Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3958493, member: 6620"] Kim, Geno, Muffet, Dawn, etc. are all very strong leaders who have distinctive personality traits: Some of which are admired, even revered; some of which not so much. One of the things, I believe, you can't get after is MM's setting out to play strong schedules. Your team only gets better by playing tough opponents. That has a ripple effect on conferences such as the ACC. Now Coach Mulkey is hardly known for packing her early season schedule with such opponents ("who are these teams?" to phrase Butch Cassidy), but she does drop in some mid-season toughies. In the long run, I think it will be good for the SEC (darn it), as Kim presses Dawn and the entire conference. We'll see how younger coaches at Georgia and Tennessee (and Vandy, now?) respond to those two leaders pushing the envelope, along with the constant inventiveness of Gary Blair. Should be interesting. BTW, the band will play on at South Bend and Storrs as UConn and ND resume their rivalry. It can only help Niele and her charges to go up against one of the best. [/QUOTE]
