Three home games in five days, starting with SMU tonight, Thursday. Still time, though barely, to resurrect a winning season. I'll be looking for an intense, all out effort tonight. Go Techsters!!

I'm not supposed to say anything negative so I'll say something positive.
Good gosh, how bad is this team?
They lost to the Lady Razorbacks by 40. Then UAPB beat the Arkansas women on Sunday.
This Lady Techster team could go down as the worst in the history of the Techsters.Quote:

Heading to Ruston. Tuesday both Robyn Lee and Roberson had double doubles and Brannon was back. Need this again plus 1-2 others to step up for a win. We shall see.
Bless your heart. Tech should NEVER lose to a SWAC team, but we'll see.Quote:

Alcorn is the better team and would easily win a 7-game series. Much better coached.
I’m quite shocked that Tech won but even in that it’s disgusting to win by only 2 points. This has to be Tech’s all time worst team since their very first year. There should be a lot of people who are sickened by this. The once world class Lady Techsters now stink and it’s the adults in charge who are responsible.
Didn't the Techsters go 13-9 in their very first year? I thought so, but it's been 50 years since then and my memory is starting to fade (a little).Quote:

13-8 with two wins over LSU.Quote:

Please tell me this was a joke! I can't fathom one reason why this would even be contemplated. She and hubby are absolutely awful. If you judge a HC by their record, then she should have been gone long ago. However, I know 1/2 of this board still want her (for reasons I can't even bear to hear). "She runs a clean program!" - yep, right into the ground! "She's an ex-Lady Techster" - yep and I used to be 180 lbs. Both are history that have no bearing on the present. This would be the last straw if the AD actually rewards her with an extension!Quote:

Brooke's players have set a record for GPA, think I saw there are 3 or 4 perfect 4.0 GPAs, and the team as a whole is something like 3.5 GPA. I know some of you don't give a damn about stats like this, but these are supposed to be STUDENT-athletes.Quote:

Which is why I advocate for allowing Brooke to play out her contract string and then hiring a "cheap" coach. They are out there, and there are plenty of "good" players who will love to play college ball while earning a degree.
I mean, yes. If the purpose of the team is to keep the athletic GPA up, then that can be done a lot more cheaply.Quote:

Says $206,000 in 2017 with $10,000 annual increases maxing at $246,000 in year six, $1,376,000 over six years in original contract. Doesn't include the extension two years.
Brooke is here through 2025-26 season. She had an extension in the summer of 2022. I guess Dr. Wood was impressed with the WNIT invite that year and gave her an extension.

Tech 35 Cal Baptist 16 Halftime
How the hell is Cal Baptist 9-0 and playing a rather decent schedule too? I mean, not a bunch of NAIA teams.
I suspect they are not as horrible as they have looked, and I predict that they will make a game of it in the 2nd half. Maybe the Techsters can hold on.
Who are these players?
And where have they been the last 10 games???
64-31 after 3 quarters. I suppose CBU is not going to make a run.Quote:

Good win.
Won two of three at home to get to 4 - 9. At South Alabama Thursday, at Abilene Christian next week. Need to establish that we can win on the road. Then on to conference.Quote:

Two solid wins back to back. I am interested in seeing the match up with ACU
Not often you win a road game with double the opponent’s score.
Who are these people and where have them been! :)
Who is this team
Southern-BR 79 Oklahoma Lady Sooners 70Quote:

That was a "WOW" game... We need to pull some of those off. It is a very strange year and we should be better than how we have played so far.Quote:
