Okay moving on. Who’s gonna watch Fever games?
- Thread starter BigAssTurkeyLeg
- Start date
Apparently there is a league pass for $35 for the whole season. I think I will order it, despite my other post.
There is no guarantee she plays for The Fever. There is a $5 million offer on the table waiting for her elsewhere. Whichever, I may check in on how she is doing but will not be watching. I don't watch the NBA either.
Just spent 35 bucks to see every game she plays in the W this coming season. I'll let folks around here know how much they're missing but if yall gonna have to get your own if you want to know WHAT you're missing. Sandwiched in between NBA playoffs and MLB playoffs, I got plenty of time for fishing and Caitlin.
I’m not watching it on a nice summer day, but I could see watching an 8pm tip winding things down for the night.
I just visited their website, and it says local blackout rules apply. Is this like MLB blackout where living in Des Moines we are blacked out for Minneapolis, Chicago, Kansas City, and Milwaukee? I think the only reason we aren’t blacked out for Indiana is because there is no team there.
Answering my own question, ankeny is only blacked out for sky games. I had to look up where they play and it is Chicago.
If CC is involved they need to lift the "blackout" rules. Have to give her maximum exposure to grow the game.
That has to be their strategy.
Love what CC did for Iowa and women’s college basketball. I have zero interest in the wnba and I don’t see that changing because of CC.

I feel the same way. I will just check the highlights where ever I can find them. I wish her the best of luck. I pretty much only watch college sports and with NIL that is getting harder also.
I will absolutely be watching and supporting Caitlin. After everything she’s done for this state & this program, it would be a dishonor to stop watching her. Ever.
ABC/ESPN, CBS Sports Network, NBA TV, and Amazon Prime last year.
And yes, I'll be watching. Just like I've watched Meg when she's been on.
This is exactly how I feel. I've never watched a WNBA game, but I will continue to support Caitlin in any way I can. I doubt I watch every game but even if I catch 10 Fever games this season, that's worth the $35 IMO.
She gave 100% to our state and university every night out for four years, so to be like "I don't like WNBA, so I won't follow" seems shitty to me. Like "Thanks for playing for the Hawks but now that you've graduated, I really don't care."
As I said, I will buy the league pass and a CC jersey to support her and am looking forward to seeing what she can do at the next level.

Looking at the Fever's roster, they have decent parts to build around.
If/when they draft Clark, they'll have the #1 and #3 (Kelsey Mitchell) all time scorers in WCBB.
She should immediately step in at the PG spot, but she'll be bumping out soon-to-be 9 year veteran PG Erica Wheeler, who has more or less been a starter at guard for the last 4 years
Grace Berger, from Indiana, is also in the rotation.

Agreed. Honestly, $35 is nothing for the entire season—especially compared to what CC has given us and our state/university. I will definitely be following her career throughout.
Yup, that was my thought as well. It's a small price to pay to support such a great Hawk, plus I genuinely love watching her hoop.
I'm confident that she'll have the highest-selling jersey this year. It would also be cool if the sales for WNBA TV packages increased 2-3x because of Caitlin's influence. It benefits the league overall, but it's amusing to think about how it might bother veterans like Tarasi that Caitlin could generate more money and excitement in just one year than they could in nearly two decades. Just another reason to keep supporting her lol.
So also think about that. CC besides putting butts in the seats is going to get get a ton of new subscriptions for 35 dollars. This will be great for the league.
Least televised team in 2023, only appearing on TV once. Most televised team in 2024 with 36 appearances.
I think the league is happy she has arrived.

This is why supporting CC and the WNBA is so important this year, lol. This season will be a major factor in renegotiating their TV contracts.
Plus the #2 pick 2 years ago with NaLyssa Smith who was first in rebounding and second in scoring.

As much of a Clark fan as I am, will not be watching the WNBA. That is such a horrific product.
As someone who doesn’t know shit about the WNBA, if they have her and Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell, why did they suck bad enough to have the #1 pick?or is it a lottery where they jumped teams with worse records?
It’s on YT TV buried down by the news networks at the bottom.
Question, are the announcers the same for the pass and the networks? If the wnba has gobbled up the decent announcers and they are shared, that could be a factor. Then again, they could suck and they might bring in good announcers who normally have the summer off…
