OT: ya gotta be a Lynx fan

Okay. I don't live in Minnesota (any more).

Haven't lived there since '76

Followed the Vikings, Twins, North Stars (then Wild), Fighting Saints (when I went to college in St Paul), T-Wolves and lately the Lynx. Not a soccer fan (outside of Ted Lasso).

But this current Minnesota Lynx team. Sc*idt.

I have not been a big mens college BB fan for decades...except maybe the tournament...maybe.

I have not been an NBA follower for at least 2-3 decades (okay, maybe I peek when the T-wolves are in the playoffs).

But the WNBA? These gals are pure. Something about their game.

And yeah, Cheryl Reeves is a helluva coach. But they were supposed to suck going into this season, having their roster blown up (expansion teams) and Napheesa Collier (that gal is...let me be careful here...she is married and has a beautiful child...) is an incredible athlete. But she was gone the first half of this season recovering from not one but TWO ankle surgeries.

So by hook or by crook, the Lynx ended up with the #2 draft pick this year....sorry, but I don't follow women's college BB. And they grabbed this goggle-wearing point guard that made her name at Notre Dame and finished at TCU. WTF?

Honestly, the no-look passes, the between-the-legs dribbles, the behind-the-back dribbles and passes...have blown my mind.

This kid is entertaining. A virtual Sports Center highlights reel.

She is a "spectacle". (Glass goggles LOL).

Sorry, but the Lynx are the most likely Minnesota team to win a championship this year.

Will they? I thought they would the last two years (while kinda/sorta paying attention, but not admitting it to anyone)

That's why they still play the games.

I gotta say...these gals got game...they can play. And they are a Minnesota team.

Heck yeah. I'm all in on these gals.
