Sipping on a Volunbeer lager. Not bad.

She's older than you, correct? I'm sure that she did. There was a lot of ignorant BS going on around then about girls playing sports. (unlike now )

Yeah now they have to play men

[VolNExile]

Wow! Never heard that one before.

It was too physiologically demanding to expect girls to be able to run all the way from one goal to the other and back again. Darn good thing that we don't have to give birth to babies. Oh, wait.

Coach Pat Head testifies about half-court BB, and then puts the heat on TSSAA

My mother coached a girls team in the late 60s/ early 70s. Full court. Odd. Gonna have to ask her about that.

Which state? Our PE had us playing half-court in Virginia (mid-60's) and *I think* Hawaii (maybe 1967.) I do remember having to stop dead at the half-court line, waiting for the ball to come back to us. So visualize scrambling around, doing this and that, and then the ball leaves your area, and you just stand there.

I wish the Commercial Appeal article had included dates (geeze, people, IS THAT SO FREAKING HARD?!), because there were a ton of changes going on in the late 60's.

The girls were 2 to 3 years older than I. Choyya B. was a blonde bombshell to me.

And I'm guessing taller, too?

 

[malinoisvol]

And them shorts...

Steve Hamer!!!

Was there really a Steve Hamer sighting? as opposed to a random brain fart.

No judging here, random brain farts are a familiar thing in my life.

And?

 

[82_VOL_83]

Nvm, another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Well, that’s a disappointing start.

 

[VolNExile]

Well, that’s a disappointing start.

Is it just me (probably), or does it seem that in recent years, both men’s and women’s teams seem to spend a lot of time and games gelling? Shouldn’t they have gotten into some sort of familiarity and rhythm by the time the season starts?

I don’t know if there was some sort of recent change in the rules for pre-season practice time.

 

[volwindy]

And?

I fell asleep...looks like I missed Ohio State fans storming the court.
