| I knew I couldn't be the only one that found that to be unpleasant to the eyes and ears. 
That old gal has the John Wooden ear look going on, too.

| The response I'm thinking of is probably borderline inappropriate, so I'll refrain from saying it.

What time do those games start?" | |

| Every NCAA Women's tourney commercial has that clip in it. That is the bad thing. | |

| I remember being on an elevator at the Student Services Bldg. with a mixed crowd (men and women). A senior administrator (name withheld) made the comment that more people would come to the Ladyvols games if they played in bikini's. Of course, there was an awkward silence.
I was surprised no one file a grievance against the guy.
