The multiple threads thread

[RadyLady]

Still a big difference from players yelling it for other players to hear and fans saying it to each other. If ND players actually come to a uconn board after losing a national championship, I think they know what to expect. After watching the video from their locker room after they beat uconn, well let's just say it left a bad taste in my mouth and I wasn't pulling for them... and I won't be upset that Diggins leaves without a ring.

Regardless of how you transmit it or where...the message remained the same. I don't support the message,and I feel that repeating something that was so vile to us regardless of the situation inappropriate. The lesson should be that we learn from other's mistakes. That is not happening here. The mistake instead is repeated.

Abuse and cruelty is what it is whatever it is spoken or repeated. In ever circumstance it must be denounced clearly and rejected.

 

[schmendrick]

Wow. So a thread titled "it must s*** to be ND" by a fan on a fan message board constitutes abuse and cruelty? Please.

 

[Zorro]

Since this thread has several mini-threads, could you specify who you mean by "Lotta folks"?

Don't have time to go back over the thread and list them all, but just in general all the schadenfreudistas. The Irish played hard, clean basketball and beat us three out of four. No need for petty nastiness. Next year the situation will be very, very different.

Nope. Just tacky.

Really these are seniors who gave it their all and actually played in the final game of the season. They just happened to run into the most dominant force in WCBB. I'm not going to sit here and act as of I'm a big fan of their team, but they were a tough bunch that was fearless and really competed every time out. For that I can really respect them and their efforts these past couple of years.

they were fearless in every game this season except for one and you could see it on the floor and that was Baylor they were intimadated

 

[MarieM]

Butler University and Notre Dame have another thing in common.. other than being from Indiana

 

[ladybears4eva]

Maybe they should have dug, scratched and mauled Baylor like they did UCONN.

we got enough scratches and mauling from the Ogwumikes... they really have long nails... BG and destiny were really beat up and their arms were all taped up after the game. I guess they really wanted to win... ouch!@

 

[ladybears4eva]

Personally. I strongly believe Baylor will lose early in the season next year...against us!

i think it will be a tough game, but our girls will be mostly seniors, we have a senior Griner and a junior Sims.. and no one else does.

We get a great wing player in A Prince.. and a mcdonalds all american as a backup pointguard to sims... not to mention a full team coming in (all positions in top 100) im happy to be a bear.

hope we can recruit the hell outta the 2013 class ... we need it to compete with your sophomores and seniors that year.

 

[ladybears4eva]

They're up there, but Tennessee, Rutgers, and Syracuse still rank ahead of ND in my view.

neither of which have a chance at either beating UCONN or playing them in the the near future.. that make's so much sense for a rival.

 

[ladybears4eva]

Looks like there was a brouhaha over Muffet's comment on Griner . From an ESPN story:http://espn.go.com/womens-college-b...ifies-comment-brittney-griner-playing-ability

McGraw was asked by a newspaper reporter whether she has ever seen a player who can impact the game down low as Griner does.

She responded, "No, I think she's one of a kind. I think she's like a guy playing with women."

​

Griner responded: "I take it as a compliment."​

But it sounds like there were comments made in the media and Muffet issued a clarifying comment which took ESPN to task:

"I am disappointed that ESPN would so clearly take my comment about Brittney out of context," the statement read. "I would hope that it was clear to those in attendance at Tuesday's press conference that my comments were meant to be complimentary, and in reference to her style of play and her dominance in our game, nothing more. Any attempt by others to read anything more into that comment is wrong, malicious and incredibly insulting to Brittney, Kim [Mulkey] and the Baylor women's basketball program, and it's a poor attempt by some to try and take away from what was a well-played national championship game. I have held, and continue to hold Brittney and the Baylor women's basketball in the highest regard and I congratulate them on winning the title this evening."

she should have known not to make sucha remark. plain and simple. Why do women's athlethics need to be validated by men's abilities? it's women vs. women... so there's no need to go there.. especially when it's well known that Griner is taunted horribly by opponents and social media questioning her gender.

muffet should have been smarter that that.

seems to me like she made a dumb comparison and back peddeled for a second when she started talking about other players having that skill in the past.

I agree 5sided, Baylor looked intimidated in one game, the game was played at home against Uconn. Luckily, they pulled it out with a 5 point win. Phew!! That win gave them confidence, if we can beat Uconn, we can beat anyone.

I agree. Muffet meant what she said!!! She only explained her clarification for public relations. I am happy Baylor whipped them. ND has never been a BE supporter except when it suits them, i.e. BB. Their football program could have helped the BE if they only play in the BE.

 

[DrDos]

Sorry, mods. Couldn't resist.

► I feel their pain!

Muffet is a class act and when you are being interviewed sometimes every coach says something that you can pick apart..you have to remember that people in the media are there to sell stories and they will grab anything.when you have to start picking your words what is the sense of talking..it was a compliment nothing else

When we were trouncing ND for I don't know 12 games in a row, everyone seemed to really like Muffet. Just because they had a temporary upper hand is no reason, in my mind, to now dislike her. Diggins on the other hand is kind of not likable only because how she moans about never commiting a foul or always gets fouled.JMO

 

[AboutWeston]

It is what it is...we move on and hope to improve in 2012-2013.

 

[MarieM]

baylor beat uconn this season.. home court advantage played a big role in it.. baylor plays in storrs next season.. Homecourt advantage will play a big role there too

i think it will be a tough game, but our girls will be mostly seniors, we have a senior Griner and a junior Sims.. and no one else does.

once grinner leaves Baylor, it'll be like "Baylor who?"... lol.. and everything will be back to normal (Uconn winning everything) hahaaha

I still like Muffet.

 

[justML]

I still like Muffet.

Me too except for one thing ...

Even though she has almost 10 years on me, Muffett can still rock a leather skirt. A feat I haven't attempted since 1989!

 

[AboutWeston]

When is the first game next season?

 

[CamrnCrz1974]

To be fair, people said the same thing about Sophia Young and Baylor.

 

[easttexastrash]

It will be interesting to see what this championship does for Baylor recruiting. What would a second consecutive title do for them? You don't suddenly, overnight become UCONN. But a championship next year would equal 3 championships in the post DT years, which would be more than any other program in the nation.

It took Geno 16 years at UCONN to get his third championship. If Mulkey gets her third next year it will have taken her 13 years at Baylor. You have to start somewhere.

 

[schmendrick]

No, because it has split into multiple threads. Probably will end around August.

Congratulations, schmendrick, you've just renamed your own thread.

Those who didn't like the title in the first place, let alone having to see it for weeks, will be grateful.

I wish schmendrick had renamed the thread 'Bartholomew's Magnificent Hat.'

No one is denigrating Baylor or Mulkey (from what I've seen). When she gets to 7, you can come by and gloat. ;^)
