I was lucky enough to score a ticket to last night's women's basketball banquet from a friend, so here are my observations:
1)The thing was too long. 3 hours is way too long.
2)Nancy was great as was the rebounder lady. Didn't really know what the rebounder lady was presenting.
3)Four of the girls are injured or will be injured: Newman had her knee scoped, Emery is having her knee fixed again, Sa'de had knee surgery and Christie has a stress fracture in her foot.
4)Coach Walz continued his "It was nice knowing you" tour by appearing at the banquet for possibly five minutes and then leaving. He's doing whatever he can to distance himself from the team.
5)Couldn't help but notice some disdain in Coach Frese's voice when introducing the players. She only talked about the positive first half they all had and nothing in the latter part of the season.
7)The highlight video was nicely done, but had too much rap music for my tastes and not enough of a tribute for Aurelie. It also made me mad as it showed how it was a wasted year.
8)Shay and Aurelie's speeches were both tearjerkers with Shay announcing her new official website. (For those wondering, Kalika and Alli Spence were members of their class too).
9)I felt bad for Sa'de as no one wanted a picture of her.
10)It would have been nice to have one of the girls grab the microphone and say a few words i.e. we too are disappointed in the season and we don't expect this to happen again.
11)Lastly, it seems like the guy in charge of the Rebounders forgot to mention a certain someone's blog yesterday. I was only the first blog about the team. Maybe I need to donate some money for the recognition.

Well, are you a Rebounder? No one knows who you are. Introduce yourself and become known then you'll get recognized.That guy is the president of The Rebounders and he is more then happy to give shout-outs when he knows who to give them to. I was there and I have no idea who you are, I do know both the dcbasketcases, though. The Rebounders are the teams most passionate fans and we back the team no matter what. Get acquainted.
Love your blog. Very informative. Are you just a big Terrapins Women's basketball fan who decided to do a blog? Thanks for the info. on why so many of the players are on crutches. It was very disconcerting to see the picture. Anyway, I've been wanting to tell you that the McDonald's HS All American Game was rebroadcast on ESPN the Fri. after the game. It wasn't advertised, I just looked through every days ESPN listings to check. Maybe they were getting flack, I don't know. Thanks again.
xwom - just giving the rebounders a hard time. you guys do a great job supporting the team.
The blog was started to give Maryland women's basketball fans a place to voice their concerns. Plus we didn't really have an outlet.
I take it you are a Marissa Coleman fan?
Love #25, Joey. Debating whether I'm too old to sport a #25 Terps Jersey. LOL I love how physical she is and how she can literally do it all. Marissa leaves it all on the court and also knows the value of a little showmanship play here and there to get the fans involved. She's only going to get better, which is scary, for the competition that is.
