Man, ESPN did an article on Mulkey and it was very eye-opening. I have always been a fan and this just totally reinforces it. I hope she has great success at LSU!
Here's the article: https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/32762198/kim-mulkey-crossroads-baylor-lsu-present-why-not-apologizing-it
My favorite little piece of the article:
Quote: |
Morris, who was dismissed from Baylor's team before her sophomore year after being arrested for an altercation, was openly gay as a freshman at Baylor in 2017-18. She transferred to Rutgers, then to Texas A&M, and showed up at LSU this past summer without any promise that Mulkey would add her to the team.
"I came here because I knew I needed that woman in my life," Morris said. "Things she said just stuck with me the whole way through. Plus, the way she teaches the game makes sense to me. And I think I feel the same way she does. I think I'm a misunderstood individual too."
Mulkey hopes she will never say the wrong thing again, but knows she likely will.
"My gut is what I go by," Mulkey said. "I do what I personally think is the right thing to do. It may not come across as politically correct, but my heart is in the right place. It's sometimes taken the wrong way. And, you know, that's fair. I don't want to hurt anybody. We all have our badness. But my good, I hope, will always far outweigh my bad." |

I'm not a particular fan but I am less a fan of Baylor than I am of LSU, if that makes any sense at all. I dislike Baylor intensely for a number of reasons, none of which have to do with Kim, so I guess I'd rather have her in the SEC, even though I'm a Tennessee fan forever.

Very interesting article, and longer than anything else I've read recently, I thought the long form was dead.

Agree - the SEC is looking to return to the top WCBB conference throne again real soon.....[/quote]
Massey had the SEC as the top overall conference a few days ago, but the Texas win over TAMU bumped them down to second behind the Big 12
Edit
I stand corrected - must have had Massey open to an old date - SEC is the top conference per Massey
