Another Jenni Carlson column

in todays Daily Oklahoman about hoe the Coale-Mulkey rivalry has lost its sizzle. She is spot on.

27 points in OKC does not a rivalry make.
Baylor dominates OU in women's hoops the last five years.

Baylor has dominated pretty much everybody in women's hoops the last five years. That's the inconvenient truth we're all going to have to live with.

It would be foolish to predict, but it would not surprise me to see BU beat UT by as wide – or wider – a margin than the Bears beat us.

Baylor is playing as well as anyone in the country right now (UConn included). And Texas, despite all its talent, is mentally weak. That's exactly why we beat that collection of 5-stars by 18 points a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, Hypocrite U beat whorns in Austin by 13 and in Wacko by 26, just a week or so ago. We lost by 10 in Wacko and 8 in Norman. I expect it will be a 20+ point win by Hypocrite U against the whorns as well. It's pretty much a given now that Hypocrite U will make the Final 4 as their first 2 rounds will be in Wacko and Regional in Dallas. Maybe they can put A&M in Dallas Regional and we can have a repeat of a few years ago where Gary Blair stopped Sulkey and Griner and Co from a Final 4 visit!

That would be funny…and I don't even like Gary Blair.

I agree. They are OU but with the talent. I honestly think Imani Odom just is not that into it or something. Maybe mood swings, also if she is on birth control pill I think that makes a difference in moods. Anyway, it seems she started the season as a beast and now is inconsistent. (admittedly, I do not follow too closely, so this is just commenting from skimming scores and stats at times). My point is if she were playing like she did at the first maybe the others would be mentally stronger. Ariel Atkins was injured and missed nine games, plus she was injured last year. The recent injury is probably affecting her game and possibly the previous one. When you can't play as you are used to playing or if you have some pain, your mental game can be affected. I like Texas and would like to see them do well. I would like the entire Big 12 to become stronger with OU strongest, of course.
Not sure if it will ever not be Baylor and then the rest. At least for another decade.

Who is Imani Odom?

 

[Sweetest OU Girl]

Who is Imani Odom?

Perhaps she is talking about imani Boyette, Texas post.

She is not too popular with some Texas fans, but has played very well at times.

Exactly. Boyette, not sure why I said Odom. Thanks. Imani McGee-Stafford I knew, but never was consistent with her name change since marriage. I really like her from her interviews and she's been through a lot having been sexually abused by a relative. I am sure she is still healing.
