Gonzaga. An undefeated team. A team that has been an absolute machine all season, and they lose by 16 in the championship game. Hey! All in all, not a horrible loss compared to this in 2016: UConn 82 - Syracuse 51.
My point? Stop whining and complaining. Jeez the ONO complaints alone are enough to make me nauseous. Maybe what we see with her is her doing her absolute best. You want ONO to be Steff? Stewie? Not gonna happen. If her best isn't good enough for you, maybe the problem isn't ONO, maybe it's you.
Why did Gino recruit her in the first place? Maybe he did HIS best to get a player to help the team and that was the best HE could do. If his best isn't good enough for you.........well you can figure out the rest for yourself.
Me? Here's how I feel: Thanks Coaches and players for a wonderful season and a HUGE distraction from the miserable covid and politics pervading the past year.

I think Liv can be at least as good as Stef was in both their senior years.
And I agree completely, the problem has never been Liv. It's always been me. At least that's what my friends say...

Really like your post. But please, it's really not hard to spell Geno's name right. |

DD: "Really like your post. But please, it's really not hard to spell Geno's name right."
And is there a lesson to be learned from that? Like don't drink wine and post? I'm not going to bother to correct my typo. It's not necessary to ruin a good rant with a spelling correction.

Actually, Luigi is Geno's given name, and, because of the "i" at the end, that's just as often shortened to Gino as Geno.
The former female governor of RI is Gina

Are you referring to me? I've been here for years - rarely posting.
BTW - not that it's pertinent: I was 'nanned' years ago on TOB. I left and I've never been back. Ever. And I was 'nanned' not because of a post I made but because of something more personal between Nan and her site owner. I walked away.
Superfan? Well, I am a fan. And I support UConn WCBB whether they win or lose. I'm not blind to their game mistakes but it won't change the way I feel.
And BTW, if I was a "new guy" here, I would like and expect a warm welcome.

I'm still diligently working on my patent issues with my hydraulic Johnny Knoxville Tennessee nose-picker, but it's a work in progress with virtually no progress!! I was; unfortunately, self-testing it and I've broken my behemoth nose twice already?? Damned diamond-tipped shovel can put a hurting on a person!!  |

Hey--if you're posting from the continental U.S., I'm just really impressed you were drinking wine in the morning or early afternoon. Or maybe you just haven't stopped drinking since the UConn-Arizona game.  |

Or maybe you just haven't stopped drinking since the UConn-Arizona game. I thought I made it clear where I live: I'm in Stewie's backyard. It's a speed run on the Thruway to the Masspike and down 91 to Storrs. And I enjoy a nice CabSav - or two - for lunch (while I post.) And yeah I needed a couple watching our game. But I'm getting over it.
As you can see, I'm a little tender about the team criticism. Easter is a time of Renewal. These bad vibes will Passover the true believers. So be patient and be kind to one another.

A fan, short for fanatical supporter, is all about team first. A superfan is a "fan of the game" and/or a fan of individuals over team. They hate criticisms of refs, opposing teams, opposing coaches, opposing players, opposing fans and individuals in general, including individual players and coaches on our team. Recency has nothing to do with it. Are you a fan of our team or a fan of the game or a fan of "the girls". Geno has said it a million times. It is all about the team. And he has been his own biggest critic over the years. And he doesn't treat the players like daughters, grand daughters or girls in general. That is why he is a champion.
