She won one national title. One. Luckily they didn't have to face UConn.

In the end they're recognizing WCBB. How can that be a bad thing??

She did put the school on the map nationally, you can't deny that.

She is also Naismith HOF, Naismith COY, and Naismith POY 2X
Anyone else you know have those credentials?

Gorgeous!!! ???

Another tremendous work from the sculptors. Rotblatt Amrany Sculptures | Bronze Statues & Famous Art Works

Not sure why DT ,Maya, Stewie, or Rebecca Lobo would be slighted by not having a statue erected at CLA.

Maybe Geno should hoist a championship SCar banner for 2017 out of solidarity.

I doubt the women mentioned in the title of this thread have given it a second thought.

Statue is A’ja, not Dawn

I have no problem with it BTW. My alma mater (Oklahoma) has statues of all its Heisman winners lined up outside the football stadium. It’s pretty impressive (to me, not to mention to recruits).

Why would they feel slighted?

 

[southofnorth]

This is great! I’m glad to see SC show so much love to it’s WBB program! As for the title.....I doubt any of them would feel slighted in the least. They’ve all worked to advance and elevate WBB. I’m sure they’re just fine with other great women being recognized for their accomplishments.

There's not enough bronze material in the state of CT to start building statues for UConn players!

i just hope they left room for statues of the sportswriters who voted South Carolina #1 last year.

 

[TC22]

Not sure why anybody gets so worked up at what SC does to highlight their WBB program. Florida and Alabama have statues of all of their Heisman Trophy winners. Do people complain? People moan and groan that women’s sports don’t get their due, but when a school highlights their program people moan and groan.

Did Maya, Stewie and Taurasi play at South Carolina?

Baffling obsession with a program that has won ONE title, celebrating its own.

Exactly the point. Thanks!

Who cares what South Carolina does to honor their athletes!

 

[enigmatic]

I admire that they did that. It simply shows honor and appreciation. I dont see why it would be an issue.

In times square there was a bust of the former Israeli prime minister Gold Meir . Every time I saw it , pigeons and pigeon sh&t were all over it. Never seemed to me, to be much of an honor.

Actually both Maya & Stewie played at South Carolina. Stewie had a pretty solid game there dropped 25 and 10 and had 5 swats. Was that statue worthy?

All kidding and digging aside, I think what Dawn Staley and the fans have built in Columbia SC is just fantastic. It wasn't that long ago when SC was a lame program. They went from bad to "on the rise" to competing for national championships (and, yes, hanging banners ) in a jiffy.
