I hate this about WNIT they wanna keep team regionally most of the time and that puts some good teams that could meet down the road meeting out of the gate.
Tulane and Troy I bet we play one of them because we are somewhat close
LA Tech
MTSU
North Texas
ODU
in the WNIT FIELD
Pigtails (aka Prune Face) and LSU got pummeled last night by Ohio State, and at the PMAC too. She was completely and totally out coached. Her tiggers had just barely escaped Jackson State, and that thanks to obvious and purposeful bad calls by the refs. Well, at least she kept her clothes on last night...a welcomed reprieve.
Pigtails is a good recruiter, or has been, and no doubt can load LSU with some mega-talent. But in the X's and O's aspect she is mediocre at best.
Ohio State made her looky silly. I am done watching WBB for the season, just had to tune in and enjoy the slaughter. OSU built a 24-point lead and coasted to an easy win.
I see Kim Mulkey is still living in your head RENT FREE. So she took over the Baylor women's basketball program that was in complete shambles and won THREE NATIONAL NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS. After 21 seasons at Baylor, she moves on to LSU, and takes a 9-13 program and turns it into a 26-6 program. Yet according to you "she is a good recruiter but in the X's and O's aspect she is mediocre at best." When you express such an asinine opinion that ignores the facts, you appear to look asinine.
Mike White left Tech and moved to Florida taking Tech players and a recruit with him, and now Eric Konkol has left for Tulsa. It remains to be seen what Konkol will do regarding current Tech players and recruits. When are you going to label them as traitors like you did Kim Mulkey?
I think everyone has labeled White a traitor -
So far Konkol has shown nothing but class with his exit - keeping players and staff informed of his intentions and then meeting with them in person and I seriously doubt he is trying to poach any of our current players after what he personally hand to deal with during White's exit to UF
Mulkey was everything but classy with her exit from Tech
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Kim's legacy did take a hit due to the way she exited from Tech. Only her most fervent supporters can't see that.
Mulkey did not have instant success at Baylor. She had to recruit top talent, and that talent overcame any coaching deficiencies enough to win national championships. The question for me will always be many how national championships could she have won at Baylor if she could have stayed out of her own way. It was always about her first, and it will always be that way with her.
Overall, the SEC isn't exactly what it used to be in WBB. Tennessee might have also lost last night if one of the Belmont (that's right, Belmont) guards doesn't brick two free throws in the last few seconds. Mulkey was coaching a team that went 9-13 last year. LSU got overranked and overseeded at a 3 seed based on some unexpected success this year.
Mike White was always a hired mercenary, and that was the way he acted and should be remembered for his time at Tech. He became a mercenary for Florida the instant he stopped being a mercenary for Tech. He became a mercenary for Georgia the instant he decided to leave Florida. I won't remember Konkol in that same light if he continues to conduct his business as he has up to this point.

It's always fun to watch the impact Kim has on dawg80. I pulled for Kim at Baylor, but can't when she went to the dark side. She took a couple from Baylor (1 stayed, and 1 left again for Tulane), but the admin. probably encouraged her to go at the top because she couldn't keep her mouth shut and certainly is not the classy person the administration wants. She was speaking out against the location for the building project they are doing. There is a lot of love left from a lot of Baylor fans. I enjoyed the loss last night because it is LSU, and whether they are playing pick-up sticks, ping pong, BB or FB, I like to see them lose.
Well, pigtails is where she belongs and where she wanted to be all along. Scumbags flocking together.
But, for all of you lovers of puke purple and vomit yellow and prune face, enjoy cheering for the lady tiggers.
I am not going to rehash the debate over KM. But I do want to ask how many championship winning, once in a generation coaches are just good ole, salt of the earth, invite you over for Sunday lunch kind of people? How many of them are complete jerks?
I would argue you can count the former on 1 hand.
