It's just a thing when a post and the picture you have over your name align. In this case the question of why RU wasn't getting respect seemed to go with Lou's shrug.Not sure what this means.
Ah, I get it now, so thanks for the explanation.It's just a thing when a post and the picture you have over your name align. In this case the question of why RU wasn't getting respect seemed to go with Lou's shrug.
Not the best example in retrospect.

I'm sorry to be right. Stanford will miss Smith next year, but their lineup looks loaded. Tara will figure out how to use the talent. I expect Stanford to win about 34 or so next year. If they don't, it may because of further improvement by Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, et al. Tara may have more wins than Geno for at least next year.On Dec 3 Milford Husky said the Haley Jones effect would the race to Pat close. Now, with Tara and her team turning on the afterburners this year there is no “may” about it.
Back in November looking at the Stanford schedule and the rankings I projected Stanford losing to the following teams during the season: Baylor, Oregon, Oregon State, AZ State(twice), Cal maybe once(remember their ranking then), and Tennessee(barf!). I also expected them to only go one or two deep into their conference tournament and only to the elite eight.
We all know what’s happened so far. Their win against Baylor was scary, especially in comparison to our loss(albeit on a very off night for us). We are lucky Gonzaga was able to ambush them. So I think Geno and the team will have to work hard to cut Tara’s lead in half this year.
As for next year, it should be quite a battle. Very possibly Tara will pass Pat before Geno can overtake her. As for the Jones effect, I believe as next year goes on we will see the “Griffin Effect” take over. As I said in another post a while back, Aubrey has only just begun her organized basketball career as compared to Haley and the other prospects/commits. Because of her still relatively large upside potential, I think she could end up better than my neighbor. So this and the the next and ensuing years should be fun to watch!
Utah

@vowelguy Thanks for updating this. But shouldn't Summitt, Foster and Selvig be in italics?
Oh, is italics just non-Div 1 coaches? I couldn't find a key.Nope. Look again.
yESDoes GA get the credit for the past two wins he didn’t go to?
If Stanford loses in the Sweet 16 and the Pac 12 semifinals, Geno could tie Tara by the end of this season if he hangs another banner. Both coaches are well positioned to have title contenders for years to come but lose AA seniors to graduation at the end of the year.Thru 3/6:

Stanford will play Washington in quarter final now. Looks like it will b a piece of cake ...If Stanford loses in the Sweet 16 and the Pac 12 semifinals, Geno could tie Tara by the end of this season if he hangs another banner.

Looks like Geno is not going to catch up w Tara this season, unless her team runs into Harvard in first round againThru 3/19:
** = still alive in conference tournament. All other teams awaiting NCAA/WNIT.
- Summitt . 1098
- Tara .. . 1036 + 28 =1064
- Geno .. . 1027 + 30 =1057 **

Both Tara and Geno can get to 1,098 late next year.
