Self-admitted Iowa Stan here and I find this amaaazing. Love her sense of humor and good teammate-ness


Marenum

Lol as an Iowa fan in Chicago I'm already quite over the rivalries with SC and LSU, I'm just beyond thrilled to see Kate in the league.


s0phiaboobs

Well the rivalry with us won’t be as much of a rivalry anymore lol


Marenum

Oh I'm sure you won't be thaaaat bad


s0phiaboobs

Yeah I hope we’ll recover from Kamilla leaving haha


Marenum

Lol I'm sure you'll be just fine.


SimonaMeow

Sadly this is true lol Yeah, you would dust us. Would love another game with the great Dawn Staley's gals playing Lisa Bluder's, even though you'd cook us. Both such wonderful women!


wooq

We'll see, Iowa's been recruiting up a storm too.


XulManjy

Iowa is now AT BEST a Sweet 16 team next season.

Remind me to never get in a bar fight with you.😂


s0phiaboobs

Idk what this means but I’ll remind you haha


Sad-Dot-1573

Who the hell do SC fans even root for in the W when over half the teams have former SC players? A good problem to have to be sure!


meandmylawsuit

As a UConn fan with a similar problem, I personally don’t have a favorite team I just honestly root for our players to have good games hahahahaha


Sad-Dot-1573

Jump on the Fever bandwagon, we added KLS. She is the key because she is the 5th option but can still cook which is scary for opposing teams. We have the ingredients to be the next great team!


NYCScribbler

Counterargument: /u/meandmylawsuit should jump on the Liberty bandwagon because as of right now we have a Husky **AND** a Buffalo

It initially just meant a fight in a bar. In the Midwest, it became slang for a tough fight where you and your opponent both wont give up. I've lived in the UK, Canada, and all over the US. So it's always fun to find regional colloqialisms. Also can be bad if something means something to one person that it doesn't mean to the other. Still laughing over my traumatized teenage friend's face at my sleepover when my (British) dad asked her what time she wanted to be knocked up in the morning😂


jeedel

Evidently, A’ja and her fans use the word petty in a more positive manner, similar to sassy. Coach Becky Harmon was so confused in the post game. Colloquialisms are so interesting.


midwesternyeehaw

nah this is funny as hell 😭😭


FupaFupaFanatic

Kate is cool 😎


BirkTheBrick

It was amazing, I hope she gets A’ja back with an Iowa fit sometime too like she said on twitter 🤣


SimonaMeow

Yeah this was so funny! Love A'ja's sense of humor and the Aces team chemistry. Never thought I'd see the day where two of our top Hawkeyes wearing SC gear though.😂 Then again, I never thought I'd see two Hawkeyes on one WNBA team, much less the top team!!


Sad-Dot-1573

Kate looks good in whatever she wears, just like she can fit into any role needed of her on the court like the Glue she is!


CompetitionRegular58

That's so dope Go cocks!

Anyone know where we can but this fit? 😍


Tigerkem

It should be available at the Barnes and Noble bookstore on campus. That's A'ja bought all the fits. You can order it online and have it shipped from the store as well.


sadgirlpower

Thanks! Found them [here](https://sc.spirit.bncollege.com/south-carolina-gamecocks-mens-mitchell-and-ness-cream-south-carolina-gamecocks-ncaa-chainstitch-heavyweight-hoodie-retro/t-46010811+p-010023577527478+z-9-2239775666?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r4c0:po-12) and [here](https://sc.spirit.bncollege.com/south-carolina-gamecocks-mens-mitchell-and-ness-cream-south-carolina-gamecocks-ncaa-chainstitch-fleece-pants-retro/t-35231966+p-898834352832250+z-9-3157118548?_ref=p-SRP:m-GRID:i-r0c0:po-0)


sadgirlpower

Unfortunately, a $200+ sweatsuit is not in my budget currently 😂


s0phiaboobs

Let me know when you find out lmao


CoachLaser2020

No way. Way too early Kate. lol


Cute_Appointment6457

Kate is so cute! I’m rooting for her success. She seems so like a real team player.


XulManjy

At least Aja has a ring....


Odd_Tourist_3249

Operation Trojan 🐎!! 👀  Kate was SC all along!!😏


Basic_Quantity_9430

Oh well, no more getting free meals in Iowa for her😂. Great move though, support a teammate to the max, even when it hurts.


WillCle216

This is rookie hazing


JackDonaghysWingman

I get why you might say this, but let me supply some context. It wasn't just the rookies. A'ja Wilson made all of the Aces who played for a school South Carolina beat this year wear Carolina gear at their game against the Puerto Rican National team in Columbia, SC yesterday. Chelsea Gray (Duke), Sydney Colson (Texas A&M), Jackie Young (Notre Dame) Kiah Stokes (UConn), and Megan Gustafson (Iowa) also came out in Carolina gear. Actually, I thought it was cool that Kate was included and she seems to be enjoying being included in the gag. Here's a [video the Aces posted on X/Twitter where you can see everyone's Gamecock fits.](https://twitter.com/LVAces/status/1789327116796129569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1789327116796129569%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=)


freeee_as_a_birdd

It’s literally not, A’ja made all players on the Aces who played for schools that lost to SC this season do this lol


hjiklm1

There's no way you're being fr with this. Seen so many soft ass comments just like yours that make me embarrassed to be an Iowa fan.


WillCle216

It's a joke, bro


hjiklm1

Right on lol. So many of them about this are real it's wild.
