The "Mamba" of women's basketball Caitlin Clark is back! The Hawkeyes' regular season is set to begin November 6th against Fairleigh Dickinson University. Going into the regular season feels a bit different for me. This will be my first time watching the beginning season of college women's basketball, as I hadn't watched an entire season of college women's hoops in damn near 10 years. Probably more.
Watching videos of the Hawkeyes' 2022-2023 season has been inspirational. I was in a very dark space and dealing with a whole bunch of bullcrap at the time when I first watched the title game on April 17, 2023. Now, I don't care about the NBA! Sorry, guys. I care about the WNBA and college women's basketball. It will be up to women to help grow women's sports and to help drum up interests in the careers of women athletes. I'm not a well-known columnist or writer. However, people do read my blogs, and I can tell you that many people from France, Finland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and of course, the United States have read my blogs. The Lady Hawkeyes got fans all over the world.
The "Mamba" Kobe Bryant was something special. But women's basketball has a new "Mamba," and her name is Caitlin Clark. The season that we're about to experience in women's basketball is probably going to be one of the greatest seasons in all of women's sports. I believe it. I have faith in this team...faith in what they can accomplish. Let's go, Hawkeyes!
The End
