and which normal male would want to watch this crap?

Well, there's the Sports Illustrated guy who married UConn superstar Rebecca Lobo. The Coach of the UConn Huskies (who provides a lot of players for the WNBA) is also a regular guy, Gino Auriemma, and the girls love him.

Maybe by having a male coach UConn attracts the 2%.


On April 12, 2003, Rebecca changed her last name from Lobo to Lobo-Rushin after marrying Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.[16] They have four children (3 daughters and 1 son). In Steve Rushin's words: "The first words Rebecca Lobo ever spoke to me when we met in a Manhattan bar in 2001 were: 'Aren't you the guy who just mocked women's basketball in Sports Illustrated?' I blushed, broke out in a flop sweat and said, 'Yes.' A few weeks earlier, I had written that although Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have slept with 20,000 women in his lifetime, I had once slept with 7,138 women in a single night: We were all snoring in the stands at a WNBA game. It was an appalling line, and I was eager to change the subject, but Lobo wouldn't let it go. 'We get 15,000 fans at Madison Square Garden,' she said. 'How many women's games have you ever been to, anyway?' Hanging my head in shame, I admitted that I had never attended a women's basketball game before ridiculing it in a national magazine. So she invited me to one of her New York Liberty games, I accepted, and 23 months later we were married."[17]

I was just trying to watch the WBNA last night, and thinking what a snoozefest it was. I’m not so much of a hoops fan anyway, I freely admit, but I certainly won’t be watching more WBNA games!

UCONN Women’s basketball is great fun to watch...101 consecutive victories, 11 National Championships, 4 straight NCAA Championships and this year looks promising for 5 in a row, plus next year looks to be even better.

Is Candice Wiggins the former Candice Parker? She went to Tennessee...I know she had a baby.
