Is anyone here even paying attention to the Women's NCAA Tournament?

Are those that do not like Women's basketball, not fans of officiating girls or Women's basketball during our seasons?

I've watched more of the women's tournament than the men's.

What's wrong with 11:00a.m. on a Sunday for a game? I'd rather have games on at that hour than at 11:00 at night.

I'm enjoying Iowa State and BYU right now.

I watched the ODU - Purdue game last night and it was an excellent game (ODU won in O/T). It was a heck of a lot better than the Maryland - Wisconsin game on Sunday. A 30-point blowout is not much of a game.

Our family watched the second half of the BYU-ISU game and same thing a close fun game to enjoy.

I will watch most of the women't tourney later, when I get the tapes from my Jr Hi helper who is recording it all (illegally I suppose) since I don't have cable.

I'm no lawyer (nor do I play one on TV or stay in Holiday Inn Expresses), but, by my reading of 464 U.S. 417 (1984), I believe this is legal to record, as long as it is only for personal use.

BTW, how many cheeseburgers will you have to pay the kid for taping all these games?

I think women are great too and it is worth to watch thhem play
but that ball they use is gay
red strip and white strip that ball sucks
the ball for men are better

When he comes to my game to tape me, I pay $5 per game, and buy him dinner. When he tapes off TV, I pay him $2 per game, and let him get his own chili-free or whatever.

Okay, now I'm mad!
Rainmaker, you get a kid to tape you at one of your games, about 90 minutes, for $5 and a happy meal? I can't get a kid to sit on my riding lawn mower for 45 miutes for under $20. I'm moving norhtwest!

This is the first year I've watched any nc2a tourney games mainly because the school at which I work and from which I graduated made it to the sweet 16 - SIU.

Hey Tharbert, I'm a Saluki fan too. Moved away from there 1 1/2 years ago. Lived in a small town named Carterville. I am amazed at how Bruce Webber has turned the team around.
They got a tough one coming up.

No one even HAS riding lawnmowers here, grass is too wet all the time. You have to pay a kid $50 to use a sickle (if you even have one) or hire a flock of sheep.

Unfortunately, my lawn is under about 4 inches of snow right now. First day of Spring, my. . . foot!

Wow, I thought it was just me, but I would rather watch paint dry.

When I looked to see who the thread starter was on this post, it did not surprise me. Yes, I am paying attention to the 'event' and so are many others. When will people learn that many different people enjoy many different things and bashing something because you are not doing it is ridiculous. Just because you are not watching the womens tournament does that mean nobody else is? Give me a break! Among MANY others, lot's of little girls are watching, learning, setting goals and participating in sports because they see other young women playing sports and want to emulate them. Grow up and stop being so insecure!

WCR--

I think Jeff was saying that he WAS watching, and was wondering why no one else was bringing it up as a subject for discussion. I agree about the little girls. I hope some year soon the women will be on network TV, rather than just cable so even more little girls can see and aspire.
