I missed this along the way, but my super Alison Lacey fan and daughter picked up on it right away in HyVee. She's on the front of the box with last year's WNBA Championship team. Even gets a short mention in the text on the back.

Is it like this one? My daughter discovered boys and seems to have lost interest in Lacey.
No, it looks like an official team photo in uniform. Thankful, no boy issues here yet.
Wrong. I am somebody, and I care, along with several thousands of other Cyclone WBB fans!

Odd thing to post at 1:30 AM less than two hours after the previous post in this thread.
If "nobody" cares about ISU WBB, then "nobody" cares about any ISU sport that isn't FB or MBB. WBB is #3 in average attendance, total attendance, and ticket revenue at ISU.
Please don't quote idiots and/or ********. They may be on somebody's ignore list.
Ummmmm. that guard sure looks like Sue Bird
Not sure they would feature an unknown bench-warmer like Lacey. (and I love Alison Lacey)
Lacey had an awful season shooting as a rookie reserve last year, and is now in her home town this past winter/spring in Australia playing more mediocre basketball.
I hope she gets her act together

I hope you get your act together.
Lets talk about the mediocre life that you apparently live if you have time to sit on here and talk like that about someone you don’t know.Its very easy to sit back as a spectator and make comments about what people should do. Your life is obviously not in the public eye so we dont have the opportunity to make posts about your performance.
Im going to go ahead and assume your performance with whatever you do in your life is mediocre. Im sure it is easy for you to sit on here and ridicule young people but perhaps you should take the time you put into this message board into something else. All the athletes at ISU are young and are learning.
How dare anyone on this website talk negatively about them. You have NO idea what is going on with them in their real lives (not the lives you see in the media) Maybe the next time someone feels like discussing performance in a negative way, when they themselves have no idea about the individuals they are talking about.. perhaps you could think about how you would feel if there was a message board about your performance where people could discuss it having little to no information about circumstances.
Yes, how dare anyone critique an athlete's performance. Let's all sit around and talk about sunshine and rainbows. It's not like this is a discussion board or anything.
Whether you agree with the above poster or not, it's certainly a valid opinion. The poster was not insinuating that Alison is a bad person, simply suggesting that last season she did not exhibit the capability to play at the top level. That opinion is tough to argue, considering the amount of playing time she was able to get, and the statistics posted during those times she did play. We're all Cyclone fans and hope for the best, but I strongly doubt any athlete playing professional basketball would consider 4-35 shooting "successful". Alison is young, and has some learning ahead of her. To insinuate otherwise is simply not seeing the big picture.
I see this is your first post. Are you familiar with the workings of message boards? Because if you're going to react this way to other things on this board, I'd have to tell you that this is pretty mild. If you get this worked up over a comment like that, you may want to avoid the rest of the board, lest you succumb to shock.
I am well aware of how a messageboard works. I am also aware that the post was not insulting Alison Lacey as a person, just her performance. I cant react in any way I would like. Was I worked up? I dont think so, maybe just stating a fact from a different point of view. Anyone who doesnt like my posts which will be standing up for the athletes may want to avoid reading them. The only point I was trying to make was next time all you people who love to write negative things on these forums, maybe step back and realize how you would feel if your performance and some parts of your life were put up on a discussion to write about.
When funnily enough most people who are posting on these boards have little to no athletic capability. What these athletes do is hard, and until you experience everything they go through you have no right to criticize them.
It is very easy to sit in the comfort of our own homes and say things about other people. No one knows what it is like to be in another persons shoes. Therefore maybe we should not comment so harshly and instead sit back and think about how we would feel if we were on the receiving end of these comments.
I understand this is what message board is about, and this is what people want to discuss. I have sat back and read these forums for many years, and finally I could no longer sit back and allow people to comment on people whom none of you really know anything about. These athletes who are actually REAL and YOUNG people need someone to stand up for them. Maybe this is a little too serious of a post, but people have to realize that these athletes are aware of these forums and until you can fo their job better than they can , perhaps keep your opnions to yourself or even better not be so cowardly and post it on a message board.
#40 in the second row is Lacey. Besides, I'm not sure when you picture 11 players in uniform and the coaching staff that you can say they are "featuring" any of them...
