How about those Rutgers dames! You gotta believe they can take it all, youngsters or not.
Carolina-Barrelina, Tennessee-Wannasee…who cares about them, they got nothing but a name. Bring ’em on. It’s the Scarlett Knights of Rutgers that they should fear. GO RUTGERS!
P.S. I am out in LV on business, watched them play from the Hard Rock Hotel bar….but I should have put my money where my mouth is! I was telling everyone around me that I knew two avid fans and season ticket holders! :-)

The game was ugly. They’ll have to do better to get by LSU.

LSU’s Fowles (a true 5), Carolina’s Latta (a true 2), and Tennesee’s Redding (a true 4) are the imho the keys to the game. RU matches up pretty well.
Luckily, RU only has to face two of the three.
LSU Fowles beat UCONN single-handedly. But UConn doesn’t have 5. Gino goes small and fast. RU can’t afford to double her and Kia Vaughn will have her hands full. She has to stay out of foul trouble and contain Fowles.
It’s possible. That’s why they play the games. But, it’s no lock.

BTW did you see Corzine with his RU shirt as the #1 fan. Arghhh. Trust a politician to find a parade to get in front of!

Nahh, it’s only one rabid fan. I just go to be social able. It’s Frau who is living her fantasy of what could have been. Damn she was good in her prime. I only got to see her play once before the quad separation and she was a deadly shooter. Her brother told me she was “better” in high school. Hard to believe. Forty years before her time. It’s sad. She might have been Nancy Lieberman. Like Rocky, “I coulda been a contender”. At least, she has a fantasy. All I have is my blog. ;-) (Although I am getting 200 readers per day.)

Thanks, Lane. As “subway alumni”, Frau and I were both surprised at the performance turned in by the RU women. Clearly they played superb in the first half, and well enough in the first half or the second half (i.e., third quarter i they did it by quarters), that the LSU players were mentally beaten. When my wife coached the 6-7-8 girls, she used to say that the game was one or lost in the third quarter. That’s when the team mental thinks they can or can’t win in the last quarter. That’s what I saw last night. IMHO the game will revolve around Tennesee’s Redding versus RU’s Heather Zurich. Heather doesn’t have to “kill” her; just contain. We’ll see.

As a born and raised LSU Fan (though I went to Nichols State – “Harvard on the Bayou” – but I digress). Let me offer the Rutgers women props for the win. Good luck versus Tennessee!
