Mulkey on Sunday's game at A&M: There will be a ton of #LSU people there because a bunch of Baylor people will come down there wearing the purple and gold.

Hmmmm? Maybe a few, but most of us have moved on.

Mulkey who? :-)

This is fake news - she would never say or type the name Baylor

Either a Mulkey is joking or she is delusional. Even Baylor people who live in B/CS probably will not be attending the game in any significant numbers. And I don't expect many to buy LSU gear.

Who cares? Those who are still Mulkey followers were never true Baylor WBB fans in the first place.

That's Mulkey putting out the bat signal. That game is on a Sunday afternoon, meaning there's no conflict with our home game.

I'm sure a few will make the trip, dressed in Baylor/LSU gold.

I was a Mulkey fan but I will always be a Baylor fan. I have moved on.

What a silly statement…you do not have to choose Mulkey or Baylor you can be both…I would be shocked if she did not make a bunch of close friends in the Baylor community over 21 years. I am sure a lot of her friends will make the trip…Kim is a WBB legend from small town, to player, coach winning Championships at all levels and a gold medal. Be mad and upset if you must and hate on Kim all you want just don't expect everyone to do so or everyone to have to.

No.

Mulkey built our program and for that I am thankful. However, my school is Baylor, not LSU.

I think this is a bit overkill. Mulkey's success at BU made me a fairly hard core follower of Women's basketball at BU. I've remained that way for 20 years, and now follow the women's team just as fervently. I look to see when they play. I watch the games. I follow this board.

I tremendously appreciate Mulkey for what she did for us, and for her defense of Baylor, but she chose to move on. I support her from afar and wish her well, but forever remain a Baylor Bear. I suspect there are more than a few of us.

You are probably right, though my comment stemmed from personal experience, and I was referring to Mulkey followers who no longer support our team and coach.

Or it is the ego coming through.....an ego which I suspect had a lot to do with her not being here anymore.

I would be interested in watching that game live. I appreciate women's basketball and especially games with a little extra "juice." And I would be rooting for LSU, because I do still feel a little connection with Kim, because I would never root for Aggies (the original OUUT traitors) and other Texas teams losing helps us in recruiting. BUT, I certainly would be wearing green and gold Baylor gear, because I am a Baylor fan first and because BU WBB>A&M AND LSU and I would want to remind them of that!

Thanks, Lynn. I know you are right, its just hard to imagine. CNC was hamstrung from the beginning and recruiting was weak. I think a lot of people put that on her and not the overall circumstance. But if our ladies make a deep run, some of these people will start drifting back. Hard to ignore a winner.

I would be slightly curious to see the interaction between KM and Gary Blair. Rumor has it they haven't spoken since the aTHUGm game in 2011. May be a blow-by to surpass Aston.

Kimberly Duane Mulkey legitimized women basketball at Baylor University. If it wasn't for her the former Lady Bears would still be an easy out for Iowa State, West Virginia, TCU, Texas and the other Big 12 teams.

You owe it to her to be in attendance Sunday, when she step foot into College Station.

They haven't spoken since TAMU left Big 12 for SEC. Kim likened it to a divorce.

I'm very appreciative of KM's efforts re: her time at BU, but our fans don't owe her a visit to Cult-land (Aggieville) to root for LSU. She has moved on, and we should as well.

There is absolutely no way " we owe it to Kim" to support her and LSU in College Station. Most fans very much appreciate what she did at Baylor but she chose to leave. I support Coach Nikki and this team. I would certainly not even consider going to to College Station or any other venue to cheer Kim and LSU.

The two are not mutually exclusive. You can root for both as long as they don't cross paths. Then it is Baylor all the way for me.

They played earlier this season. So they've at least interacted once.

Keep fishing. Thankful for what KM did at Baylor but don't give a damn what she does at LSU and it would take a damn large sum of money for me to put on LSU colors much less attend an LSU WBB game unless they were playing Baylor and if that was the case I'd be wearing Green and Gold and wanting to beat her ass.

They had a zoom call last year before the season with Vic, Gary and Kim. They all get along very well. They told a bunch of old stories and even one about A&M recruiting Griner that was funny.

I owe my bookie....and that's not km,,

Although I like Mulkey and am very appreciative of her development of the Baylor WBB program, I wouldn't drive the 100 miles on a Sunday afternoon to watch her coach a team I don't care about, and another I despise, in a regular season game. My guess is she will have 50 family members/ close friends to come watch the game who will enjoy catching up with her afterwards. Pretty normal reaction I think.

I've never gone out of my way to go see college games live if Baylor wasn't one of the teams playing (I'm not sure I can think of an example outside of the Big 12 Tournament, since I was there already). That doesn't mean that I fail to respect, appreciate, and admire Coach Mulkey.

Despite my personal lack of motivation to go see such a game, it's ridiculous to say anyone who wants to do so isn't a Baylor fan since Mulkey isn't at Baylor now. I went to a couple of Silver Starz games to watch Sophia Young play, even though she was no longer a Baylor player. I wonder if I ceased being a Baylor fan then. Do you think the athletics department will go ahead and refund me for all of the Baylor tickets I've purchased since then? Or did Sophia joining the staff retroactively validate my fandom from that time period? Inquiring minds want to know!

Did he give her a peppermint in return?

That's speculation, as are all of the suggested reasons. It doesn't matter anymore because she's gone.

Okay since we are dealing with fiction I'm fond of this quote from The Man of Steel. with a twist

• Jor-El : You have abandoned the principles that bound us together which is "Baylor Nation"
• You've taken up the sword against your own people. I will honor the person you once were, Coach KM, not this LSU coach you have become.

as far as my family and I, we will forever don on Green and Gold and root for Coach Nicki Collen and our lady bears past present and future

LSU is close behind us in the top 16, so I think an A&M win would actually help. Otherwise, I would be completely indifferent about this game.

Yep, since KM went to SEC it was inevitable. But only a time or two until GB exits.
