I asked three of the young women in my life whether they would want their weight posted and frequently updated in the nightly program should they be lucky enough to play for Stanford Women's basketball.  They shook their heads and looked at me like i was an idiot (not uncommon in and of itself).

I told them, in my best whiney voice,  "But FANS on the Cardboard REALLY, REALLY want to know!".  Answers were specific and unprintable. I suggest you don't identify yourself as a Cardboard reader should you meet them at half-time tonight.

Go Cardinal!

Speaking of meeting up at the game...  I hope you're healthier Bob, but since you're posting, I guess you aren't making the trek.

I just want to thank everyone on this thread for the laughs.  Reminds me of Bill Cosby: Why is there air?

I'm sorry, but does anyone think that male athletes' weight—and every other aspect of their bodies—is discussed, scrutinized, and criticized the way that female athletes are? Equity demands acknowledgment of disparate circumstances, which I certainly think is the case here.

Just once, I'd like to see a male athlete's height and weight juxtaposed with his height and weight years later when he's a fat old coach.

Oh wait...here's one. 12-year NBA veteran and former USF men's basketball coach, and San Jose native, Rex Chapman.

Here he is as a 6'4", 190 pound guard...

He's past 50, so it's not so improbable that he lost an inch of height.  Or maybe he was 6'3" to start, and now he's 6'2", and he's always been lying by an inch.  If he did lose height though, that doesn't imply any loss of mass because it just happens due to compression of the spine.  Getting old is not for the faint of heart...

"Beauty is the price that women pay to exist in this world."

Is this what we want to continue to perpetuate, or will we have the courage to change this in the world around us?

It's far more "acceptable" to be an overweight man than an overweight woman in this world.

What's more important, Crook's weight or that she dropped 40 points in the game against Maryland?

Also, if you look at the last play of regulation, we had Iriafen set up perfectly for the game-winning shot, driving one-on-one against Crooks.  Except that Crooks moved with her step for step and forced her to take an off-balance shot as time expired.  I must have looked at that clip a dozen times looking for a foul, but it looked clean to me.

Also, she's a freshman; I expect that by her senior year, a substantial amount of that adipose tissue will be replaced by muscle, and she will be a premier player.

Lastly, she really looked like she was having a ton of fun out there.  Great for her.

Man, no kidding. I topped out at 6'1 5/8" and at age 61, I have lost 1.5". My kids now tower over me.
