***Official Caitlin/Fever/Kate/Meg Games Mega Thread***

[citizenHawk]

Aces are playing well again. Tough out for this Fever team, but would be nice to see the Fever playing on the same page again. That last 3rd quarter looked like something was clicking---but I suppose making shots will do that.

*Hope Martin sees good minutes. Only about 5 minutes each for both Meg and Kate last game. Chelsea Gray is the real deal, however.

 

[SunzOutGunzOut]

I just gave a feeling CC might go bonkers tonight. 30 and will flirt with a triple double. Hoping for a close game and a Fever win. No offense to Kate and the Aces, but the league needs the Fever to be better than average.

Vegas would never allow her to get 30. They'd rather give up points to anyone but her.

Another dumb post cluttering up this thread.

Congratulations to you and Tenacious.

Anything else?

more clutter. Irony and such.

I don’t GAF about the back and forth between you guys, but this was too funny to pass up. Speaking of irony.

Yet the W still finds a way to lose $50 million.

See post #5860. From Carroll. This young girl only has 30, maybe 60 days left. Her Mom died of the same cancer in January. Heartbreaking story. Love what CC, Kate and all of the Hawkeyes have done for this family. Men’s basketball included. The Lux family has received a ton of emotional support from the McCaffery’s. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/thre...te-meg-games-mega-thread.444153/post-12246211

Tbf, the added losses this year are because of the charter flight expenses.

Their expenses will start to level out as they draw more revenue each year. It's not gonna be an immediate impact financially for the WNBA. They're starting in such a huge hole (that they created for themselves of course) and are only starting to climb out.

I was just throwing their own BS and their own words back at them.

Surprised you didn't figure that out.

Here are the 10 most-watched WNBA games this season.

All 10 have averaged at least ONE MILLION viewers, and 9 of 10 have involved Caitlin Clark and the Fever.

Don't think this has been posted yet, Angel Reese got Rookie of the Month for June.

WTH, let her have one.

 

[Franisdaman]

Looking forward to the chemistry continuing between these 2.

 

[the Howler]

Hypothetical question, as it isn't a possible scenario. You have two viewing options, so which do you choose:

1.) Random Indiana Fever game during Caitlin's rookie season.

2.) Iowa MBB first big ten match up of the upcoming season.

I'm picking 1.

That accounted for $25 million, they still lost another $25 million.

I love Temi. She is my second favorite player on Indiana, and maybe the W. She can play and I'm a sucker for a posh British accent. It sucks she's 31 as I hope she's got a lot of years left in the tank.

 

[Franisdaman]

Wallace out, Samuelson in?

 

[Franisdaman]

4 candidates.

Caitlin, however, is currently getting 67% of the vote.

I like to think of her as a taller Hannah stuelke with a sexy accent.

And not quite as happy. But still happy.

We need more “Line 1/Line 2” posts. Those are quality. Probably a couple thousand more or so. Maybe just in this thread alone.

 

[spiderland]

One random thought is that during the Mercury game, it looked like Copper wore herself out defending clark full court up in her grill, to the detriment of her shooting. Hopefully that will dissuade teams from doing that in the future.

How many women have had to leave games after cramping up from guarding CC this year? Must be at least 5. Or is it 6? I’ve lost count.

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

That accounted for $25 million, they still lost another $25 million.

It's typically 10-15, so I'd have to assume the extra losses were for further investments into the league this year with all the buzz.

The tale will be told in the next year or two, if Caitlin’s hy0e is just a flash for the league or if they'll actually begin to shift towards turning a profit.

Just curious--Do the women that dress for fashion have some monetary incentive to do so, or is it just a voluntary thing that some of them do for fun and looky looks?

It’s just hard to let someone have the last word when they are wrong about 80% of the things they write. I balance in my mind the remote possibility penetrating his mind versus having shit drone on and on and threatening the viability of a thread. On the other hand, I mostly skip over that stuff between other posters when I’m reading threads of interest so maybe what evs.

They’ve never made money nor have they had to, so I doubt they employ people who are good at it.

100% wrong. And that's your first sentence.

Any other dumb shit you wanna write?

Please stop while you are behind.

Thank you.

The juxtaposition between Temi and Erica is very funny

She balled out. It annoys the hell out of me that she's playing so well.

Patiently waiting for the Lexi Hull fit check tonight

The Olympic Selection Committee needs to tell us again why Caitlin was left off the team.

She's box office.

And she's putting up numbers.
