Go girls! If ya'll ain't watched, go to the MSU site http://www.hailstate.com/ and watch the girls video 'relentless effort II'. I must warn you though it stirs up pollen, because it sure makes your eyes water. You know in 1974 as a student and I went to the 1st women's BB game under coach Libba Birmingham, I never thought in a million years they would be our best chance at our 1st Natty!

I'm at the game. Florida appears to only have 8 players dressed out.

[Liverpooldawg]

Yep, just 8. There appear to be 2 more that are here but not dressed out. I wonder what the story is there?

[RocketDawg]

Looks like an excellent crowd. Can't see the upper deck though.

[RocketDawg]

Saw the last couple of seconds of the South Carolina/Georgia game. SC barely won (by 3). Maybe they had a down game like we did in our last game.

Not many up there. Except in the student section.

Hope Stricklin is watching, Dawgs 18 Gators 5 right now

What's this "principle of verticality" that the announcer is talking about? Did she just make that up or is it a legitimate basketball term?

[Liverpooldawg]

The upper deck has filled in a bit. I'd say 5-6k here. Great showing by the students.

Pretty sure she made it up. There have been a few times already this game she hasn't made a lick of sense.

I think this is the first women's b-ball game I've ever watched...or at least this is the longest I've ever tuned into one.

[Liverpooldawg]

It's keeps filling in. I think 6k for sure now.

She's basically just babbling her way through this game.

Let's hope she's not the best women's announcer they have ....

The game is actually a little boring, and we're winning. More than doubled Florida's scoring at halftime.

I'd never watched a women's game either (at least not since high school) until last year. They're actually kinda entertaining. Certainly a different game than the men's.

[Liverpooldawg]

Have they said anything on TV about why Florida only has 8 players tonight?

[civildawg]

I'll be honest, I've watched way more women's games on tv than men's in the last 4 years

I don't think so, but I haven't been paying attention that closely.

They just did a Navage advertisement ... kinda disgusting watching a chick flush her nose out .... The sad little pony was a lot better.

Principle of verticality actually is a thing. It's mostly used in the post for contact folks when a player is going up. A defensive player is given the ability to go straight up, not forward or backward. So if she jumps, she can jump straight up.

In the context she placed it though, it wasn't the right place for it. It's mostly used, like I said, in the post when a defensive player jumps up.

Injuries. Lots of injuries. Had a player earlier in the year lost to ACL tear.

These announcers bring all the excitement of taking a dump.
