Women Bball Rebuke Fans

[Y&Brit]

So today an article in the Daily Universe (not seen by many) about the women's basketball team focused on how awful the fan support has been, and the fact that they have a good record and their games are: "more exciting than most men teams"

Before you even think about laughing here's more:
"People think of girls basketball as really boring, but we have a team that has fast transitions and we have good fundamentals"


This reminds me of a Futurama episode when the crew lands on a planet ruled by female giants and they say quote:

"We no can dunk, but have good fundamentals. That's more fun to watch"
It was like reading about one of my favorite episodes.

Okay, here's the reasons I don't go to women's basketball, despite the fact they focus on fundamentals.

1-They have great accuracy shooting sure, but I can do things they can't. I'm more impressed aesthetically by watching men bust out moves and competition that I couldn't personally bring. Women look think think act, which isn't fun to watch.

2-I was so angered by being 'forced' to go to a women's game to get my utah game tickets a couple years ago, I'll never go again just because of that, as well as reason 1.



Sorry ladies, I always want you to win, and beat Utah, but that's as far as it goes. You complained that New Mexico and Wyoming gets lots of fans, as well as TCU, but keep in mind TCU is mostly girls in school, Wyoming has lots of perverts, and New Mexico fans get in free, and besides ballooning there isn't much else to do there.

I recall my freshman year challenging 3 of BYU's starters to a game 2 on 3 and, yeah they were embarrassed. Girls ball may be exciting in certain situations but the lack of jumping at any point in the game and overall dearth of athleticism just puts me to sleep.

Sorry ladies. I'll cheer your scores, positive record, and accomplishments but it's hard to find the motivation to get out to a women's basketball game no matter what lever we are talking about.

More exciting than men's bball? That's kinda where they lost me.

Here's how "fundamental" the girls game is:

Turnovers per game: BYU 17.0 Opp 18.7
FG PCT: BYU .438 Opp .374
3P PCT: BYU .362 Opp .292
FT PCT: BYU .655 Opp .687

Sorry girls, you can argue all you want about being "fundamental" but your stats don't back that up. Your style of play doesn't back that up. You fail the "eye test" when it comes to good basketball because it simply isn't.

Here's how "fundamental" the girls game is:

Turnovers per game: BYU 17.0 Opp 18.7
FG PCT: BYU .438 Opp .374
3P PCT: BYU .362 Opp .292
FT PCT: BYU .655 Opp .687

Here's where those stats for BYU would rank in the MWC on the men's side:

Turnovers per game: Last (by more than one TOPG)
FG PCT: 6th (tied w/ AF and WYO)
3P PCT: 3rd (behind BYU and UNM) so actually not too bad
FT PCT: 6th (tied w/ CSU and WYO)

It's like watching an MMA fight between 115 pounders. Sure they are technically sound, but they're not going to knock each other out and I could probably finish them in the first round. Yawn!

Couldn't legislation bring equality here?

[BroncoBot]

Don't give our representatives any ideas. They wold surely attempt to redistribute the fan base so that equal fans would be attending both women's and men's games.

I would rather shoot myself in the kneecap than go to a women's basketball game.
