My Only Sports Blog

So if you didn't know, I cover women's basketball for the school newspaper.  Now I know what you're thinking.  Women's basketball?  Why?  Well here's a shocker - they are currently the best sports team at SMU.  In fact, they made history last night after defeating Houston to mark the 21st win of the season - the most wins in school history.  So why do we continue to discriminate against women's sports?

I've heard guys say they would go to the games if the girls played in just sports bras and spandex... ok then why don't they go to volleyball?  The volleyball girls wear minimal clothing and you don't see fans there!  I've even seen the men's basketball team enviously watching the women from the bleachers - these guys only WISH they could be as good as the girls.

For the first time in the program's history the basketball team has a damn good chance of sweeping the Conference USA tournament, and going on to the NCAA Championship.  Have we caught your attention yet to watch these girls?

While it's too late now since the last two games are away, maybe next season the school will realize these girls are good.  It would be nice to see some fan support for not only a women's sport, but for the best sport at SMU.  Just because we're girls doesn't mean we're inferior to the guys.
