the coaches did not pick her. What a joke, she was clearly the best player in the conference. She is the 5th Hawkeye in program history to win the award and the 1st to do so since 1998
Anything decided by judges is a popularity contest, nothing more.She had like 26 double doubles. Who else does that? Ridiculous, IMO. People and their agendas!

I agree! What a joke by the coaches!
AMEN!!!! Folks that get all bent out of shape over the results from prom king voting type of awards just crack me up. Who freaking cares. We on one hand try to teach our kids to 'be themselves' and don't care what others think' yet we enter them in beauty pageants and air 2 hour long award shows for movies, music, sports you name it. Society really blows my mind sometimes when I stop and think about it.Anything decided by judges is a popularity contest, nothing more.
From the AP top 25, figure skating, and the CFP to the Dick Butkus Award, none of them are worth hen shit on a pump handle.
If it isn’t decided by some kind of points system, how fast/how long/how many times you can do something, or who’s left standing at the end, it isn’t a sport—it’s a pageant.
Sorry gymnastics, I’m looking at you. I fully realize I can do about three pull-ups tops, but six judges telling us that your pommel horse dismount was 8.2 units of pretty is less of a sport than a spelling bee.
What do you expect when you start women’s basketball threads on a men’s basketball forum, especially one where 99% of the posters don’t watch it or care about it? Are you honestly surprised? Because I find that hard to believe.Again another thread blown up!
Well Fryowa I understand you think women's basketball is beneath the men's program. What you don't seem to understand is it says BASKETBALL A discussion of Iowa's basketball programs. Now just what part of that don't you understand? The basketball forum isn't labeled MEN'S FORUM.What do you expect when you start women’s basketball threads on a men’s basketball forum, especially one where 99% of the posters don’t watch it or care about it?

It’s cool that Iowa has a good player and all, but almost no one here pays attention to WBB. Just look at the game threads you guys have. There’s only three of you that post, wouldn’t it just be easier to group text each other?
Hahaha. I can't get into womens hoops either. It's just terrible to watch. What's worse then college womans hoops? HS womans hoops. The only thing worse then HS womans hoops is JR high womans hoops...What do you expect when you start women’s basketball threads on a men’s basketball forum, especially one where 99% of the posters don’t watch it or care about it?

I think Rob or Jon needs to be judge and jury on this subject.I would like to hear what they think of all of this. Maybe we need a women's forum, IDK? I'm not a huge supporter of women's hoops, mainly because UCONN has ruined the sport. But, this year seems special for the Iowa women, mainly because of Megan.What do you expect when you start women’s basketball threads on a men’s basketball forum, especially one where 99% of the posters don’t watch it or care about it?

Not true. I just don't care about it. There's a difference.Well Fryowa I understand you think women's basketball is beneath the men's program.
You're playing semantics. You love the reaction anyway when you post game threads without saying it's a women's game. That's why you and your pal @ClintonIAfan do it. To get a reaction and then you bitch about the reaction.What you don't seem to understand is it says BASKETBALL A discussion of Iowa's basketball programs.
