I appreciate you hosting the General Forum and rarely say anything on the UConn home, but I have to say I had no idea y'all thought that til I joined here. The first time I saw it, I thought someone was making a joke.
While it is understandable with Kobe's and his daughter's death, and this error is frequently made by members of the press, she does not wear the braids out of admiration for Kobe at all. Though she may have gotten tired of hearing the mistake and just went with it. In an interview at the time of her commitment she stated the Lakers were very much her brother's favorite team and in memory of him (singular) she wore their colors. Adding Kobe or anyone else diminishes her brother's memory.
Of course Tennessee fans perpetually bring up that ESPN favors Geno and UConn. We all know the origin of that, eh.
LOL screw Tennessee in any sport. Go Gamecocks
Listen to them talk about UConn football. Never missed a chance to denigrate them.
Don't recall that being the case with respect to her parents, but why would their professional background matter? They could be a well-rounded family overall and it continues on in how Aaliyah conducts herself.
Even Dan O? He practically wears a UConn cheerleader outfit and waves blue and white pom-poms
Excellent point, and I never knew that! The press along with the sports commentators all jumped on the Kobe train, and treat the story as fact. Honoring only her brother's memory should be noted by all, front and center! Thanks for the inside scoop!
Even though the profession has declined shockingly in the past twenty five years, is it unreasonable that someone would expect teacher’s kids to be well spoken and articulate?
Just noticed the video copied in full above. It was suppose to copy starting at 3:20, for anyone else wanting a quick check.
Nothing better than a great "Fact Check"! Well done, RMB2.
They loved us when we’re in the Bottom 10. Always made sure to highlight us.
No, but is it unreasonable for someone's child to be well spoken and articulate without their parents being in the teaching profession? That's the point.
Too much hate out there. I'm glad ESPN does the games. I'd like to see more LaChina Robinson doing the games and less of some others. They drive me nuts with the endless promos of their other shows but that's business. I do think they need to use halftime to focus on analyzing the game they're airing and other women's games and not other sports.
