South Carolina sure made a statement in the second half…

First half between Texas and South Carolina was pretty even as expected…. Couldn’t ask for a good first half…

Ovi scored his 40th of the season against the Blackhawks… 893rd goal currently in his 1486th game… Gretzky had 894 in 1487 games… One to tie…

https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/44531899/elena-delle-donne-listens-body-announces-retirement Two-time WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne has retired from basketball, saying her body "seemed to make this decision before my mind accepted it" in an Instagram post. Delle Donne won a WNBA title with the Washington Mystics in 2019 but was hampered by multiple back surgeries and did not play in the league in 2024. "One of my favorite children's books asked, 'How did it get so late so soon?'" Delle Donne wrote in her post. "I have asked myself that over and over again in the process of coming to the decision to retire from playing basketball. Being able to say that out loud was one of the hardest parts of my career. My body seemed to make this decision before my mind accepted it but I now truly know this is the right thing for me at the right time." Delle Donne was drafted by the Chicago Sky in 2013 and pushed for a trade to the Mystics after the 2016 season. She won the 2019 title with Washington while playing with three herniated disks. But she didn't play in the 2020 season in the COVID-19 bubble in Bradenton, Florida, and was limited to three games by back issues in 2021 before playing 25 games in 2022 and 23 in 2023. She missed the 2024 season after deciding not to sign a one-year supermax offer from the Mystics. Delle Donne, 35, won the WNBA MVP award in 2015 and 2019, becoming the first player to receive the honor with two different teams. She was a seven-time All-Star and a four-time All-WNBA first-team selection over her 11 seasons. She played college basketball at Delaware, where she was a two-time All-American and led the Blue Hens to the Sweet 16 in 2013. "Words cannot adequately express how thankful I am to my family, all of my incredible teammates, friends, executives, sponsors, staff and most importantly the amazing fans that have accompanied me on this journey," Delle Donne wrote. "This game has been my life and I am grateful for the memories and how much it's given me. It feels good to close this chapter knowing I gave it my all and I can't wait for what's next!" Delle Donne averaged 19.5 points and 6.7 rebounds in 241 regular-season games. She played in 40 postseason games, where she averaged 17.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists. She retires the league's career leader in free throw shooting at 93.7%. She will serve as a special advisor to Monumental Basketball, part of the company that owns the Mystics and Wizards. "We'll miss her on the court. But we're glad she'll still be with us, shaping the next chapter for Monumental Basketball and all we're building," Monumental Sports & Entertainment chairman and CEO Ted Leonsis said in a statement. "Elena's impact has been immeasurable, and we're eager to see how she'll keep pushing the game, just in a different way."

Yes that is mostly true but there are some in the WNBA that are married to men…. And not tranny men…. Real men that were born that way…

Going to be heading to my daughter's master's graduation in May and the dog will becoming with us on the car trip... She is a very nervous and anxious mutt, with a majority of her being an American Staffordshire Terrier... We have been looking into backseat hammocks with a hard base, but can't decide on it... Does anyone have any experience in these for their car? She is around 50 pounds and as I said, gets very anxious and nervous when in the car on short trips around town... I have looked at ratings and always read the one-star reviews to see what pissed people off and that just is deterring... Any help would be appreciated... TIA

Skin color doesn’t bother me…

As I have said many times before, when you have a close family friend that played varsity in high school as a freshman and became the leading scorer in the school’s history (both boys and girls) and went to about 60-70 games over her career, one tends to enjoy it more… But if it helps you to get through your insecurities, feel free to attack…

She is a lesbian…. She was married to her in 2017…

Oh, crap on a cracker…. I am so sorry Mung for the mistake…. I just saw the icon “M” and assumed it was Mookz… So thank you Mung for the Prozac suggestion…

Yeah my wife and I have discussed that a lot…. My daughter’s roommate drugs her cat when she goes home on an eight hour car ride… Thanks Mookz Mung…

Thank you to everyone that gave serious answers and a F**k you to the assmunchers that replied (and you know who you are)… Filling in the missing information, my dog is 4.5 years old and is a Velcro dog…. She had another dog with her, but she had to be put down a year ago…. Since she was added to our family, I have always been WFH (or looking for work), so that is the main reason for her being that… Because of that, we know that she would not be great in a kennel (she is also not in a crate at home)…. Others have mentioned staying at home and have people come over…. That isn’t a possibility because even when my kids come home from college in consecutive weekends (for example), she doesn’t warm up to them for at least six hours…. Having someone come over to take her out and feed her would not be simple at all for them… Because of this and the length of time that we will be gone, her coming along is the only reasonable choice, thus the questions…

She was fun to watch…. It’s a shame she couldn’t go out on her own terms instead of the body forcing her to hang them up…

Ugh…. What a start…

I am pulling for UConn…. Mainly because I would like to see Paige get her title…. Plus a family friend used to play with Azzi Fudd in travel ball…. I never met Fudd obviously but I would like to see them win for the friends sake… I have nothing against South Carolina, but there is something that Dawn Staley does that just rubs me the wrong way…. I am not a fan of Texas either, but that is just mainly them in the Big 12 with WVU before they left… So Texas and UConn with UConn winning the title…

Again LOL…

LOL Caitlin’s thread will be bumped during the season…. But it might make more sense to start a new thread to keep them separate…

GAME NIGHT!!

Should be two good ones tomorrow night… (1) Texas vs (1) South Carolina, 7pm ET (1) UCLA vs (2) UConn, 30 minutes after completion of the first game Games are on ESPN/ESPN2…

Yeah was thinking about that as well… Thanks…

This thread didn’t age well…

Good call on Hey, Jude…. One of the worst songs ever recorded…

Or swallowed…

This one is great… Chris Knight: So, if there's anything I can do for you - or, more to the point, *to* you - just let me know. Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your ? Chris Knight: Not right now. Susan: A girl's gotta have her standards. ———— Chris Knight: Have you ever seen a body like this before in your life? David Decker: She happens to be my daughter. Chris Knight: Oh. Then I guess you have
