#WNBA, #Fever, and #UofSC Gamecocks fan.

We live on an island of blue that we created in a deep red part of Indiana.

My grand-kitten, shown here, is Shane.

He/him.

One thing I love about the #WNBA is that I enjoy watching everyone perform.

I'm working on a personal Top Ten list, but it's too long for the format here.

Given the shit show we're seeing at 1600 PA Ave, I can understand the anger. I just wish it didn't spill over into this beautiful space.
If you're wondering what to have for supper tonight, while watching #Unrivaled, ...

Philly Cheesesteak!

Duh

I'm ready for some profoundly good news because I'm sick and tired of the bullshit coming from Dear Leader Cheetos, and (more trivially) crazy cold weather and the #WNBA CBA stalemate.

Multiple choice:

Without reading the team name, which is the new jersey for the Portland Fire?

(Sigh!)

Generally, I love Chelsea "Point Gawd" Gray. But something about her demeanor last night did not sit well with me.

Ya know, it's probably just me - yesterday was a pissy day.

How much is gate at Sephora Arena for an #Unrivaled game?

Here's an estimate

Capacity is "over 1000." Let's say it is 1000

For the Jan 31 game (see image, from Ticketmaster), it look like half the seats go for about $250, and half are about $150

500 x ( $150 + $250 ) = $200,000

Probably more

The announcers on #Unrivaled just referred to Cameron Brink as "KelliCam". I did not realize she was a Klingon distance measurement.

Here is a link to my Google Sheet of all the #Unrivaled players, including their number, college, and 2025 WNBA team.

I would love to add their hometowns (I may, yet).

Lemme know if you find mistakes.

How much more hypocrisy, and now many more murders, must we endure?

It's a letdown to see the modest crowd in Miami for the #Unrivaled double header, after watching so many high energy games in #NCAAWBB (e.g., full house in Columbia, SC, and the CRAZY crowd in Berkeley)

Why is the Unrivaled arena so damn small?!? High school atenas here in Indiana are way bigger.

#UofSC Gamecocks demolished the previously unbeaten Vanderbilt Commodores.

The team we saw this afternoon is the team that could beat UConn.

I hope we get to see that game: The Gamecocks we saw today versus the Huskies' team we've seen so many times already this year.

2026 #WNBA season: 44 games per team over 139 days. On average: 3.16 days between games

But there is a 3-week World Cup break near season end

(139-21) / 44 = 2.68 days btw games - the same average time btw games as '25

I guess injuries are not a consideration for Cathy & co., yet

There are some team names in #NCAAWBB that are kinda stupid.

I'll start with my Gamecocks. They tried "Lady Gamecocks" for a while, but that was even stupider.

The Presbyterian Blue Hose. Say it out loud (but not in front of the kids).

I'm also not fond of "Lady Vols."

Others?

Can someone explain why my Gamecocks and Texas just swapped places on the NCAA NET rankings? #UofSC beat Texas this week, so I'm confused.

Yeah, there's the powder-puff win over over Copin State, and the Texas win was in Columbia. Is that the thing that does it?

Pick a fight with Courtney?!? You are officially and forever on my shit list.

The QB for Indiana, Fernando Mendoza, and the "QB" for the Mist BC, Allisha Gray, both wear № 15. And they are playing at the same time, in the same city!

Coincidence??

Miami is the place to be tonight. The #CFP game btw Indiana and Miami is 12 miles from the #Unrivaled Sephora arena.

Yay for multi-view!

When in type Kelsey, I usually get the auto-correct suggestion "Mitchell." But sometimes it's "Plum." I think it's correlated with barometric pressure, or something...

FYI (for those of you who haven't been to a basketball game in the Raleigh/Durham area), Reynolds Colleseum, the home floor for the women's basketball team at NC State, is *very* similar in architecture to Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke.

I'd love to be there right now!

I'm a Gamecock fan since birth. But I love everything about the Texas team: Rori, Madison, Kyla, ...

I'll even let Vic's inane comment, about the SEC having it out for them with the scheduling, slide.

"Raven ... wins!" That's how Dawn Staley describes Ms. Johnson's strength

Neither Texas nor UofSC can make shots or hold onto the ball. Bad!

Either of these teams MIGHT be able to beat UConn in the tournament, but not if they play like this.

The "5-second, closely guarded" call has got to go. It's a holdover from when there was no shot clock.

In fact, some say that it was John Roche ( #UofSC, 1968-71) who the reason for this rule
