Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

I'm not going anywhere.

Other than 1 or 2 knobs who went to Crazytown a while ago, I get on pretty well with most on here and don't take this stuff too serious. I got a little carried away in this thread mostly because the adolescent in me thought it funny how much she triggers some. Couldn't resist. Kind of like how I my wife giggles anytime she sees my "wiener."
I can do adolescent too.

Brommelkamp this morning on the radio in eastern Iowa was off his rocker.

Said there will never be another player like CC…. and that EVERYONE needs to watch what she does when she hits the 3 to set the record…. she smiles briefly, then glances up at her family quick, and then immediately finds the player she’s guarding and defends her! Says that’s just how she plays the game.

OMG…. go ahead and praise her all you want…. but don’t make up false s**t about her. She’s awful at getting back on defense. One of the worst aspects of her game.
She did none of that.

Yeah, I’m not gonna be too critical of Clark - she’s a fantastic talent and had a great overall game last night - but Brommelkamp is (as usual) completely delusional.

She takes the shot; watches it go in; turns, shouts, and flexes to the crowd (on the camera side of the court, I believe opposite of where her family was sitting, but I could be wrong); after her momentary celebration then she searches for the player she’s supposed to be guarding (definitely on the opposite side of the court).
 
I used to listen to Brommelkamp on the way home from work. He was, and probably still is, really knowledgeable about baseball and I enjoyed that. He's always been a delusional homer, but otherwise he was listenable. Once he had his tantrum when he was denied press passes from Iowa State to the Sweet 16 I couldn't take him anymore. I even put up with and made it through his moaning when the Michigan State gymnastics sex assault stuff was going on and he would say he couldn't believe it because it was a Big 10 school and they are above any wrongdoing. I can't imagine how batshit he's been through the basketball season this year.

You didn't give two sh*ts about Iowa WBB before CC came along.... and you know it.

Iowa fans used to give ISU fans crap all the time about how much they loved ISU WBB. Iowa fans told us ALL the time that WBB didn't matter. Interesting how things have changed!
I love the ISU fans have been women's basketball fans long argument.
Pete and CC can't be compared. If you are going to make that comparison, you will need to move all of CC three pointers to 2 pointers. She wouldn't even sniff Pete if that were the case. It's 2 different games at that point. Nothing to see here.
Comparing the two is silly, CC doesn't put up 38 shots per game.
 
HS wrestling coverage seems to be really down this just my opinion maybe my local high schools didn't send as many kids.

There's also not much left in the way of "local" media for the small-town kids. And the ones that do still exist can now sit at home and watch the whole thing instead of spending money to go to DSM.

Is it just me or does Sear’s have a punchable face. The dude just said she is like 99 or so points away from breaking Maravich’s NCAA record. WTF? Iowa fans/grads are so enamored with CC they live in a fantasy world (See Keith Murphy) the fail to grasp the obvious.

He as a sports reporter fails miserably at doing his job. :puke:

She will break his pts record, but it needs some of these ******************

No Sears has a very punchable face. I've switched to WOI for local news. They do a decent job on weather and sports. They don't pander to Iowa near as much ad 13 or 8. Not sure where Garcia came from but she actually responded to a email I sent to her about ISU coverage.
 
My cousin who is a bandwagon CC fan started talking about the Pistol Pete record. I had to remind him Pete would have easily had a couple thousand more points with today’s rules.
Pete only played three seasons, as well. CC could play as many as five seasons. There's no comparison on the per game average and like you said they didn't have three-pointers.

Sometimes for kicks when I am in the CR area, I’ll switch to Brommelkamp. He’s very boring to listen to. Outside of bowling and interviewing the former Iowa wrestler, he’s an echo chamber.
