Hey all, I'm using the Texas WBB thread because it tends to be more active than the softball or volleyball threads.
Help me out here. I'm going to write Chris DelConte an email asking him to seriously consider putting up jerseys or
placards or some sort of recognition for our great women players. A few years ago, Plonsky was asked why the women
players didn't rate a jersey in the Erwin Center, her lame response was, "We just don't do it that way".
DelConte is extremely receptive to new ideas, as you may have been reading about all the changes he's done, including
replacing coaches and changing football game day. I've personal exchanged 2 emails with him that have led to further
discussions with his staff (about food offerings at the stadium).
So, I'm going to approach him with a list of women All-Americans and say, "How come Kevin Durant, with one year at UT
gets a jersey and all these others get nothing but applause when they come back for alumna day?"
I want to say these women were at least 2-time All Americans:
Softball
Cat Osterman - 3 times player of the year
Basketball
Linda Waggoner - 3
Kamie Ethridge - 2
Andrea Lloyd - 3
Clarissa Davis - 2
Edwina Brown - 2
Stacey Stevens - 2

Any others for....swimming, track, soccer?
