst aspects of digital photography: way too sharp. Why I still mainly shoot (and develop) film.

I literally copied and pasted the ban notice. That is it verbatim. Here is the entire message. "Oops! We ran into some problems. You have been banned for the following reason: Just too annoying. Your ban will be lifted on Feb 4, 2021 at 12:00 AM."

Don't like this guy. I think I'll give him the Control F-3 message.

So now when I go to the doctors and they measure me, I get on my toes to add an inch.

Too many cannot disagree without disparaging, but they sure can take offense at literally any BS. Here, your opinion is your own and respect is not just lip service.

What bothers me the most (I think...so many things) about TOB are the grammar police and the nitpickers. Are you a fan to say such a thing and on and on. Just a royal pain in the arse.

Whenever my kids used to correct my grammar I would ask "Did you understand what I said?". They would answer yes. And I would say "Then I effectively communicated".

I don't know how tall Poffenbarger is, but she looked fairly tall on the court. What impressed me is that she was in the game for 3 minutes and took 3 shots.

Postgame Paige said she had told Saylor to shoot every time she got the ball. I suspect that was cooked up between Geno and Paige. Paige also said that Saylor is a "really, really good shooter from pretty much everywhere on the court."

My wife says that she used to worry about getting weighed; now she worries about getting her height measured. Last June I went to my GPs office and his nurse measured my height and declared me 5'11" - that's a whole inch gone. I know it happens, but I think his equipment is bad. It was atypical equipment. Next time I go to my podiatrist I'll be looking for his equipment. I have enjoyed being 6 feet tall.

Chappy, your punctuation is all wrong. No need for the first period when there is a question mark in the quotation. And the final period should be inside the quotation marks. Please don't send me back to TOB.

You guys were right, she is tall but after seeing her live on the court she is not as tall as that picture led us to believe. However, a 6'2" guard with all round skills and a deadly outside shot are pretty nice to have. We're going to have 2 next season. Plus Azzi, who is a ++ by herself. Plus Amari. Is it great to be old and a Husky or what?

Is it great to be old and a Husky or what? We're going to have a true gaggle of guards (is it "gaggle" for guards? how about a "Buckingham Palace" of guards?) It's still consistency in the front court that's a problem. Just hoping that all three bigs (Liv, Aaliyah, and Aubrey) continue to mature.
