Yep. I've been reading about them since GetCocky11 corrected me. That was a bad-arse basketball team.

Still don't know if they went to the White House

Shamefully, I was once married to a Clemson alum


"So a man walks into a bar, and sits down. He starts a conversation with an old guy next to him. The old guy has obviously had a few. He says to the man:

"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No! And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scorching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No! And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"

The old guy looks around, and makes sure that nobody is listening, and leans to the man, and he says:

"but you frick one sheep..."

My bad for my pot shot at you earlier. It was unwarranted. Long morning.

No worries, man. You're one of the 3-4 posters who I wouldn't want to get sideways with

I value your opinion and intelligence

Women are just not gifted with the athletic tools necessary to be good basketball players, at least not using the same rules and rim height as men. Basketball is a niche sport athletically speaking.


#1 They have a definite size and weight difference by statistical mean

#2 They have been playing for a far shorter time


By your logic

HS football = college football = NFL

Clearly there are size and weight differences between these 3 yet folks still turn up to watch games at each level. If you are going to say stupid crap like this at least compare like to like and not apples to oranges.

You're sexist and gross.

Figures. From that inbred hick town of Clemson.

So Glad USC, Columbia, fan base and student body aren't like that.

Yet clearly in the post above I gave you the data that your point is untrue

11,000,000 folks will not fit in Uconn's venue in a single season

Keep deflecting the fact the Taters suck and the Cocks are winners

But that's the point: The best women's players in the world will get dominated by boys.

The WNBA All-Star team would lose by 50 to a playoff caliber 6A Texas men's HS team. They may not score against a college men's team.

Women playing basketball is a square peg in a round hole. It's not just that they aren't as good as men, they're objectively bad at it. Everything they do of a court looks forced and awkward. It takes all their might to hurl a ball to the rim from the three point line. They awkwardly two-hand layup with their strong hand like grade school boys, and many "elite" women's players can't use their off hand to lay up at all. They look down at the ball when they dribble. And on and on.

I got a good laugh outta that, VC.

I should've known better than to marry him in the first place. Gamecocks and taters are like oil and water. We truly do not mix. Incompatible.

Funny, I was at Conseco for the game with ND and I saw no men on the floor.

Just women on women action.

We'll blame it on your nurse's heart, always thinking you can help people and make them better.

Not bad for a sport nobody cares about.

To be fair, the Agitator/Commander in Chief drove a lot of the volume.

Which is sad, because I would really like to know what is going on with this. It's certainly strange

Yeah, those Taters care so little they made all the effort to fill the thing up

Imagine if they ever win a WBB Natty, they will post all day, every day about a sport they profess to care so little about.

Hahaha yes, the cocks are the defending women's basketball champs and we are the defending football champs.

They are definitely the winners

Not even Scar fans are dumb enough to post about a sport that no one cares about. This is literally the only women's basketball thread I have ever seen, and this isn't even about women's basketball it's about Trump not inviting them to the WH
