I will start out this thread by saying what on earth is taking so long with the release of the 23-24 BE schedule??? They released the men’s BE scheduled almost two weeks ago on Friday 9/15. It’s almost October now - this is annoying!

It looks like it's coming out tomorrow, and part of the delay appears to have been them rejiggering the schedule so that it's no longer a true double round-robin- each team has an opponent they will only face on the road and one they will only face at home.

THANKS I HATE IT except for the fact that I don't have to deal with Villanova fans this year.

I wonder why they're doing this. I suppose 18 league games gives teams the opportunity for a couple additional nonconference games, but the best thing about the Big East compared to the other power conferences is that they actually played a true round-robin schedule, so the final standings were fair.

I haven't looked at the entire set of who plays who, but the two teams Xavier (0-20 last year) gets to only play once are UConn and Villanova, which seems... not coincidental.

New Georgetown coach Tasha Butts has taken a leave of absence from the team to focus on her ongoing battle against breast cancer. I hate to see this -- I knew she'd received a pretty grim diagnosis a couple of years ago (while maybe working for Nell Fortner at Georgia Tech) and was hoping she had perhaps turned the corner.

This makes me so sad. Some of Pat's coaching tree has had awful luck with this...Nikki and now Tasha. We lost some others who weren't coaching to the same thing too, Melissa McCray (not related to Nikki) was one that hit me hard.

It's almost enough to make you think keeping all those corpses under the campus is a bad idea after all.

They have the Body Farm, located underneath the athletic complex. It’s for the study of decomposition over time, with varying environmental factors. A lot of ME students and researchers from around the world go there to observe / study the bodies.

You might recall Kathy Bates mentioning it in The Blind Side, in order to scare Michael away from playing for Tennessee.

The Body Farm is way SOUTH of there, not under the athletic complex. Just stop it!

Pilight was making a joke. UTK had the first body farm but there are now six others in the U.S., all at universities.

Ain't funny, MacG! We're quite proud of having the original Body Farm and we KNOW where it is!

That's where it is now. They used to stare bodies under the campus.

Not true and I don't know where you got that idea. Stay at UConn where you belong.

😂😂 I doubt you'll ever find pilight's body anywhere near UConn!

However....this thread HAS gone a bit off the rails Exclamation

Anyone not aware of how the Body Farms are used to solve murders should read The Body Farm, a book in the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. The families of a great many murder victims are eternally grateful that the original Body Farm was started by Tennessee.

Further, it is very sad that Pat and some of her players who've followed her footsteps into coaching have been cut down by medical issues. As the daughter of a mother who lived with Alzheimer's and as a breast cancer survivor, I feel these losses deeply.

I read a couple in the Kay Scarpetta series but not that one. I'll have to look into it.

I just checked, I read book 1, Postmortem, and book 2 Body of Evidence. The body farm book is book 5 so I'll work my way up to it

As mentioned elsewhere, Tasha Butts passed away. Terribly sad.

https://guhoyas.com/news/2023/10/23/womens-basketball-georgetown-athletics-announce-passing-of-head-womens-basketball-coach-tasha-butts.aspx

She just took the job in April so I'm assuming there must have been a significant downturn in her health since then. Georgetown will go with an interim coach for this season. I believe Kelly Mazzante is also on staff.

And I realize this is likely an administrative oversight, but the news release announcing the preseason poll this morning mentions Georgetown is under the direction of new head coach Tasha Butts. Ugh.

This is Georgetown we're talking about. There's a non-zero chance they're gonna try and claim they're communicating with her in Heaven via Ouija board and thus don't need to hire a new head coach.

(No disrespect is meant to the dead. All disrespect is meant to Georgetown.)
