Love from Lieberman

[SDDawg]

Nancy named Tasha the most underrated player in the San Antonio regional. So somebody has noticed!

She won't be unnoticed very long.

Before we give her too much love let's keep in mind she has Iowa beating BYU as the most likely upset.

Maybe she thinks BYU sucks. Who knows?

And plus she had mentioned Tech in the previous 2 parts. She might feel she has to throw love at someone else to keep their fans interested, haha.

OR, maybe, she doesn't consider us beating Florida State an upset.

I will freely admit that I remember cheering ferociously AGAINST Nancy Lieberman when she was playing at ODU. Tech and ODU were BIG TIME rivals in women's basketball, back in the day (for you young'uns who weren't there).

But I have to say that in recent years she has been--for the most part--flattering in her comments about Tech, Coach Barmore, our tradition, etc. Maybe it's nostalgia for the good old days, but I'll take it. She has generally been respectful of La. Tech in her comments.

Well her and her era appreciate what Tech and other small schools like ODU, Long Beach State (remember, those terrifying California road trips), Delta State,etc. did for women's basketball. Heck Pat Summitt also has great respect for Tech. They "like to kick it old school."

On the other hand that sour-puss Stacy Dales Shuman, and Kara Lawson have no clue what it was like back in the day.

[Bluebird]

You are exactly right.

Dang, I may need to go sit in Memorial Gym for a while tomorrow to meditate.

I love how SDS bashes the little mid-major, even though she went to Missouri St. right? (I think that is where she went).

Nah...That was Jackie Styles that played at SMS. SDS played at Oklahoma from the BIG XII.

Ahhh, I stand corrected, now I see the love fest with her and courtney paris now

We are far less removed from being a real power than any other smaller program. All of you need to remember that ODU has not stood through time very well. Yeah, they win their conference, but that is about it these days. Our last big splash was the championship game in 1998, but we really been down for 4 years now.

We, more than any program (regardless of size) have hung around at the top, along with Tennessee, for the longest amount of time.

We have to earn respect now again, but we will do that.

I guess the point of my post is that we are no ODU, Long Beach State, or Delta State. We are a power player that has had a few down years.

None of those media heads even consider us a small wannabee program. The Techster name is considered among the elite in WBB. We have to earn some respect again to keep it there, though.

*yawns* can we get some NEW positive people on this board. You're boring now since you're so predictable.

Why don't you head on to bed then. I post because I like to talk about the Techsters. You can block me, if you wish.

I have to respectfully disagree, a bit Champ about us and ODU. Yes, they have slipped some as well, but they still get more respect than we do, I think. They continue to play a tougher OOC schedule. I don't know if Tennessee, Duke, Penn State (even though they were down this year), sought to play them, or Larry seeks them out, but they play these types every year. If I'm not mistaken, they also played North Carolina and Purdue. You would think that if we were a little ahead of them as far as respectability, then we would be playing more of these types of teams, other than Tennessee. Also, I didn't see Pat Summitt going to a 2-1 with ODU, as with us. I appreciate what Coach Long has done for us this year, and I think that we will get back to top 10, but we need, I think to get out of the WAC, 1st and foremost. I would still like to see us in the B12 or SEC. And second, try to get more of these top teams to play us. I bet that UNC would play us, as Sylvia Hatchell, probaly would consider us a cream puff and schedule us as most of her schedules, every year seem to be filled with less than stellar competition. Kentucky and Purdue would be good. Texas A&M with Tech connection there. We start playing more of those games would generate more exposure. JMO, however. GO Techsters !!!
