I still have to say winning 90 games straight in women's isn't as impressive as coach wooden's record for men. The fact of the matter is there is much more parody between teams. Such as the 82 to 11 game last night. UConn does play some fairly decent teams OOC however. (Unlike the big 10 men's teams who play upstate michigan panhandle communiity college).

Still an impressive record no doubt. Just not as big as ESPN kept hyping up the thing to be.

It's not like the level of parody in men's basketball was particularly great when UCLA went on their 88-game winning streak. It was bad, but it's a little worse in womens hoops now.

Suffice it to say that I have very direct knowledge of this subject matter and I will leave it there.

And for the record, ESPN could throw up color bars for a half hour and still pull numbers. They have no discernible competition.

Or devote 5 hours a day to Michelle Beadle and her retarded show.

let's turn this thread into something more interesting, like bashing ESPN. Can you believe the monopoly they've got on bowl games this year? This network has grown into a monster as competition has been snuffed out or made insignificant (FSN, CBS CS, etc). They pretty much own the NCAA at this point.

Not to mention NCAA BBall Preseason Tournaments.

unless when they are playing actual sports on their network, espn is near unwatchable. pti used to be good but they agree 90% of the time now. 1 and 10 had potential but skip bayless is annoying. sports nation is an embarassment. other than that, we get 13 sportscenters. and that isn't even watchable anymore.


as for womens basketball? whats happening? uconn is only missing 40% of their layups as opposed to the rest of womens basketball missing 70%?
