Unless it gets knocked off of her head, I think it's her way of refocusing. It gets her back to her Happy Place.

and Diggins doesnt do it for "refocusing" or to get her back to her "happy place"?

I have class!!

That's more than many of us can say.

I never said Skylar didn't. I have also never seen Kelly change her hair style at half-time because of a poor first half performance or watched her stomp off the court like she was King Kong or even smile during play (OK maybe once).

I know these kids are ultra competitive or they would not be at this level. However, I have never seen a player at her level as being such a sore loser as Skylar. Removing runner-up medals and setting them at her feet during awards ceremony after losing the championship game (High school) or refusing to shake the other teams hands after losing the championship game (college). There is a pattern here.

. . . Why do I think like this? Somebody help me . . .

Doubtless it's due to your professional training.

Perhaps you should consider making this your signature line.

Your facts are getting in the way of people being objective.

ND football and all sports are basically hated like the Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. They are a franchise folks love to hate.

Wow, what a sicko I am, I root for ND football and the Yankees, am i the only one as you stated most folks. Must have done a study. MTBS

 

[meyers7]

Wow, what a sicko I am, I root for ND football and the Yankees,

[alexrgct]

I root for the Yankees, Lakers, Alabama football, Duke basketball, Steelers, UConn WBB, and Manchester United

i did not know this, or do not recall it if i did read it. i knew i didn't care for her on court demeanor, but if that's her personality and it's occurred several times, then it's more than just an aberration.

Don't get me wrong Eric. By all accounts everyone (almost) loves Skylar and the person she is off of the court. She is very smart, super cute, dedicated, driven and wants to be successful. She does not like losing and when she does, I think (IMO) that is when the worst side in her comes out. There is a respectful way to lose and not like it. She hasn't found that out yet.

I watched the louisville/ND game and wow...ND players are so unlikeable.

I watched, too. I couldn't help but like 'em.

 

[bruinbball]

I root for the Yankees, Lakers, Alabama football, Duke basketball, Steelers, UConn WBB, and Manchester United

Cubbies, ND Football, IU Hoosiers MBB, Ball State, Butler (A kid from my area will be playing there next year-flat out assassin - Kellen Dunham!), Colts and Pacers.

 

[Kait14]

That's more than many of us can say.

hahahha I wish I just meant is that way!! Does anyone know if it's on ESPN3? I'll be able to watch it afterward if it is, because they do replays

 

[Kait14]

I root for the Yankees, Lakers, Alabama football, Duke basketball, Steelers, UConn WBB, and Manchester United

Booooooooo alabama

Truly a corrupt person. I have brothers who are Yankee fans. We have tried exorcisms but they haven't worked to date.

BTW, it was a hyperbolic "most" meant to tweak you guys.

 

[alexrgct]

Booooooooo alabama

I was joking. Just picking all bandwagon teams. I actually went to U of Texas for my undergrad and root hard for my Longhorns.

Booooo Texas.. I can't stand Alabama, but Texas and Mack Brown have given us Willie Lyles, so I am not pleased with them haha

 

[alexrgct]

Oregon gave itself Willie Lyles.

 

[Sonny44]

The game doesn't even start until after 9 o'clock, on a Monday night. I wonder how loud, and for that matter how large, the crowd might be. I will be doing my best to make it loud.

I'll be there even if it starts at 11.
Wolverine don't care.

Removing runner-up medals and setting them at her feet during awards ceremony after losing the championship game .

I swore that was Taurasi

 

[DaddyChoc]

Yeah, facts. Facts like Maya won a lot of conference trophies and two NC trophies. That's called backing it up. Let's see if Diggins can win any.

so its ok to be Diva-ish if you win a few titles... is that what you're saying.

 

[doggydaddy]

Are you really calling Maya diva-sish?

 

[Sonny44]

Maya was the star that never acted like one.
You don't see much of that in sports (or life) anymore.

 

[speedoo]

so its ok to be Diva-ish if you win a few titles... is that what you're saying.

So this is a DC "fact". That Maya is a diva.

Wow.
