Mechelle Voepel is great. Seeing this makes me wonder why ESPN doesn't put her in front of the camera, for color commentary.

Not everyone is comfortable (or wants to) speaking spontaneously in front of the cameras. Perhaps that's a factor?

I love all this talk about freshman sensation Elizabeth Williams...this sets up KML nicely! I hope she shows WCBB why she was rated #1 !!!

To be fair, pretty much all of the talk this season has been about KML..... its good to see EW get a bit of recognition preceding this matchup.

Yeah, her skill and preference is writing. ESPN needs to pay her more. You all be shocked how little she makes.

Sadly, I probably wouldn't, but in any case she's a national treasure, labor of love though it may be for her. Hopefully, she will have seen women's sports grow enough over her lifetime that she can really appreciate the impact her career has had. Existential satisfaction doesn't pay the mortgage, but it's still pretty cool.

good post Alex! It is a labor of love for her. She is very humble and shy, but if she reads your post and others here, it would make her smile.

 

[Icebear]

She is one of my all time favorite writers.

 

[pap49cba]

She is a great writer and obviously loves women's college sports. She has a BIG 12 bias but I'm willing to overlook that .

 

[ThisJustIn]

I'd encourage you to email her your positive thoughts AND participate in her weekly thursday chats. It an be lonely out there

And check out her blog too. Her last entry was an interview with Wendy Larry which captured the some great moments in women's bball.

She also wrote a very moving and emotional piece on the road we are regarding the Okl St. Plane crash tragedy.
