Kara Wolters

Ooops I misunderstood the original post. The friend's Mom was 6". I thought you meant the friend's mom was KW. Now I got it.

I always thought Wolters had the same game as Chief from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

I traveled last year and Rebecca Lobo was sitting at the gate right across from me. Then I got on the plane and she was sitting in the seat directly in front of mine. I'm a huge UConn Women's hoops fan. I left her alone.

Might as well digress to make this relevant to the Men's board. Kara's dad, Willie Wolters was a force on the blocks for Boston College (gag) in the 1960's. Dec 10th 1966 they beat UConn 87-69 then they knocked us out of the ncaa tournament on March 11th, 1967 48-42 before they got beat in the East regional finals by North Carolina. Toby Kimball was gone but Bill Corley was the center and Penders & Wes in the back court with Holowaty. I lived and died with radio broadcasts at the time. "Stops, Pops, Swish" (Was it George Erlich?) Wolters scored 7 pts in the ncaa game. Clearly Willie felt terrible about doing us badly and sent us Kara to make up for it. The books say he was 6'8 but I always remembered 6'10 that I prefer. There, now Kara is connected to men's BBall and the thread can stay?

They're from the same town as my buddy and the entire family always stood in front of my friend and his family at church back in the day. He always said the dad was 6'10 and it's a family of giants. The things you remember.

Right. We all needed to hear your boring story of how you didn’t recognize a 6’10” Lady Huskies icon.

Thanks for the story, I liked it.

I guess, I mean if he was an All American who had won a NCAA championship, a WNBA championship and an Olympic gold medal, then sure, great comparison.

[Deadrody]

Yes, she's much taller than 6'

Not sure why anyone bashes our women. My favorites include Sue, Diana, Maya, Brianna, Swinlanda, Jen, Rebecca, Kara..... and many more, too many to name. Great ambassadors for the school, and I enjoy watching them win Olympic Gold every our years.

You were on quite a roll there until you got to Swin. Her full name is Swintayla.

 

[Horatio]

Yeah, Kara is involved in local girls AAU. It’s good to see.

 

[Dove]

Why, and who are the other two?

She came in as a lunk. Improved incredibly.

1. Tamika Williams
2. DT
3. Kara Wolters

Glad you are finally able to get that off your chest.

Dad was Willie Wolters, played for BC.

Yeah, but her Scandinavian theme park is named Swinlandia

Diana is still lighting up the W at age 40 (and shares my birthday). Legend.

Kara is pretty good too.

I believe when the Women won in 1995, they played the semifinal and final back to back with no day of rest. That must have been especially tough for Kara.

They crushed Stanford on April 1. Beat Tennessee on April 2.

Kara dominated the Stanford game. I think she had 32 points and we won by about that margin.

You weren't under any obligation to read the post.

Deepster is like this on the cess pool only infinitely worse. Everyone hates him.

 

[Husky pride]

Great story on a UConn Women’s star who brought so much enjoyment to the UConn faithful! Thanks for taking the time to share. It’s a post welcomed on ANY UConn forum!!

Agree to disagree.

 

[Chief00]

Let's hear about the 1% then!

Any chance are you referring to Diana’s cockiness? That always brought a smile to Chief’s face because it was part of Diana’s winning formula, but I get why it might offend some well meaning Casual Fans.

1. Tamika Williams

Tamika is one of Chief’s favorites.

I lived in Hilltop. Rebecca Lobo would always hang out with Paul Duckworth in the cafeteria. I always left her alone too. This is a story about a little girl that plays basketball meeting a basketball HOFer. Kara was very kind. I am not a women's basketball fan at all. I hope the 6th title improves your outlook, since it can't help your judgment.
