Wherever I go, there I am.
I could swear I heard the same thing. I had a momentary WTF? and then just assumed I heard it wrong.
She said it multiple times...I just wasn't sure if she was saying it in a way to suggest that the Big 12 wasn't a major conference or something else. I had no idea ISU was a mid major!

OU Gymnastics is their most accomplished sport. Lots of recent national championships. Thanks to Iowa State's K.J. Kindler. Grumble, grumble, grumble.
I don't disagree. Then keep gymnastics in Norman and move basketball if they get to host. It's not like they have much of a following for WBB anymore.

I think we can put that one in the kick ass and take names category. Could not happen to a better team and coach than OU

Great win Cyclones
She was so jacked up I thought her eye linter was going to fly off. I don't remember here being this animated at Drake. Must be misremembering?

An Audi dealership in Des Moines needs to have her as spokes person :)
Very off topic, but this reminds me of a woman who worked at ISU years ago in the Alumni Assoc office I believe (?).

This woman's name was Rhonda and her home town was Fonda IA. Of course, the car she drove was a Honda. Honda ended up doing a commercial about Rhonda from Fonda who drove a Honda. :)

I thought I was the only one staring at the eye liner. Thought she might be auditioning for WHO news. Every time I see their commercials on Jeopardy, I think about how much the heavy dark eye makeup ages people. I suppose they don’t want to be washed out under the lights, but the players look fine without it.

I will say Sheryl Swoopes could not say enough good things about Audi today, even kept calling her big girl. I remember thinking that if we were the losing team, I'd be pissed that the announcers said very little about our team. They did, but the accolades for Audi and Co. just overwhelmed the rest.
I didn't think I'd like Swoops as a commentator but, she's been good and very complementary of Audi and ISU. Lobo in the studio was too

She made some comments in her presser that make me believe she is not overly excited about going to the SEC.

Did you see the LSU/South Carolina players getting into it? Lots of talent but some poor leadership examples. That probably swung a lot when Mulkey went over.

If you were in attendance: what was the attendance and ratio? Better venue than the previous site?

Anyone can correct me, during the ISU game, it was more than 60% ISU fans, the rest ALL the other fans. (OU, KState, Teja$)

And with ISU playing Teja$ and not KState, and the mass migration down I-35, the Cyclone fans will definitely outnumber any other fans.

I did, and Jennie will have to recruit at a higher level to succeed in the SEC. Her PG and post players will get eaten alive in the SEC.

Maybe, but it seems incongruous about the slight above "Four Major Conferences" and now the top team in the BIG12 players couldn't handle the SEC "pitbulls?" The SEC is up having USC and LSU just like when UCONN in the BIG EAST was dominating. and when Baylor was with Griner. But Okie should not be that far out of line with mid to upper teams in the SEC and if things trend down there they should be even more SEC worthy.
