Caitlin Clark

We can now officially congratulate Caitlin Clark on breaking the record for the most points scored in women’s basketball!

Caitlin Clark is the biggest superstar in college basketball (men’s or women’s). That’s not just me being a fan, Caitlin Clark is HER! Caitlin scored 49 points on February 15th to pass Kelsey Plum’s NCAA record for the most career points in women’s college basketball. On Wednesday, Caitlin scored 33 points to pass AIAW legend Lynette Woodard’s 3,649-point record.

AIAW

Woodard played for Kansas from 1977-1981. During this time women’s college basketball was not recognized by the NCAA. Women’s basketball was governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). In 1982, the NCAA officially sanctioned women’s college basketball but they do not acknowledge any players or the stats prior to 1982. It’s not surprising that the NCAA does include coaches' wins and losses from the AIAW years in their career totals. Just another example of how the NCAA punishes student athletes.

Star Power
The star power for a girl from Iowa has been incredible to watch over the years. Caitlin has over 1.2 million followers on social media. She makes seven figures annually through her endorsement deals with Nike, State Farm, Gatorade, Hyvee, Buick, and Bose. She was the driving force behind Iowa’s women’s basketball team doubling its ticket revenue, from $767,069 in 2021-22 to $1.4 million in 2022-23, according to Sportico. (This data is from Joe Pompliano. I highly recommend following him on social and subscribing to his sports business newsletter; Huddle up. https://huddleup.substack.com/ )

You break it, you own it!
The slogan “you break it, you own it” is Nike’s marketing for Caitlin breaking the NCAA record. Nike has a billboard up right outside of Madison Square Garden in New York City. It’s pretty dope!

Whenever Caitlin touches a basketball, she’s breaking records. Not only is she the all-time leading scorer for women’s college basketball, she’s only 18 points shy of breaking LSU’s Pete Maravich's 3,667 points record to own the NCAA scoring record among both men and women.
Caitlin averages more than 30 points per game. There is no doubt that Caitlin will pass Pete in her last regular-season home game against No.2 Ohio State on Sunday at 1:00 on FOX. This game ticket starts at $557. It is the most expensive ticket in women’s basketball history (NCAA & WNBA).

Caitlin scored her 155th 3-pointer on Wednesday to break another NCAA record. She now owns the single-season 3-point record for both men and women’s college basketball. With 54 30-point games (17 this season), Caitlin owns the record for the most 30-point games by a D1 player. With 12 40-point games (four this season), Caitlin owns the record for the most 40-point games by any D1 player. She also has 17 triple-doubles (six this season), Caitlin ranks second in D1 history behind Sabrina Ionescu who leads with 26.

Highlights
Caitlin Clark is a human highlight reel. This image shows every shot she made to break the NCAA women’s scoring record. Of course, in Caitlin fashion, she broke the NCAA record hitting a three from the logo (Mom and Beka that’s means it was from 30ft, almost a half-court shot).

Added to her career highlights (so far), Caitlin has had her Iowa jersey #22 placed on Iowa’s court, is Fanatics’ top-selling NIL athlete, the reigning national player of the year and should easily repeat this year. 30 of her 32 games have been sold out. (The two games that not sold outplayed over Thanksgiving at a neutral site in Florida.)

Another highlight; she is part of the most-watched women’s basketball game for six different networks. That’s six different games that ranked the highest viewed on ABC, the Big10 Network, FOX, FS1, and Peacock. I even paid for the Peacock app (and yes, I am the only person I know besides my parents who still pays for cable) just to watch her play.
The sheer economic impact she has had on women’s basketball is reason enough to build her a statue.

WNBA Draft
Caitlin announced she will forgo her fifth year of eligibility and enter the WNBA draft. While the world of college basketball will lose out on capitalizing on Caitlin’s success, what else can she do at the college level besides win a National Championship? Caitlin has made everyone around her richer in more ways than one. Caitlin Clark will forever be remembered as one of the most important female athletes to elevate and impact the women’s game. The thousands of little girls that want to be just like Caitlin Clark is a testament to knowing the women’s game will continue to grow. Thank you, Caitlin!

As much as I would love for her to stay another year at Iowa, I’m excited for Caitlin to live her dreams and play in the WNBA. She is projected to be the #1 overall pick to the Indiana Fever (only an hour from Iowa City). No matter where she plays, I’ll be rooting for Caitlin Clark.

It's a Love Story
Posted: Wed, Feb 14th, 11:23 AM
Jared (the redneck from Roanoke, VA) thought the Taylor Swift coverage would end with the Super Bowl, but this love story isn’t going anywhere. In a game that was four hours and 18 minutes (that’s a total of 15,480 seconds). Swift only appeared for around 55 seconds! 55 SECONDS from the moment the game kicked off to the overtime touchdown.

Missouri Game Preview

The Vols did what they were expected to do against UConn. There's not really much to say about that game. The game this Saturday in Columbia, Missouri will decide whether or not this season is a failure in my opinion. If they Vols lose, they are staring at 8-4 and probably the Gator Bowl. Maybe Reliaquest..... [more]
Connecticut Game Preview

The Vols are coming back to Neyland Stadium and I am returning after a discretionary bye week. I'll be honest with you. This year it seems like I've been writing the same preview over and over because the formula to win has been the same pretty much every SEC game. I didn't want to sound like a broken record so I needed a bit of a break from that.

I'll start with some general observations..... [more]
