Sheryl Swoopes

[joelbc1]

Why no jab at joelbc, as he was the first to get political???

POLITICAL? MOI??
I made an ACCURATE analogy between Ms. Swoopes statement regarding #22 yesterday and “facts uttered” by our #45!
It was more about lies, falsehoods and half-truths told by the parties mentioned, and nothing really about “politics”. (You guys need to get over your guilty MAGA consciences!)
By the way……all life is “politics” .

She made some reply posts in the last hour. Not a good look for her tbh.

Didn’t see them

 

[Franisdaman]

She didn't lose any games to COVID - three years, three NCAA tourneys

Actually, Caitlin lost at least 6 games (and around 162 points) due to covid during the 2020-2021 season.

How I got to 162 points:

* Iowa ended up playing just 23 regular season games in 2020-2021. This season we are playing 30 regular season games. So that's 6 or 7 regular season games that were lost due to covid (some reg seasons are just 29 games, not 30).

Therefore, Caitlin's lost points due to covid is 27 ppg x 6 games lost = 162.

Some other notes:

* The Iowa women's first game of the 2020-2021 season was not until Nov 25, 2020.

* Iowa only played 4 nonconference games (they were only allowed up to 5 nonconference games).

* The game at Rutgers was postponed and never made up.

* In the end, Iowa (20-10) only played 30 games that season.

4 Nonconf (UNI, Drake, Iowa St, W. Ill)
19 Reg Season (of the orig 20) Conf Games
4 B1G Tournament Games
3 NCAA Tournament games

Here was their 2020-2021 schedule & results (note the postponements & rescheduling due to covid):

Here's CC's numbers her first 3 years:

Year: Points Scored
2021: 799 (30 games).................26.6 ppg
2022: 863 (32 games)..................27.0 ppg
2023: 1,055 (38 games)...............27.8 ppg


Here's a couple good stories regarding that season:

(1) Iowa WBB announced its 2020-21 WBB schedule just 2 days before the season was officially slated to begin. Iowa was scheduled to play 20 conference games and 4 non-conference games in 2020-21.

Swoopes was obviously misinformed, ill prepared and a bit lazy. The rest of the thoughts ITT as to the reason she made the erroneous statements is pure conjecture and opinion. I'll give SS the benefit of the doubt that she isn't racist in regards to her feelings about CC. Time to move on...

I think there is 100% a racial component to it. Maybe not with how SS and DS feel about CC personally, but I do think they resent all the media love she gets and probably believe it's because she's white. Staley hates the Iowa program and basically called Bluder a racist by putting words in her mouth that she never said.

Good research. Yeah they only played 4 non-conf games during the COVID season, 5 were allowed but they couldn't find a team willing to travel to Iowa City for their 5th game.

She can't help herself at this point. She can'/won't say she was wrong so her response is to dig a deeper hole. But, it would seem she really does not care.

At this point, her goal is engagement. Rage yields far more engagement than any other form of performance... Thus, sadly, her path to more $$ is more engagement by enraging CC fans. The best response at this point is to screenshot and mock her ignorance rather than engage directly. Soon enough her best form of revenue will be that of fake-eyelash girl... a crappy OnlyFans she advertises via ignorant tweets. Sad, really...

 

[cmhawks99]

It’s possible SS was denied an opportunity to scissor the night before with a white woman and was just in a poor mood.

CC will have a hard time in the WNBA because she doesn’t scissor.

Hard to believe that 4 years ago we were watching Iowa basketball like we normally do and then on Thur March 12, 2020 the men's B1G Tourney was canceled. The next day was Friday the 13th of March, 2020. What else could go wrong? Well, on Monday March 16, 2020 (the day before St Patty's Day) bars, restaurants and gyms were shut down.

Crazy times! I was working in India desperately trying to find a flight out before they shut down the country... I ended up going Bengaluru->London->Los Angels->Indianapolis to get stateside.

I remember that timeline only because I remember it was Friday the 13th of March, 2020 and that the day before the men's B1G Tourney got canceled.

I remember vividly talking to a friend at the gym on that Friday the 13th about the B1G Tournament getting canceled and about signs being posted around the gym to wash your hands, etc. We were wondering what else was coming.

Yep. Lisa made a comment that going up against South Carolina was like going into a bar fight. Dawn got completely outcoached by Lisa, so to distract people from that, she went on a racial rant, stating that "we are not bar fighters, we are not monkeys, we are not thugs...."

And Dawn, of course, referred to the recent South Carolina/LSU game as a dog fight. Where was the outrage there?

F'ing race baiting hypocrite is all she is.

Well if I hadn’t made plenty of stupid mistakes in my life, just like you I’d probably have a bit stronger opinion. And in fact she should have to-say she is sorry, but getting hit by a truck is WAY to strong.

Good research. Yeah they only played 4 non-conf games during the COVID season, 5 were allowed but they couldn't find a team willing to travel to Iowa City for their 5th game.

So, Iowa lost 2 games due to covid (Rutgers was not rescheduled & they did not play a 5th nonconf game).

And they only played 23 regular season games; this year we are playing 30.

Remove Caitlin Clark and you actually had a conversation worth having. Or first give praise to what Clark is doing and then talk about how it isn’t fair she could make the record untouchable next year.

I would have preferred the NCAA work out some plan to protect the integrity of records if athletes were given a 5th year. Simply just drop their least productive year from 5 years from a players stats.

 

[QChawks]

5 pages in and I have discovered that NCAA Women's basketball is serious bizness

Pretty sure this is correct ...it wasn't directed at the SS/CC controversy.

She didn't tag SS on it either.

Ahh, okay, fair enough. I've no idea what occurred during the Grammies but...lessoned learned with assuming. I need to take my own advice.

 

[Franisdaman]

She did. She lost regular season games not NCAA tournament games.

I'm pretty sure we had some games cancelled because of covid that year.......

Correct me if I am mistaken but I count 6 or 7 lost games in Caitlin's first year.

30 reg season games this season.

23 reg season games played in 2020-2021.
............................
7 LOST GAMES (or 6, because some reg seasons are 29 games and not 30).
=============


Note, too, that Iowa could have played 25 regular season games in 2020-2021 (20 conf + 5 nonconf). Iowa ended up playing just 23 (Rutgers game was canceled & they couldn't find a 5th nonconference opponent).

Nobody seems to worry about records before and after the 3 pt. shot or in football--how long the season is now compared to previous years -- and I don't mean the nat'l playoff. O r do they?

[ft254]

I have total mixed feelings….id love to see her have another year. With that said, when you talk about making records unbreakable, thats what she would do.

Me too. Unfortunately, every record would be asterisked to high heaven and considered questionable and compromised.

Was this the clip that Fox put on during halftime or at some time in the game against Maryland? It is one thing to have in game interviews with coaches or players at halftime which I think is a nuisance to them. It is way off base to bring in past players to give their view on what is going on.

There seems to be a lot of jealousy, dislike, etc for what CClark is doing.
