Taking off the orange glasses, this is a very good thing for WBB. For sure, if it was happening at almost any other school, it would be much easier to appreciate. Last week, I was walking through the airport in SD, and there was a crowd in a bar watching the UO-Stanford game on ESPN ... that's a pretty rare thing, especially during the regular season. The reality is that the casual fan is more likely to follow a player than a team, and Sabrina is making that possible (along with a lot of help from Nike and ESPN). That can only help the WNBA as well, which needs players/personalities that draw audiences much more than the college game. Nike pulling some levers to make the media take notice is really helpful to the game overall as well. I suspect there will even be a lot of causal beaver fans that just then learn how highly rated OSU is that night, and only due to mentions about the 'celebrity' being at the game (since the casual fan isn't likely to stumble across the game on the Pac-12 network). And our women's team benefits as well ... if it is, say Kobe Bryant or Lebron, how cool would that be for them? Doubtful it would be Lebron. Lakers are playing on the East coast tonight and Saturday. Kobe would be more likely. Could also be Steph, but that would blow up the Nike conspiracy. |

Except Phil Knight doesn’t attend their women’s basketball games. Really? I wonder who it was i saw at their games. He doesn't attend every game but he most definitely makes some of them. |

Basketball and track and field are the two women's sports he attends and basketball has been a recent interest. He has basically nothing to do with volleyball and absolutely nothing to do with softball. New softball facilities were paid for by a couple in the North Bend/Coos Bay area. |

Interested, maybe, attended, no—not women’s basketball. |
