| Transcript | Bad Attendance Fans nonexistent for Lady Coogs in 1990 I bet I know something that very few of you know. UH has a women's basketball team. They're called the Lady Cougars. You may have seen their name in a headline on the sports page every now and then, mainly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A couple of them have been "Lady Coogs Win," and 'lady Coogs Fall to A&M." Either of those ring a bell? I honestly don't mean to be talking down to anyone or making anyone feel stupid. Does anyone out there know when the games are? How about those of you who left Hofheinz last season during the A&M game, while the announcer was saying, "please stick around for the second half of our double header tonight as the Lady Cougars take on the Lady Aggies." You know, you didn't have to pay extra to watch the ladies play, and they really are a pretty good team. The Lady Coogs have a lot of talent. We had Jana Crosby, who was the Queen of the three-pointers, and holds several scoring records in the SWC. Darla Simpson, a 6-3 sophomore, was one of the top shot blockers in the SWC and at UH. She is presently on her way to breaking both season and career shot-blocking records. How about Arlene Brown? She's been called the most explosive and probably the best all around player in the SWC! I don't think I have to go and tell you about Voccia Calhoun, Aida Rexach, Sharon Knight, Mildred Williams, Cynthia Jackson, Karen Yee, Stephanie Edwards or Kellye Jones. It's pretty obvious the Lady Cougars are a pretty good team. It is quite obvious I am not some woman saying no one came to the games because the players are women. You should come to the games because we have a talented team, and because you go to UH (just a reality check for some of you). Please tell me why there are hardly ever any fans there cheering the girls on. There are a few fun fans, and if it weren't for them the games would be almost boring. It can be very quiet in that gym, and I can sometimes understand why it would be tough for the girls on either team to get into the game under circumstances like those. The fans that did come, keep coming, and those of you who have just learned that UH has a women's basketball team, come to the games next year. Those of you who plan to go to the men's games this year, come a little early. Those of you who didn't plan to come to either game, get off your can and have some fun; you might like it-Shelly Artello M photos by Thomas Nguyen. RED°NOT 299 |
