    The Connecticut Women's Basketball thread

    Holy Fuck, I hope that pissed everyone off that fucking read that. Comparing the UCLA teams to women's basketball is the biggest fucking joke I've ever heard. All this fucking talk about how their style is similar...and they are somewhat the same...

    blah...blah...fucking blah...

    The only thing remarkable about anything involving women's basketball is that the term remarkable is used. It's like saying a pee wee hoops team broke or tied Wooden's record. What a fucking joke.

    I hope to fucking hell tOSU rolls them tomorrow...

      I know. It's kind of like comparing that pansy soccer to our real sport, FOOTBALL!

          Wooden was an inovator in not just his sport, but he sort of transcedended sports in a way.

          I don't see Auriemma in the same way.

          plus, it's women's fucking basketball.

              You sure got me with it....

              I was like, "WHAT THE FUCK ??"

              Wooden is on his own pedestal.... There's Wooden, and then there's everyone else....

                  When that old fucking cheater Calhoun quits, gets canned or croaks, I'd LOVE for the fucking brass to offer the job to that fucking piece of overrated shit...

                  He's not a legitimate coach, and won't be...until he succeeds on the other side...

                  What a fucking joke...

                      Yeah a friend of mine was flipping through and they were noting the great sports streaks in history, and JIMMIE JOHNSON WAS MENTIONED

                      that dude only dominates because of the shit chase system that was in place, where he's able to fuck up on the first couple of tracks and then just win at the shit tracks at the end. FUCK HIM.

                          "I just know there wouldn't be this many people in the room if we were chasing a woman's record," the Connecticut coach said Sunday near the end of his postgame news conference. "The reason everybody is having a heart attack the last four or five days is a bunch of women are threatening to break a men's record, and everybody is all up in arms about it."

                          What a fucking douche...

                          1. A women's basketball team is a fucking joke...no offense ladies.
                          2. The two streaks shouldn't even compare. The women's game isn't even a triple A league...it's like a developmental league...
                          3. Auriemma is a fag

                              "All the women are happy as hell and they can't wait to come in here and ask questions. All the guys that loved women's basketball are all excited, and all the miserable bastards that follow men's basketball and don't want us to break the record are all here because they're pissed," Auriemma said. "That's just the way it is."

                              Count me in as a miserable bastard

                                  "Because we're breaking a men's record, we've got a lot of people paying attention," Auriemma said. "If we were breaking a women's record, everybody would go, 'Aren't those girls nice, let's give them two paragraphs in USA Today, you know, give them one line on the bottom of ESPN and then let's send them back where they belong, in the kitchen.' "

                                  They don't have to go back to the kitchen...but two paragraphs in the USA Today is a joke...

                                          who the fuck is saying for them to go back to the kitchen?

                                          more power to women for playing basketball, no skin off my back. I just don't enjoy watching it. Really boring game. Solid on fundamentals, but come on, you don't watch basketball for solid fundamentals, sort of the reason why I don't enjoy watching the spurs in the NBA Finals every other year.

                                          just have a hard deal putting it on par with john wooden's record or comparing UCLA BBall back in the day to UConn's. Different times, different levels entirely. Wooden's record stands out more to me still.

                                              and you know what, another reason why wooden is more awesome than this guy ever will dream to be.

                                              I can guran-damn-tee you he wouldn't be making it to make some bullshit statement about his team. He'd just win games and be done with, strictly business.

                                              Just a moment...

                                              hell, I HATE Duke, HATE THEM, but I doubt Coach K. would ever say something like that either. There's a way of handling things in sports, and then theres how UConn douche just did.

                                              dudes amatuer hour. Could probably never successfully coach at the men's level. Now, I will say something a bit controversial, but I think that Pat Summit could if she so desired. Have a lot more respect for her.

                                                  You can't compare the two at all.

                                                  Geno and the UCONN women's basketball team is a machine partially created by ESPN. They tried the same thing with the men's team, but men's basketball is a little more competitive. The entire Big East conference was created by ESPN. Especially football. The only people that care about women's basketball are the UCONN alums that work at ESPN and people in Tennessee. For everybody else, women's basketball is something to watch while waiting for the men's game to start.

                                                  As far as Wooden goes, what kind of "innovator" would he have been without Sam Gilbert lining the pockets of the UCLA team for nearly 20 years?

                                                          Being a Purdoo alum sure doesn't help....

                                                          You just can't compare what Wooden did to what coaches do today. I think the run Coach K has been on at Duke is just as impressive. The competition is WAY tougher today than it was in the 60's. Not to mention the NCAA tournament was tougher. Less teams, only regular season conference champions , very region specific. UCLA had it a little easier than having to play in the Big Ten or ACC. IMHO, I think that college basketball has to be broke down into 2 eras, "the pre Bird-Magic-ESPN" and "post Bird-Magic-ESPN". After that game, and the birth of the four-letter-network, it all changed. Records before then are a little less impressive to me (and, yes, that does include the '76 Hoosiers)....

                                                          Then there is the fact that Sam Gilbert lined the pockets of every major recruit UCLA had for almost 20 years....
