Cal Got Robbed
by C and R's Stanford Women's Basketball Blog
posted March 15, 2009 at 4:14pm

R calls me in the morning all in a panic to tell me she doesn’t think the PAC-10 Semi-Finals are on TV after all. She said she checked the usual sports station and can’t find it. After perusing all 900 or so cable channels I get, I find it on an obscu...more

A cinderella story… The College of New Jersey advances to the elite eight!
by ...Because I Played Sports
posted March 14, 2009 at 1:14pm

I can’t help but think that this might just be the year that we actually do it. As a former player for The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), for as long as I can remember, my teammates and I dreamed of winning the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) and ...more

PAC-10 Tourney
by C and R's Stanford Women's Basketball Blog
posted March 14, 2009 at 1:00pm

Okay, C and R will spare you our rant about the women’s PAC-10 tournament NOT being on TV, because if you are reading about women’s basketball, then you probably feel the same way about women’s basketball, it needs to be seen more to get more people...more

UConn-Syracuse 6 OT Instant Classic
by Pretty Tough
posted March 13, 2009 at 1:12pm

The men’s game gets more than enough attention so we don’t generally add to the plethora of print, but last night’s game between Syracuse and UConn is worth mentioning on so many levels. The Syracuse 127-117 upset victory over fourth-ranked UConn,...more

WNBA’s Atlanta Dream use Facebook to give tickets, get fans
by ...Because I Played Sports
posted March 13, 2009 at 1:11pm

I love what I’m seeing from WNBA marketing teams lately . They’re finally catching on to the fact that if they engage directly with fans online, they will start to generate some attention (without much investment). Here’s the latest… The Atlant...more

Courtney, Courtney, Courtney
by C and R's Stanford Women's Basketball Blog
posted March 13, 2009 at 1:10pm

Normally C and R hate people who brag and boast, but you gotta love Oklahoma basketball player Courtney Paris. She said she came to Oklahoma to win a championship, and this is her last year here, so, one, she predicts they will win, and two, if they do no...more

PAC-10 Honors for Stanford
by C and R's Stanford Women's Basketball Blog
posted March 12, 2009 at 9:47pm

Usually C and R hate unlucky 13, so we have to cross our fingers and toes when Stanford starts play in the PAC-10 tournament this Friday the 13th. However, the number 13 was lucky for Stanford’s Jayne Appel, as she became Stanford’s 13th PAC-10 player...more

Pohlen, PAC-10 Player of the Week
by C and R's Stanford Women's Basketball Blog
posted March 12, 2009 at 3:12am

Jeanette Pohlen was named PAC-10 player of the week for the week of March 2-8th. Believe it or not, this is her first such honor, what with being only a sophomore and surprising the heck out of coach Tara VanDerveer this year. That makes three out of the ...more

Early this week, I was delighted to read the NCAA Division III women’s basketball interactive brackets (which are awesome, by the way). My alma mater, The College of New Jersey, made it to the sweet 15 defeating Tufts on Saturday, 57-55 on Saturday. H...more

It takes a team
by Athletic Women Blog
posted March 9, 2009 at 5:18pm

Teamwork is required to win championships in team sports. There is no way around it. I was reminded of this Saturday night as I watched the Mansfield Summit Jaguars upset Brittney Griner's Aldine Nimitz Cougars in the Texas Class 5A basketball championshi...more

March 7th, ASU and the PAC-10 Title

It is senior night, or rather senior day at Stanford for the women’s basketball team, and C and R arrive early to Maples. The temporary parking lot is already filled, and they have opened another dirt patch for us. Oh boy, we think, it will be a sell out...more

So I’ve been brainstorming for the past 24 hours about ways women’s professional sports can generate popularity. One of my ideas is that cell phone companies can work with the WNBA, WPS, the LPGA (and others) to generate attention....more
