Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

CyHig told me this thread is alive because me and other Iowa fans keep bumping. Meanwhile he has probably posted in this thread 50 times more than I have. CC has broke him.
Local radio and tv won't let it end by talking about her every chance they take. I'm so tired of CC coverage being jammed down my throat. Murph and Andy now talk about the WNBA like they are experts. Hopefully once the WNBA season ends the coverage will die down but I'm not holding my breath.
I thought her turnovers were going to go down because she is playing with better players.
You are correct. She just had a coach who would let her do whatever she wanted. She became bigger than the program. She was a great college player but swap her and Bueckers and they both have way different college careers.
I can respect that but at the same time there has never been a time in the history of existence where there have been more options to consume the content you want to. Podcasts, music, tv shows/movies at our fingertips, radio stations, e books, ect. I get it if you feel certain media jam it down your throat but there are so many more options out there.
New Williams and Blum pod has dropped
And you’re correct. Even with kxno, they podcast their shows so you can listen later and skip over anything you’re not interested in. Helps for seeking the murph and Andy pods with Jamie.
Miller & Condon is probably the show I still pod the most living out of market. They cover everything in a no-nonsense way without harping on one thing.
Optimistic take to go down.
I think they will get higher as yes, she is playing against with better players. However, more importantly - she is playing AGAINST better players that better play defense.
As Clark’s reminded, quit hanging out in space on defense, and get back on defense when you creat a turnover.
It's crazy you're still coping from the success an incredible female athlete from Iowa is having.
There is a reason they've had the last two first-round draft picks. They haven't been to the playoffs since 2016 and are 58-174 from 2017-2023. 8 of the 12 teams make the playoffs and haven't been able to do that since 2016.
I would counter that for sports fans like 100% of us participating in this forum likely are, it has been hard to tune CC out. Especially if you live in Iowa. If you are not a sports fan, then yes, many other ways to take in content and not encounter CC. It has gotten better the further removed we get from the Women's NCG and the WNBA draft. Despite the media's best efforts.
How wild would it be if in an effort to get Caitlin back into the state of Iowa, the Fever continue to suck until the owner is forced to sell the team to some ownership group in Des Moines? Let's bring Caitlin home!
Living on the west coast there were maybe 2-3 weeks ever where Clark was "omnipresent" just as a general sports fan. Not really much more than the Purdy mania. Other than this board of course. This thing where it's been two years straight is only for local Iowa fans or the small handful of people for which WBB has been their #1 sport for decades.
I get that. I always suspected it was more brutal for non-Iowa fan Iowans. It's on all the podcasts we listen to, save for CF, KXNO, the local news, local and national commercials, bombards our social media feeds uninvited, and hell, we can't even shop for groceries hardly without running into a cardboard cut out of her.
Forgot to include all the 'woke' dudes wearing her #22 Iowa T-Shirts, as if we're going to forget she exists or something.

Most of that game last night was booooring. Not good ball movement, terrible shooting (they couldn’t even hit their free throws, I thought that was one of the big advantages of the women’s game) … if they hoped airing Indiana Fever games was going to blow up fan interest in the WNBA, they’re going to have to find better games than that.
