Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, January 21, 2009

From the WBCA:
The State Farm Wade Trophy Committee elected to add five additional student-athletes to the 2008-2009 State Farm Wade Watch List. Rachel Allison (Baylor), Kristi Cirone (Illinois State), Shalee Lehning (Kansas State), Deirdre Naughton (DePaul) and indsay Wisdom-Hylton (Purdue) become part of the 30-player pool, which ncludes 25 selected during the preseason.
Not to diminish the quality of the add-ons -- and before people get their knickers into a twist about who and how and why -- consider a Debbie Antonelli comment from "Shootaround:" Being on the Wade Watch List allows announcers to promote the sponsor, State Farm, every time they call a game they're playing. Which is what sponsors want and is why they sponsor stuff.
