Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2085166, member: 3535"] 1-- What do you prefer? As long as the game doesn't affect NC St-- Watching a double Overtime women's game in which I've given you stats of the Kentucky/TAMU that the winning team shoots 28% while both teams can't pass the ball and the best stat for both is their offensive rebounding? Or do you prefer watching fantastic skill and beautiful passing from mostly one team but it is a blowout? I think you've implied you'll take watching the lousy play just because the score is close, right? 2-- DO you REALLY believe for example that most young males are going to want to watch for example the recent women's game between Stanford and OSU - this from the supposed best or 2nd best conference in wcbb in which nether team shot above 33%. And both teams had more turnovers than assists. Because they don't dunk/ have the athleticism - and they've grown up watching the dunk-- do you really think "just because the game is close" they will watch and turn into wcbb fans? 3-- You turned off the USF game because of the score. I realize that. But you are the one pushing yourself as an avid overall fan. You saw for yourself early in the game UCONN was playing great. You saw Lou start off very well. But that didn't matter to you. No problem. But the point is YOU SAID YOU WERE SAD that you didn't watch the rest. You reiterate that for you - it's all about the score. NEXT YEAR UCONN MIGHT DO THE SAME TO USF AND OTHER TEAMS. Lou might be able repeat her performance vs this team and others. But because you are so ingrained with "the score," imo you saying that you were SAD is nonsense. I am not meaning to be mean but I guess this comes out that way. I can tell as I said before that you are a very nice person and mean well. But ot come across as this "caring and devout FAN" bu then claim you are so SAD when you are all but acknowledging that you won't watch it again (because more than likely UCONN is going to wipe out many, many, many teams in similar to USF) is BS. 4-- The poster Gen posted just above this about the Russian hockey team. What would you call those fans that had no affiliation with the Russia team that went to watch the game or saw it? They KNEW who would win, right? What would you call those fans vs the fan you are of wcbb? I'm not "that wcbb fan" either. But I'm not the one spouting what a great fan I am on another's board and telling the other fans that their team is bad for the game while I will readily admit "I'll [B]turn [U]off the game[/U][/B]" even if I might have the opportunity to watch a historic performance. [B]Those young males don't give a darn about how close the game is. They aren't going to sit and watch lousy quality in which the athleticism is not up to the men's game and never will. So to single out UCONN women like you've done for being bad for the game is just complete nonsense.[/B] [/QUOTE]
