I’ve officially joined the 21st century, not to mention every pimply-faced teen-ager that walks by my house with his pants around his knees and his eyes on my wife.
I have a blog!
Let me give you an idea what my goal with this space is: provide some of the best, up-to-the-minute information on the UConn men’s basketball and football teams _ plus, some of the worst, out-of-date pop culture references you can imagine.
I’ll try and steer clear of giving you stories about travel delays but I make no promises if US Air loses my luggage with the lucky blue shirt.
For starters, we have some ho-hum news from basketball practice Monday.
* Coach Jim Calhoun missed the workout Monday evening to attend the funeral of a family member.
* Associate head coach George Blaney, filling in for Calhoun and meeting with the media, says the Huskies are starting to “get it.”
“It’s always a question of when a team gets it. That’s the thing we’re all searching for with each team: how do you get your team to get it?” Blaney said. “This team, I think, is starting to get it.”
* Guard Jerome Dyson missed most of Monday’s practice because of back spasms. It’s only the latest of the sophomore’s scrapes and he’s expected to play.
“I always expect Jerome to be fine,” Blaney said. “I asked him if he needed an ambulance to go home tonight but I expect him to be ready.”
Dyson fell hard at Notre Dame _ I know, he’s always doing that _ and appeared to hurt his left wrist. After, however, he said he’s fine.
“He’s such a tough kid that even when he’s hurt, he’s going to play full out and give you the kind of effort you want,” Blaney said. “It’s kind of been a constant all year. He’s had a little bit of back spasms. It’s one of about six or seven different injuries that he’s played with all year.”
