Muffet Tweet

[oldude]

Well the crowd there was electric....

 

[Shades]

Can someone more twitter-y than myself explain the use of the coffin emoji by Sue and Swin?

Urban Dictionary: I'm Dead

 

[BobbyJ]

That's right. Part of the reason for that is the sounds (conspiracy?) of silence by the so-called pundits of WCBB. Not a peep from Rebecca, Kara, Chiney, Mechelle, LaChina or Debbie on the elephant in the room. They watched the game. They've seen the videos. Surely they know about the flagrant in the Oregon State game. A simple "there's no place in the game for that" would have been appropriate seems to me.

Oh well.

I doubt that any of them will step up. They're all part of the WBB sorority that share info, interviews etc. None will want to be the outlier or lose access to McGraw and her program. Their mantra will be "We're moving on".

 

[CL82]

I'll say it again.....teams take on the personality of its coach. Or......the leaf seldom fall far from the tree. Take your pick.

Or I said earlier in this thread "The fish rots from the head down..."

 

[Plebe]

Ooooooo, and Jewell has officially taken a side:

 

[LoTrader]

I went back to the Vancouver Showcase video and watched the AO elbow launched into the throat of OSU's Janessa Thropay who set a screen on AO. Here is the screenshot from the video. AO's elbow was raised far above AO's head (AO was clearly headhunting). It is way more obvious when you see the whole video feed. Janessa Thropay dropped to her knees immediately, and the ref standing there did nothing. Apparently, this is OK, if you get dusted by the player you are supposed to be guarding.

BTW, whoever was the HOMER ND Announcer, he kept mispronouncing every OSU player's and Coach Rueck's name. A real pro (NOT).

 

[BobbyJ]

Dead as in laughing hysterically.

Or dead as in they're chuckling at Stewart being out or dead to McGraw.

Ooooooo, and Jewell has officially taken a side:

wow! didn't expect her to chime in...haha. This is turning out to be a great day. Hope this helps with our recruiting

 

[Carnac]

I like that.

 

[ABCDFE]

... and it's nice to see some non-UConn players jumping in on the fun:

I wish DT would chime in. She would have classic response...

It seems like everyone is chiming in today, shooting from the hip, and they’re not wearing gloves.

Well I just listened to LaChina's Around the Rim podcast. She and her guest Brooke Weisbrod discussed the game and ended with a discussion of the Arike technical. Brooke was on the other side of the court (attending with a former ND player) so didn't hear what was said. Still, she assumed Geno's comments were directed at Arike (not the Ref) and blamed both sides. No mention of Arike's flagrant foul or the non-call. Gee, do you think that was what Geno was complaining about?

LaChina also failed to mention the fouls and said Arike saying something wrong is out of character (in other words blame Geno).

 

[FedupFred]

Time to recruit Bam Bam 2

 

[Carnac]

9 pages of UConn fans bashing Muffet after winning the game is pretty pathetic. I shudder to imagine what would have been written had UConn lost!

Well......what can I say? It’s a slow news day in wcbb. We’ve got to have something to talk about, and right now, Muffet and Arike are low hanging fruit. It is what is.

I think these types of podcasts are not going to go wildly Un PC so i think the responses are what they are. Deep down everyone will have an opinion about what happened who are not ND or UCONN fans. I believe most will obviously be siding with UCONN from the flagrant fouls perspective, but to be honest, I really don't think Geno did anything wrong other than what most coaches do, which is to point out something that is happening on the court to the ref. Now if this topic was handled on lets say sports talk radio (which it won't) like the WFAN in the NY area, i can see lots more passionate responses.

No surprise. I don't take any of them seriously anyway.

One of my favorite responses to Muffetgate:

Blocking Stewie is like filling your Christmas chimney with coal so Santa can't get down the chute.

Jewel doesn’t follow most of MM, NDWBB, or other significant ND players on Twitter. Seems like someone was a bit mad Jewel left early

Jewel also praised Geno after attending US Team trials under him.

 

[JavaMan]

Glad all of this is happening. In the end, no one was hurt and it keeps the rivalry hot. That probably makes me a caveman, but so be it...

I resemble that remark! What are you implying???

 

[Shenandoah]

Muffet and team displayed an utter lack of class by not clapping/acknowledging Breanna when she won the POY award. People forget that.

No we haven't...

 

[UCBaller2012]

She was definitely mad Jewell left early and I don't think they left on good terms.

 

[Siestakeyfan]

Hopefully the attention that she gained nationwide Sunday has also got the attention of the NCAA and the officials that work women’s games. If I’m a referee, I’m watching her closely now and for the rest of the season.
She’s been doing little things that have gone unnoticed up to now. Hopefully those days are gone. She tried to undercut Dangerfield as she beat her on a drive to the basket. It was bang bang, but it was not hard enough to get the ref’s attention, but it was plain to see on TV.

She won’t get away with that type of play at the next level against grown adult women. They’ll put her in check real quick.

EXCELLENT !!! Injuries are VERY BAD !!!

 

[Siestakeyfan]

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Yikes a 1962 Grad !

@JavaMan Did you know your hat matches your tie?

In their building.

Against 11 + refs.

That Dancing with the Stars gig taught her alot of moves.

On the game thread I commented repeatedly on my disgust at his thorough unprofessionalism. Coach Rueck was rechristened as "Coach Wreck"

 

[huskeynut]

I didn't see but 2 on Danger, heard the announcers about the Geno thing.
If there truly is a multi-game pattern ND will be forced to do something.
Looking at the half time exploits of AO in the off season one would expect a kid to be full of themselves, that much TV/media exposure can be heady stuff.
Thanks--Nice way to disagree without being disagreeable--I like nice people, thanks.

Correct - only two on Danger. The other incident was on Williams. Williams drove past AO into the lane, jumped up for the shot. As Williams reached her apex, AO came in and undercut Williams, sending her to the floor. Didn't catch it live but it was clear on the replay.

We should always be able to have a discussion on our favorite topic and disagree agreeably.
