I agree, I don't automatically dislike players or teams that beat UConn. I thought it was great for St. John's that they won that game. I hated it for Tiff, but was happy for SJU's players.

Don't love Baylor, but their fans and players were pretty classy after they beat UConn this year. Same with Stanford last season.

And it's not even ND, per say. I like Muffet for the most part. It's really just Skylar. And Becca last year. The looks they give, the attitude towards the refs, the cheap "defense" they play where they slap from behind and get a "steal"...the flopping in the lane to get fouls...ugh. I don't see Skylar ever making a senior national team. Not with Bria, Renee and Moriah around.

Back in the day, Dizzy Dean once predicted that "Me and Paul" (his brother) would win 40 games between them in a season (I think about 1934 or -35). He was accused of being a braggart. His response: "When you can do it, it ain't braggin'."

P.S. He won 30, Paul 19, then 4 more in the WS vs. Detroit. So it wasn't braggin' at all.

Coming out of HS, I liked Skylar and wished she had decided to sign with UConn. Initially didn't mind that she signed with ND and probably still don't even though she's been a thorn in Geno's side.

Its her off the court actions, in particular her tweets and other social pages that started my dislike of her. I also consider her removing her headband on the court as an act to draw more attention to herself, instead of getting the whole team attention. She's on twitter constantly which I don't mind as there are many players that use twitter. However, I doubt there are many that retweet every positive tweet that is said about her. I'm sure its not every tweet, but its the majority. I understand from tweets that she's up for a BET award, and using all retweets to garner more votes. Can't see Maya or for that matter DT using twitter to win awards.

I'll also admit if she did sign with UConn, her on court demeanor and how she uses social media to enhance her stature probably wouldn't bother me as much. I still think she's a great player and doesn't need to be the Diva she is to get attention.

If I had a choice I would take Odyssey Sims over Skylar any day of the week and it wouldn't be an easy decision. Sims is the much better player and teammate.

It does seem that the ND players and coaching staff have no problems with the antics of Skylar. I also believe Skylar is helping get recruits to sign with ND.

I'm locking the thread because I'm tired of editing out the worst of the insults.

Sometimes when reading these posts that trash players I wonder which group is made up of mature adults and which is the one with immature adolescents.
