Jaye, I love your response. You were one of the few people that I acually thought was a true fan with some real insight. I never said I supported MM. I never said fans didn't have a right to criticize. And most of all YOU were not one of the people I was talking about. I do find it interesting that you took my observations personally. I have gone back and read almost all of the posts for the last year. I am not much of a blogger, but I couldn't take the negativity of this site. This is a negative board with lots of finger pointing. As far as being a fan of Shalee......guilty. But I am also a huge fan of many other players in this league, and especially Latta. I just find it interesting that so much time is spent on the negative. This team has had an incredible turn around, and I think the current team deserves all the credit. I think the final straw, was when I came on here last night, and read the post about January. I am from the west coast. I follow the PAC 10 quite closely. January is an incredible player, and certainly rose to the occassion last night. However, outside of scoring, she too has had her shortcommings on the floor, and I find it ridiculous that after one great performance, people suggest that she would be better for our team than what we already have. The proof is in the pudding so to speak......regardless of what we think.......the team performed much better this year than last.......what they may or may not do with all the "ifs" that are thrown around on this board is yet to be seen. I just wish we could focus on what "is".....most of which has been quited positive this year....the second best turnaround in history..

fair enough....i didn't really take it personally.....just objected to what i thought the tone was.....and if you think this board is negative....visit some of the others....ny and sass for example....it's what fans do....it's very much a case of "what have you done for me lately".....
i've got a question for you....if you had an adult child that was doing absolutely nothing with his/her life....smoking weed and eating you out of a house and home.....but this child was brilliant.....could be anything that they wanted to be.....but just had no direction....or drive....
after a year or so the child finally got up and went to mcdonalds to work cooking fries and was pretty satisfied with that .....granted.....this is an improvement from smoking weed all day.....but given what this child is capable of.....would you be now satisfied with what he/she has accomplished.....
or would you continue to tell them to go back to school.....make a life plan and fulfill thier potential.....see where i'm going with this?? ....it doesn't matter what we did last year.....our personnel NOW is better than .500....and we.....as rabid fans of the dream just aren't satisfied with that when we know that we're capable of better.....we should be 1-0 now.....how can any real dream fan be satisfied with that last loss?? "that's ok mm, everybody makes mistakes" just isn't in my ability to say..... ;D
as to january.....facts are facts and i agree with the poster......she's just better than either shalee or latta....jmo.....btw....other than the implications that we were less than good fans....i didn't reallly have a problem with your post.....you express yourself well even tho i don't agree with some of your perceptions.....

Look my post about January came after I watched her tear up the Mystics in the fourth quarter, something that Shalee and Latta have not done all year. And I don't hate Shalee at all. I'm a season ticket holder who goes to every game and I love her passion and excitement. I know her moves. When ever she does a good play or pass she stoops down and claps like three times saying "let's go!" Yeah I study Lehning and loves what she brings to the team. But on the other hand I notice her lack of defence when guarding the other PG. She doesn't aggrevate nearly as much as Latta. And she rarely shoots, meaning Latta brings the ball down, can pass it off or shoot, in my opinion making her more of a threat. Anyways I love them both, not bashing anyone
