I'm confused by the question & some of your posts in previous threads. Should we not celebrate & support a damn good team?

I suppose if they had a team that could possibly win a national title in a major women's sport, then yeah, they might be entitled to brag a little, or at least enjoy the moment. But many of us laugh at them about everything else, so why not that?

Sell. There was a lengthy debate on this board and others this past Spring about why Ole Miss softball had gotten immensely better in two years under Mike Smith while we are spinning our wheels with Vann Stuedeman.

Schaefer has built a program that’s better than our men’s program has EVER been, but since it’s girls you’re just going to be an *** about it and not give them the credit they deserve.

Buy like Facebook IPO. I follow them, but talking about it constantly on a message board is 17n lunacy. It's women's f'n basketball.

I'd say SPS has the largest number of women's hoops threads by 1,000% of any college sports board in the country right now. Let that sink in. Losing the egg bowl really crushed our folks

It’s a good product. Knocking off Uconn then playing in the National Championship and now undefeated.

They deserve some attn. Look at their attendance at home if you want to see how people feel about the team.

I just saw the smack talking point. I wouldn’t smack talk Women’s BB but I don’t engage OM fans in any discussion on sports. No point.

Dak Prescott disagrees. So do the Diamond Dawgs. The list goes on. Now, I'm not promoting **** talking for any sport. However, be mindful the precariousness from that lofty perch upon your high horse.

Huge buy.

ETA: I'm not saying we shouldn't enjoy and cheer on their success. I'm just saying that I would never talk **** about a woman's sport and I would laugh at any OM fan that did.

When I saw the video of the crowd at City Grocery cheering on our women to beat UConn last year, it really ruined this entire rivalry. But bless their hearts, they are probably even hungrier for something to hang their hats on than we are.

Oh I totally agree with you. They couldn't care less about women's basketball (they didn't care either when Van Chancellor was the coach and they were good). We wouldn't care either if we weren't a national title contender. I've got no problem with jumping on the bandwagon for a niche sport in good times and and ignoring it in bad times. That's how about 99% of normal people act.

Not necessarily disagreeing with your thought process, but if WBB is niche so is baseball. The small SEC school WBB national title game had more than double the viewers of the big school SEC baseball national title games last year. We don't give up on baseball even in bad years.

If your school builds a powerhouse program in any sport worth watching you should support it for the long run. I think the past few years have shown most of us what Tennessee, UCONN, Baylor, and others have known for years. WBB is not bad to watch. Sure you trade off athleticism and dunks, but you get back a solid team game and a massive reduction in entitlement and stupidity. It's also nice to watch the best players play for four years.

If your once good program really falls off a cliff, like our men's basketball, you piss and moan and don't show up to hold the program accountable. I mean what recourse/reward do you have other than your money for tickets and such? If they are good, you give long term support until you are fed up. This is the way of college sports.

Oh and buy. You don't talk **** about sports with ole miss fans. You talk **** about their general lack of manhood, intelligence, and self-awareness along with their natural instinct to threaten litigation over anything, wear clothes that look like they came from an adult sized OshKosh Bgosh catalog, and their incessant reliance upon "Diddy."

Look, ole miss obviously buys in hard on WBB. Otherwise why would they have brought in a fiery talented genius like Eddie Munster and given him the keys to the Network to bring in such BIG players?**

Who gives a flying 17 what they think? I have many OM friends. We don't talk **** to one another like the old days when we were students. Everyone needs an app that sends you a reminder everyday that reads "victory is fleeting" because success in college athletics in Mississippi will ever ebb and flow. The highs are great (2016 eb) and the lows are wrenching (eb2017). I want om to lose every game they play, but as a lifelong fan, I have learned that the best thing to do is just enjoy the highs and not engage the opposition in argument.

I for one am in a place I never thought possible: enjoying the **** out of WBB. Relish it. Our success will not last forever.

Sell. WBB is easily the 4th best college sport, and miles ahead of #5 (men’s track?). Softball will never reach the popularity of basketball because the sport sucks (slap hitting ruins it for me) and they never shut up with the stupid dugout cheers (almost as annoying as that gator Basketball dude). But WBB is the same sport the men play, and often executed much better. The fact that it’s women playing is losing relevance. It’ll never pass the men, but Its an entertaining sport that stands on its own. I’d be annoyed as hell if Mississippi’s team was as dominant as ours. If their track team was good, I really wouldn’t care.
