Today in the article about Kim Mulkey, Kent Babb said after Mulkey left the Baylor program was "left to wither" and "no longer among the sports' top tier". Unprompted, Baylor HC Nicki Colleen had some thoughts about that postgame: "I'm not afraid to say I was really offended by the article that came out. I didn't read any of it. Don't know what happened, but nothing's withering in Waco. Nothing is withering in Waco... We are not not a first tier team and you can't say we are. You can't get to the Sweet 16 and take a #1 seed down to the wire in a one possession game and say anything is withering in Waco... There's some stuff blooming in Waco. If he wants to come do an article and come to Waco and write about it next year, he's welcome."
Full paragraph from the story. When I read this paragraph, I was like whoa Baylor catching some kinda stray. Loved that Nicki said this so much that, I, two rooms over (ON VERY LITTLE SLEEP AND THEREFORE NO FILTER) said, "HA!" as Nicki began to talk about this.
@BrennaGreene_ How is someone offended by something they didn’t read?
@BrennaGreene_ I actually like Coach Nikki! See you at Hilton soon!!
@BrennaGreene_ Offended by something but you aren’t sure what that something is? What
@BrennaGreene_ @bowling23 I’m guessing the team GPA isn’t “withering in Waco.” There’s a huge gap between confidence and narcissism. Mulkey resides on the farthest side of the latter.
@BrennaGreene_ @achristovichh How can one be offended by something you admittedly did not read? What a joke.
@BrennaGreene_ The quote is that Baylor was “left to wither” not that Baylor was withering. This is just not that deep.
@BrennaGreene_ I think Mulkey is great. That being said, everyone on both sides must stop being “offended “. Why do so many people spend time being offended. It’s a waste of time.
@BrennaGreene_ Didn’t read the article but heard “withering,” an unfair description of a highly competitive team, something proved in this year’s tournament. On we go.
