if other coaches and other fans would admit he's a genius with swag and charisma the WCBB world would be a better place... he's a LEGEND!

'You're immediately on his terms. And his terms are in another stratosphere, a place where the cords are cut and the air is impossibly thin, but there is no lid on the sky"

As I said earlier in the thread - articulate and a hottie!

You are right - I stand corrected. (Geez - I even went to school there, and you hate OU.) Anyway, according to Wiki, Sherri has increased average attendance form 65 (yes, 65 people per game) to 6500.

Dang, I must be old. Used to watch the lady huskies when there were less than 65 watching in the old field house.

Check out our championship game against her. Count the number of times the camera goes on her vs. Geno. And I would have to say he is a reasonably good looking guy.

Probably a matter of the control room knowing their audience. How many guys want to stare at Auriemma?

Sonny seems to be one... give me Coale, Ivey, even Muffett at time and Ms Listen

Regarding Ms. Lister: I can't help noticing--purely from the standpoint of intellectual curiosity--that she wears a different outfit each game. Given that she's a grad assistant, I wonder how she affords this. Do you think some clothing shop supplies her in exchange for publicity of some sort?

Jus' wonderin'.

not to be funny but I dont think those dresses/outfits cost much... shoes and accessories may be more, who know... good looks can make anything look good and expensive.
OR as you mentioned she could be modeling for someone

Or that's just where her priorities are, like many women who would rather starve then be seen in the same outfit twice.

In any event, I would say she wears them well.

Make no mistake; I wasn't complaining.

and Courtney Paris was close to being a UConn player coming out of HS... UConn may have backed off

Cool - 4 years of Sherri!

My understanding ' was that Courtney would come to UConn if they would also include her sister on scholarship. UConn said 'NO'', Oklahoma said, 'Yes'. I also believe Courtney stuck her foot in her mouth when she said. If Oklahoma did not win the National Championship, she would return all her scholarship tuition costs to the University. As for that promise, it end up as a, ' Bunch of Baloney'.

I believe the Paris twins wanted to both have a high chance of starting, Ashly was a Top 6 kid coming out of high school.

Hate, but love to hate. That makes it better, right?

No problemo - If you hate us that means at least we have your attention

I went to school on the OU campus with the US Navy. Also went to OSU, OCU, and Okla State (cowboys orange and black).
Sherri Coale to me is a super duper wonderful caring lady. Send her a note--she is never too busy to answer in her own hand.
Stacey--a true Okie (that is not disrepectful ) a true Sooner, and a pretty fair country singer. -I lived in UConn (no no it was Yukon, Okla...just up Mustange rd) Nice people and real West people. .

I remember when the local joke was the ---OU football team was on the honor system---Yes your honor, no your honor!!

Still pretty much that way - Sooners rank # 5 in number of player arrests over the past 5 years (behind #1 Washington State and 3 SEC teams)
