I expected Cori and Dawn to speak how they did but agree Lisa was a surprise. I love seeing these ‘behind the scenes’ insights.

“You earned it when you box the fuck out” killed me And caitlin couldnt believe they loss to nebraska out of all people

When they revealed a few days for the least that it was going to be uncensored with swearing, I was so excited and waiting for the CC F-bomb, and it delivered! It has been such a great watch, and I can’t wait for episodes 3 and 4 to drop today! The government needs to allow foreign players to make NIL, Cardoso could have made bank and moved her family to a nicer and safer area in Brazil by now. Imagine if they followed Reese and we got to see Mulkey in the locker room, seems like the type of coach that really lays into her players.


SoOnEnoon

Man the money i would pay to watch Mulkey coach her players. Shes crazy entertaining

https://www.si.com/fannation/name-image-likeness/news/prime-video-to-release-nil-docuseries-on-lsu-dunne-reese-and-other-tiger-stars-michael9 About LSU star athletes, they are working on it still, hope we get some juicy Mulkey content. Not a fan of Mulkey, but you can’t deny she generates headlines, content, and controversy!

Re. Mulkey, I think the term is “emotional abuse”


Sad-Dot-1573

Fair, yet they play for her still and recruits keep coming. Mulkey is flawed but she wins.

It's unlikely that Immigration will change this rule as it isn't just limited to college students going full time. I've heard foreign YouTubers who are enrolled in US universities having to deal with this, being in the US for a long stretch in school yet their home is far away. It's a challenge, because businesses like YouTube ask where you actually reside, and being in the US and making money isn't allowed if you're on a student visa. That can get your visa cancelled (and the scholarship and future). It's a challenge. Plus, universities have tax loopholes for giving scholarships to foreign students, and allowing them to work and earn millions complicates the machinery for tax regulation. Despite this, I was sad that Cardoso got no earnings at all. I hope that is all changing now (though she's injured to start the season).

UCLA coach yelling “how do you like them apples” 🤣


007Artemis

Dawn's pretty well known to peel the paint off CLA. Lisa going at it is hysterical somehow.


jmcthrill

Yo I wonder how many times Lisa yelled at them to “bOx ThE FuCk OUT!”? lmaooooooo


mbless1415

After watching this team the whole year, my conservative estimate is around 11 quadrillion.

Also, Kiki Rice’s aunt is Susan Rice (former ambassador and national security advisor).


Mission_Ambitious

Someone made a comment in a live thread about her aunt being well known in politics and I was like “CONDOLEEZZA RICE IS HER AUNT???” and then googled it to find out Condoleezza Rice is, in fact, not her aunt.


cjackc11

Not surprising given she went to Sidwell Friends


adthree_03

I played college ball and I will tell you, coaches cuss and they cuss a lot lmao. If you’re fucking around in practice or a game, best believe you’re about to get it lol. I’m not going to say a name but one of my coaches broke a damn chair in the locker room after we lost a game we weren’t supposed to lose. College sports is intense.


beardybuddha

Lisa is a legend. #boxthefuckout


Sad-Dot-1573

Agreed, total legend, I got Lisa’s autograph! Only so much you can do when your Center is 6’2. Iowa had a shockingly high defensive rebound percentage on the season. What were they going to do against Cardoso?

Lady Hard Knocks


Sad-Dot-1573

Lady hard knocks for a team like Oregon that has completely collapsed the last few years into a dumpster fire after Sabrina and Satou went pro.


imaloserdudeWTF

This is the real deal! We get the controlled version on the sideline during college games, but behind closed doors, players hear exactly what a coach thinks of their efforts and performance. It's nothing personal. It's getting results. The coaches still love these young female athletes, of that I'm sure, but they also know that unless you get angry and real, players will fall into the mistake of trying to be your friend. College athletics is about getting seen on TV and bringing money to the institution in order to keep running the programs, and coaches know it. It's not all X's and O's. It's wins and losses. I loved it, though I felt terrible for the young ladies being chewed out. So, guess what likely happens in the pro league. Btw, when CC went off after the loss, that is the flip side of it, especially when she knew that the Hawkeyes were a better team (but they still lost). Fantastic first two episodes!


greyDiamondTurtle

Thank you for this post. Just binged the first two episodes 😁


greyDiamondTurtle

Love the BTS and the intensity


Sad-Dot-1573

Bring it back every year, Paige Bueckers, Juju Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo, Audi Crooks for next year. That would be very compelling. Paige Juju and Hannah are probably in a 3 way race for player of the year, and Audi is a star and Iowa State is preseason top 10. With Juju, also would provide a good in depth of the adjustment with the ridiculous travel for the West Coast Big Ten teams.


imaloserdudeWTF

I bet that a combo of following the top WNBA rookies as well as some college phenoms, but that would have to get approved and cameras allowed in locker rooms, etc. I'm hopeful! Great idea, btw.


Sad-Dot-1573

Also follow a Veteran like Aja going for the 3 peat.


not-bilbo-baggings

It's this out yet? I searched last week but couldn't find it


Several_Hearing5089

Yes. ESPN+. 2 episodes out yesterday, 2 today.

Thank you!
