This thread is to appreciate our mods, DD, DavidinNaples, etc.
You do a great job.
This forum is a delight. With our love of women's basketball and UCONN in particular, this place provides us with an outlet for our passion.
Thank you so much for all that you.

Remember that Genoism: We got Diana?
I always think: We got Ken.
TOB can: Piss Off.

Yesterday, I found myself so suddenly bereft of basketball discussion (having read all of the Tenn and ND boards) that for the first time since I left nearly 3 years ago I looked in on TOB. I started reading some threads and my first thought was: wow. so much content. But in a few minutes, I closed the link. The tone is so very weird over there. People are guarded or clipped or whatever. Here, there is so much more openness, so much more mutual support.
So, yes: thank you to the mods and all who make this an incredibly open and joyous place to hang.

I just came to this forum because I couldn't take that one any more, specifically the constant nagging about the rules. I never even contributed anything there; it was just frustrating because the most interesting and funnest content always got locked or deleted.
I have so many WBB things I need to get off my chest, maybe I will get to them at some point: Speculation (about anything), talking about ridiculous fake eyelashes / tattoos / whatever Kim Mulkey is wearing, the relative merits of Kerith Burke, Justine Ward, and Maria Marino, and so much more.

All, I try to write a Stats Don't Lie piece for Doggy Daddy every night, during the season. It is a labor of love, and I appreciate all the kind comments. We all love UConn and the great young ladies that play for Geno & CD. What I do is a fraction of DD's effort every night and Chappie's work to keep us in line. Ken, Bulkey, Swash and all the rest make the effort so worthwhile..!! D in N P.S. - Special shout out to my favorite, ChicagoGG..!

This is a labor of love as well. We are small, but we are loyal and tolerant of each other (mostly). That makes it easy.

I really appreciate the kind words.
I love the fact that I have a writing staff now!
Between David and Phil my blog has improved in content!
Every day during the season I sit at my laptop and wonder how the hell am I going to fill my blog with enough content.
Then I check my messages here and I just smile when I see I have one or two.
It’s David and Phil to help me out!
Then I look at the posts here and always see links and videos I can use. I go to TOB and do the same.
I start writing and before you know it, it’s a couple of hours and the blog Is pretty much done.
I wait until the games are done, add links for that and UConn content and....
BAM.....I have a blog to publish. Well, of course if my daughter sends me a good picture or two of the kids I add them.
I figure I spent around 300-400 hours this season blogging.
I wish I got paid by the hour...lol.
But all your thanks are good enough for me.
DD

Welcome aboard! Look forward to your thoughts on all the above. Please try to be kind to Justine haha.

I wonder if anyone else remembers when Stef wanted to dye her hair purple and Chris told her, "NO!"

Bulkey the best!
You know, my buddies who happen to be philosophers, as in Ommergang Three Philosophers, help me reflect that we would have decimated either AZ or Stanford if Stef was with us. But that ship has sailed. And man that ship was like the USS Nimitz.
