I guess great minds think alike!Any anxiety I had about the outcome of the game has gone away with the news that Carolyn Peck is picking South Carolina because she is an IDIOT! I can't fathom what kind of dirty laundry she has with ESPN that she is a sports commentator after all the mindless blather that she continually emanates! She is so totally clueless, it's downright scary!
In a more informed comment, Carolyn advised that the type of heals Mulkey is wearing actually make it easier on your knees when you crouch (sideline coaching position)
Of course the commentators are not going to affect the outcome of the game but to me there is something "comforting" about Peck picking SC.....Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't understand why it's a big deal that she picked South Carolina. It's not like the commentators are going to affect the outcome of the game if they pick one team over the other.
ESPN is making sure that there are eyeballs on the TV set for the game tomorrow. If everyone picked UConn, a lot of folks might figure there's no point in tuning in to see how the game turns out.
Besides, have people forgotten Peck's resume?
1. Player at SEC school Vanderbilt
2. After graduation, assistant coach at SEC school Tennessee
3. After leaving UTenn, assistant coach at SEC school Kentucky
She's an SEC homer.
Definitely an SEC homer but to be fair her best work was outside the SEC. She did win a national championship at Perdue in '99. The record of that '99 Perdue team is shaping up eerily similar to this year's UCONN team. That team's only lost of the season was a 1 point loss at Stanford and they won every other game by double digits including the championship over Duke.
It's not like Carolyn Peck came into Purdue and turned around a nothing team. She was coach at Purdue for 2 years and when she came in, inherited a team that had been ranked #23 the year before she arrived. Purdue won the championship with players recruited by Lin Dunn and Nell Fortner (Ukarki Figgs, Stephanie White & Katie Douglas). Maybe she's a good coach, I don't know - she didn't coach all that long, but it's not like she's some kind of coaching genius who drops pearls of wisdom when she speaks.Definitely an SEC homer but to be fair her best work was outside the SEC.
