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.

Can someone explain to me how anyone at ESPN could think that commercial makes the women's game more appealing to viewers?

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

I can't imagine that a substantial part of the demographic you're alluding to sees Sylvia Hatchell and says,"Ooh, I've got to see more of her. What time do those games start?"

Where's Melissa Hamburger? She could shed some light on this topic.

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.
