Unrivaled starts tonight! Who ya got??

A funny sideplot to the Unrivaled season. Marina Mabrey learning how to cook with more seasons than just salt and pepper. Every time she posts a new video, I'm howling. :D

I guess Notre Dame hasn’t heard of the commandment “Thou shalt not make cheese sauce with orange cheese.” Or maybe it’s a New Jersey thing.

I’ve got no beef with Marina. I always liked Michaela, and I guess that just transferred to little sister.

Help a Canadian out here. ;). Cheddar can be orange and white, which is awesome for home made macaroni and cheese.

Are you referring to American cheese? It's a lot different from any cheese/cheddar I've ever tasted.
 
LOL, this is the first time I heard there is another WBA league.

History​

The league was founded in 2023 by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, in part to allow WNBA players to play domestically and to bypass complications from the WNBA's prioritization rule for players who choose to play overseas in the WNBA offseason. Unrivaled's inaugural season is slated to begin on January 17, 2025, in Miami, Florida[1] with plans for the 2026 season to have games played across the United States.[2]

The league announced Stewart as the first signed player on July 9, 2024.[3]

Kayla McBride and Tip Hayes have been FUN to watch in this game! Seeing AT relentlessly bully Hamby has been--something. The Laces are the team to beat!

All this without Jackie Young (so far)! :eek::eek::eek:

Nope, orange cheddar. Makes the sauce look like Velveeta. :p

It’s probably just my New England upbringing. I never saw orange cheddar till I was well into my teens.
 
Something I haven't seen mentioned is that Napheesa was on the (PBS) Newshour, I think Thursday night. One thing she said that hadn't really occurred to me is that, with players making more on endorsements than in WNBA salary, going overseas removes them from the public eye, thus reducing the value of endorsements, for half the year. One of the motivations for Unrivaled was to keep the players around to help them earn more in endorsements.

Never thought of that and that's a huge thing when it comes to marketing.

If you had told me that the Mist would be winless at this point I would've said you were crazy. Looks like the Laces and Lunar Owls are the teams to beat.

I only watched the first game and caught a bit of others - do you think it's personnel matchups or coaching?

I missed Saturday but was thinking the same thing Friday night.

The Laces and Lunar Owls are much more in tune with each other. I'm enjoying their play a lot. I've been a fan of McBride and Thomas, but watching them play together has been a lot of fun.

The same for Diggins and Collier with the Owls. There's an interesting synergy with that roster. Everytime I hear "Hootie Who", I'm waiting for Missy Elliott's song "Pass that Dutch" to start though. :rolleyes:

The Midwest likes orange cheese. My boss was married to a guy from the Midwest and he insisted on the orange stuff. Seems unnatural.
 


A nice highlight clip of Kate Martin. I agree with the poster. The music selection is top notch. :D

I thought Vinyl did a good job of frustrating Napheesa last night but she still ended up with 19 points on 50% shooting. Hamby was out of the game for personal reasons and both Howard/Ogunbowale had off shooting nights. If Vinyl could have hit their open shots it would have been a very different night.

Not sure if this happened last night but WOW. Courtney Williams has some serious hops!

That game is circled on my calendar.
 
Angel Reese just got ejected for being competitive. Lol. Jk. Disappointed though.

Loved seeing Aaliyah Edwards play such a big role in the Mist's first victory of the season. Her mobility as a big is well suited to the full-court three-on-three model.
Expand ...

I was excited about her joining for this reason as well. It's great to see her playing with more freedom. It kind of reminds me of her during her Crestwood days.
 
My team lost twice this weekend (heal up, AT!!!!), but the games have still been entertaining.

AE back with the mask. Did she get hurt again??

I don't recall hearing anything about that. Maybe she just feels more physically confident with the mask on? Masked Aaliyah was pretty bad-ass at UConn.
