And some on this board think Kim cares about Waco.

Hopefully this is not true and is a troll is posting this. I would hope that neither LSU or Kim would be this classless. There are lots of negative comments about this on twitter.

I would think it's true since the official LSU Women's Basketball Twitter account posted it

I have not noticed any in Waco.

Smoaky confirmed it is up. Big thread about this on the premium board. Very petty. Queen has already called her out about it.

I think nothing says "She's in a better place for her and we are in a better place without her" than this.

Who cares? I know I don't. Nothing personal just have moved on from the drama. Good luck

Where in Waco? She is once again as I mentioned the other day getting negative attention on social media over this or at least the prospect of there being a bill board or bill boards in Waco. Mulky does not seem to be a very popular person based on social media outlets.

Apparently on a digital billboard at I-35 and 18th street as you are heading north -- one exit before the Baylor exit.

Drove past there at lunch and didn't see it, but figured that was the most likely spot (it's the only digital billboard northbound on 35 before you get to campus). There's another digital board southbound just south of Waco Dr with the same rotation of ads and it may be on it as well.

My guess is that unless you either (1) have a husband who is taller than 6'10" or (2) have a goatee, a closet full of plaid sportcoats, and copious quantities of hairgel, that billboard isn't directed at you.

Whatever else it's about, it's about recruiting. LSU would be negligent to not take full advantage of the moment, the remarkable success of the team, Kim, and the millions of people who drive up and down I-35. Imagine how many people will be talking about it. The impact for LSU as a university is off the charts. Vic Schaefer will probably be as upset, or more upset, than some of us are.

LSU hit a mother load. When you do that you get the word out.

If joyful mediocrity is your thing, then yes, we are in a better place without her.

B I N G O -- the fact that the billboards have pi$$ed off the 'good ole boy' network at Baylor is just an added bonus.

The greater Waco metropolitan region has 280K+ people in it.
The greater Austin region has 2.2M+.

Even factoring in I35/HWY 6 traffic on a given day, the ROI for putting this in Waco instead of somewhere else would get a marketing director demoted, at best.

This isn't about recruiting. It's about nursing a grudge.

That's on his morning commute. Unless he exits at the Circle and takes LaSalle in the back way.

That would require merely switching out the FF logo for a trophy.

Lamar Outdoor Advertising is based in Baton Rouge. No biggie for them to do lots of advertising for LSU. On the way to NOLA for the 2019 Sugar Bowl vs. UGa there were lots of electronic billboards that read:

"14-(Ed Orgeron's head)"

Or at least, the few billboards that weren't for Gordon McKernan or Morris Bart.

I think you have an inaccurate view of what constitutes the "Good Ole Boy" network at Baylor. Half of that network doesn't give two squats about WBB and the other half are Mulkey-ites.
Mitch Henessey

I would imagine that most people who see the billboard, if they even know who Mulkey is, assume she still coaches at Baylor.

WBB doesn't move the societal needle nearly as much as people on this board have convinced themselves it does.

Ironic also that it shows Alexis Morris who was kicked off the team at Baylor because she was ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT!!!!!

So you don't believe in 2nd chances ?
Max Roguespierre
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Clearly, Mulkey believes in second chances as long as the player can still suit up for her team and help her get some wins.

Once they have exhausted their eligibility and penned an autobiography in which she was criticized, not so much.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So you'll be critical if and when CNC gives a player a 2nd chance right? Other you'd be a hypocrite. As far as Morris, she's went as far as to say she needed Mulkey in her life for guidance. Don't think she'll be trashing her.
Max Roguespierre
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I believe in granting second chances without looking for personal gain from doing so.

But that's not really Mulkey's modus operandi. On a loaded Baylor team Mulkey had no qualms about kicking Morris off of her team. At LSU needing scoring punch for her rebuild, Mulkey was happy to add Morris (who became a basketball nomad after she left Baylor). Of course Morris won't criticize Mulkey. Why would she? Her rehabilitation was a successful quid pro quo transaction.

So childish & petty. "Look at me! Look at me!" Reminds me of another rather childish billboard put up on I-35 by the Aggys when they moved to the SEC - 'Thou shalt not covet another schools conference" or something. So stupid. KM put herself on the same level as the Aggys, she must be proud.
Well I ain't no greenhorn!!

Good Stuff. We need to take this kind of thing in stride rather get defensive. Nobody complained when we razzed TCU over 61-58 and that was in good humor.

Does Mulkey still have any family in the Waco area?

Not sure about family, but half this board claims to be best friends with her.

Makenzie still lives here, I believe. Her husband Clay Fuller is a commercial real estate broker for Coldwell Banker in Waco. I assume they both live in Waco unless I missed them moving.

The ultimate question is does any of this "negative social media" in any way affects her recruiting and winning. Absolutely not. We can mouth off about her all we want, but she will get prize recruits and prize transfers as long as she wants to coach; she will coach them to be champions; and she will continue to grab lots of trophys. It is just who KM is-always has been-and always will be. Turning LSU into a final four team in two years, just continues the KM folklore.

This is the kind of stuff that makes for great movies. Sandra Bullock would make a great Kim Mulkey.

So did Mulkey know about and or autborize this?
