Whipping, no. Just some bemusement.
I’d imagine they’d send at least one representative since it’s a pretty big category. On the Preview show Bryce Young confirmed that’d he be in attendance to represent Alabama for their nomination in the same category. Not sure if he was up for any other awards that will be included in the show tho.
I don’t disagree about the lack of representation of female athletes at such events. However, the ESPYs did say that the Best College Athlete, Women’s Sports category would not be included in the main show (actually both Best College Athlete awards-Men’s and Women’s Sports-were announced on the Preview Show instead) and for that reason they did not invite Aliyah Boston. Only Jocelyn Alo was invited out of the category because she has a few other individual and team nominations. Not saying it’s an acceptable situation but there was a reason for it.
Winner not announced during live show is why ESPN said nominees not invited. Same true of nominees for best male college athlete. Also, btw. Boston didn’t win the award. Jocelyn Alo won and she will be there tonight because her Oklahoma team is nominated for another award or two.
Not to people that are not football fans. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your fantasy may not necessarily also be someone elses. Not everyone looks at sporting events through the same lens.
All the games in the Best Game category are very worthy of winning. You have an OT NFL playoff game, a 2OT March Madness game to go to the Final 4, a 4OT Iron Bowl rivalry game, and a 16-pt comeback to win a national championship. Personally, I think it’s between the Chiefs/Bills game & the UConn/NC State game. Both high stakes and had the back & forth nature of every instant classic. Also keep in mind that a March Madness game won this award last year (Gonzaga v. UCLA in the Final 4 with Jalen Suggs’ half court buzzer beater).
I agree. It's a matter of growing the sport as well. This game did do that. This was the most watched women's Elite 8 game since 2006 and will rank as one of the greatest and most exciting women's or men's college basketball games ever. It was beautiful basketball with an incredible performance by Paige. You had everything, including a coaching mistake at the end in calling time out by NC State. Geno jumped on it and called his last time out consecutively. NC State now has no time outs and the ball is at mid court. They could have fouled if no steal, hope UCONN misses one of them, call time out and advance for a 3.
The only issue I had with the poster's comment was: "pretty obvious" chiefs vs bills will win game of the year. the BOLDED portioned. I was reminded by a "visitor" to the boneyard that my comment that "we all know" as part of a narrative I wrote was not correct. The "we all know" comment was meant for UConn fans only, but my narrative did not read that way. One must be careful in using words or phrases that are all inclusive.
Seldom is there a consensus.
I think the Arkansas games are like a model for her. After the loss two years ago, Paige criticized herself, saying if she’d started shooting right away they might have won. In the game this year, she didn’t score in the first quarter, and then torched them for 30+ points. She values getting the team involved, and that’s great. But she also must believe she can overcome any deficit if she has to — even if hard experience ought to teach her the opposite.
bills chiefs won easily, again football and wbb is not a comparison for viewers.The only issue I had with the poster's comment was: "pretty obvious" chiefs vs bills will win game of the year. the BOLDED portioned.

Pretty obvious to who? As I highlighted in my response, sports fans DO NOT all see sporting events through the same lens. Folks here in the yard can watch the same game and come away with different takes and opinions. An example of the is the BAD-ASS Awards after each game.
It is a stubborn defect in her thinking; about the only one. I'm sure there have been games that had Geno grinding his teeth.
Geno is not powerless in this. He can call specific plays to get Paige more aggressive
No whipping necessary. We’re here to share ideas. My main thought from the game is that Paige did what she did after coming off a major injury and while still being far from 100 percent.
