You're right, it's even weaker than that. You've been quoting headlines that are obviously designed to trumpet the occasion. Headlines aren't evidence. I looked through the NCAA records that they post on their website, and all the apparently official records are separated.

Your asking a question many of us are saying is irrelevant. As I stated, the relevant numbers are either within their category or the NCAA as a whole. They've already passed 70, but 137 (the highest record for NCAA Division 1 consecutive team wins) is a ways away. Will 110 (when they pass the volleyball record) get the same hype as 89 did? I doubt it; because they want to have their record equated with Wooden's.

You are wise beyond your years. The AAU was responsible for womens college basketball until 1971 and the the AIAW (Association For Intercollegiate Athletics For Women) took over until 1982. 1982 was the first year that the NCAA had any responsibility or association with womens basketball at all. And now the NCAA is ignoring everything that happened before 1982 while trying to compare a record set by the mens basketball D1 team years before their womens basketball division even existed.

If it didn't happen before 1982, it doesn't exist.

The NCAA is trying to claim the record for consecutive wins by a womens D1 basketball team is 89 while completely ignoring all records of the same sport made or set before 1982. Well, I'm mad as hell and I'm just not going to take this anymore.

Womens basketball is my life.

If you're going to eliminate the men/women qualifier from the question, why not eliminate the NCAA qualifier too? Or even the basketball qualifier?

You could simply say, "What team has the most wins?" (any sport, any organization, any gender).

I was going to comment, state my position and other such information and opinion. But I can't deal with the under lying subtle and/or b;atant sexiam in this post. So I'll leave you all to this discussion.

Are you saying it is sexist not to enjoy, like or have any interest in woman's basketball?

Peace

Not at all. And I will freely talk about the physical differences between the two physiques of men and women athletes and their respective sports. I was referring to the spellings and slight under ahnded jokes. Which you are all free to do, I'm just deciding to with hold my own opinion on this matter.

Oooooooooo........K. :D

Btw most of my jokes about wimmen are heavy-handed, not slight. They OK with you? Or is that b;atant sexiam also?

As someone who has witnessed the horror of b;atant sexiam, I can tell you it is neither b;atant, nor sexiam.

Subtle ??? On The Forum ???

OK. Now you have my attention. Go on ...

(I know. I'm being juvenile. But I've got today off from work, and I'm going to enjoy it. You'll only have to deal with me for a few more hours. My kids, and their spouses/future spouses, will be coming over soon, we'll go to early mass tonight, go out for some Chinese food, and take in a movie, probably True Grit. Except for the going to mass part, my Jewish friends sometimes think I'm Jewish)

This is perhaps the most passive aggressive thing I've seen on this board.

You obviously want to share and you want attention, so share away. If you're going to accuse us of sexism for this discussion, please do it and move on. Usually such an accusation would be accompanied by a quote of an actual post.

If you're referring to JR's spelling "errors," I'm sure you recognize that he's not the one who came up with that particular mispelling.

Watch out for smiling ducks.

I certainly hope that everyone notes what Wikipedia said about us forward-thinking, caring and tolerant individuals who use the term "wimmen". It states that: "Writers who use the alternate spellings see them as as an expression of female independance and a repudiation of traditions that defines females by a reference to a male."

I also certainly hope that any wimmen who may have made the past mistake of taking me to task for supposedly exhibiting anti-wimmen behavior while I was actually championing their cause immediately (if not sooner) send me a written apology of no fewer than 500 words. And maybe a pair of their used panties (I may want to coach the NY Jets someday).

All of you wimmen that thought I was just your average ol' male sexist douchebag (whilst still having shapely buttocks though) oughta be ashamed of yourselves! I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

Wimmens Lib is my life!

Are you a wikipedia editor? Just sayin'.;)

An urgent appeal from JR, Wikipedia editor and women's lib champion.

"I'm also married to a supermodel." (Rex Ryan), A Foot Model ???
 

In that case you should have asked for a pair of used stockings.

You forgot BYU - Near East on Mt Scopus. I know that their 7 game men's basketball streak was broken back in 93!

I think this thread has pretty much ended.

Congrats to UConn on seting whatever record(s) any individual chooses to recognize.
