Damn, is this woman amazing, or what? Three consecutive national championships, two consecutive Naismith Player of the Year awards, and stuffing Pat Summitt's frosty mug yet again! Talk about intensity...I love it!
There is no purer major sport anymore than women's collegiate basketball. No egos, no phi slamma jamma, no BS...just women playing the game the way Dr. Naismith intended. It is beautiful, and the gals at UConn are the bomb. Ever since I layed eyes on Jennifer Rizzoti back in 1995, I have been in love with UConn gals. Diana Taurasi is tops, though. What a performer! This woman wills her team to win like Michael Jordan did. So, of course, I want to nail her.
I am not usually into tall, athletic women (with two exceptions, and one of them will read this). However, Diana is the best. Here's to the Lady Huskies, and to you, Diana...you rock!
I agree with your assessment of girls hoops... a tremendous sport.
Men's basketball has a physical intesity to it that takes some of the focus away from passing, play calling, quality jumpers... Shaq has the height and the brawn to fix whatever's wrong on the way to the hoop, so less need to get it right along the way.
Women's basketball relies more on straegy, play-making, passing, and ball handling, and if you've read my past posts then you know I'm all about quality ball handling! ;^)
Sorry to see the Gophers come up short, they don't have the complete game like U Conn, but the quality of passing... OMG, Truly unbelievable for any level of play. Looked as much like art as like sport.
BTW... "This woman wills her team to win like Michael Jordan did. So, of course, I want to nail her." --Kind of implies you wanted to nail MJ too! ;^)
Just because I want to fuck women doesn't mean I want to fuck Pat Summitt, ya know? Nice analogy, but MJ is not my type. Now, Trent Reznor, on the other hand...or Andy Garcia... :P
I was all set to sic NetMichelle on this thread - tear you to pieces for talking about these basketball women! But, you mentioned Andy Garcia, and somehow..I got distracted..
I only like horse racing and hockey. I am kinda oblivious to everything else. I bet she has nice firm long fingers though. I'll check her out. Back in a jiffy.
A while back Sedona had a cute thread about baseball lingo's application to the hobby... Got me thinking about using basketball lingo in the same way. So far, I've come up with nearly obvious alterior meanings for...
possession arrow three men in the lane (yowza) 5 second violation 20 second time out (I remember when that was about all I needed!) chest pass goaltending charging point guard double dribble cross and back hanging on the rim
Seeing a battle for the farthest long jump or the highest pole vault, each attempt bettering the last...
Watching the discus skip across the field after landing past the farthest marked ring.
My personal favorite is the Women's 400 hurdles or the plain 400. They start bent over in the blocks. If you position yourself at about ten feet behind the finish line you get a perfect view of all of the high bred hard booties.
Then the race is on and you can tell by who jumps first which is in the lead, or, in the 400 you can tell by the third turn who is sucking the rest up like a slurpee. Then, the finish, and they're bent over again, facing away from you, catching their breath, with those little lycra shorty shorts all crunched up in their cootchies.
*GRIN*.. pretty soon they start the YANK to get the shorts back into position.
just thinking of that ending kinda got me hot, Elise. What IS this thing I seem to have for sweaty females? :P
I have to say that track & field is (IMO) actualyl more pure than women's collegiate basketball even. However, it is unfortunately not considered one of the "majors". IMO, the majors in this country are the big four with teams and TV contracts and playoffs and the like...football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. However, I have so much respect for any atheletes outside of these sports, as they do it mostly for love of the sport. You have to respect that type of passion.
Thanks for making me want to drive by a college track and watch practice, okay, Elise?
