"We've admitted our mistakes" - BFS! Baylor has admitted to nothing, covered up everything, and tried to coverup more than the rest of the Big XII combined. These coverups are not a recent phenomenon in Waco, but rather have been going on at least three decades. Baylor's administration has been talked to, threatened, and each time becomes more sanctimonious. As a Baptist, who chose The University of Texas over Waco, it is beyond embarrassing, but then I quit supporting them when they made Robert Sloan president. Did Fact O Bake cancel their endorsement to do her "paint job"? That woman is to women's athletics as Tom Osborne, Frank Beamer, Howard Schnellenberger were to men's.
Her remarks were awful but her apology seems sincere. She looks worn out. Must have taken a lot of heat.
Well, it's hard to distinguish whether she is sorry for her comments, or just sorry that she's getting so much backlash from them.
Seemed a bit desperate, dramatic, STILL tone deaf and insincere rolled up in a messy ball. Hand her a toothpick and she'll pick her teeth in a presser. She's feeling pressure, but I have to wonder if it's over something we don't know...just yet.
Jusme you and I both know the answer to that... If there hadn't been any backlash, we wouldn't even be seeing these apologies. I don't buy it... Not for one second. I hope our team doesn't buy it either. We need to kick their asses if we play again.
That whole thing with the long pauses thrown in was contrived. And yes, no way she's apologizing and backpedaling without the heat. Michelle Voepel saw sincerity, to which I ask, WHICH TIME?
Out of respect for my friends on this board I will refrain from saying what I really feel about this woman, however I will tell you something my 17 yo daughter said to me, "I used to love Baylor and wanted to play there, but I don't think I could do it now, even if they offered me a full ride!"
I usually refrain from commenting on Mulkey. Some of things she has done in the past have definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I'll never forget after Griner punched Barncastle in the face how Mulkey tried to convince the media that Brittney was just a "sweet child"; those were the exact words she used. After Baylor beat Tech, the way she stood at center court and purposely dropped the microphone on the floor was her deciding to make get even more attention after she gave her speech and went on her rant. She knew what she was doing. I didn't watch the post-game media interviews, but I believe she said the same things again. So, as far as I'm concerned, these apologies are coming way too late. She made her bed.
She looks like she hasn't slept in a week, so maybe the well-deserved backlash has taken a toll. I always have a problem with these forced apologies. An apology is only valid if it comes from the heart. Her initial comments were probably how she really feels, and they were certainly well-received among the Baylor faithful. Among the rest of the world, not so much.
