"We have a national championship, and they don't" Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah...
Sound like something that could be heard on an elementary school yard during recess? To me it does. Yet, this childish and immature statement filled with conceit and "sour grapes" were the words spoken by the obviously full-of-herself Kim Mulkey following her loss (again) to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Semi-Finals Thursday night. It was Baylor's sixth consecutive loss to the Sooners since Courtney Paris arrived in Norman. When asked if the Sooners have a "hex" over Baylor, Mulkey scoffed and said, "I don't know they have a hex on us...we have a national championship and they don't."
Of course this isn't the first time the great Mulkster, coming off of her national title season, has seemingly taken her arrogance public. Last season she created a very public feud with the now former LSU coach Pokey Chatman because Pokey got a recruit that Mulkey wanted and also, very likely, because she couldn't deal with the fact that her team had just gotten thumped by nearly 30 points to LSU.
Listen, Kimmy, we know you have a national championship and we don't, but Pat's got six and you don't and Geno's got five and you don't...so there, take that! Is this the kind of argument this woman is going to make for everything?
"Coach Mulkey, are you going to Florida or LSU?"
"I have a national title and they don't"
"Coach Mulkey, what do you think your team's chances are in the NCAA's?"
"Well, since we have a national title and lots of the other teams don't, I think we have a good chance."
"Coach Mulkey, why did you get a divorce?"
"I have a national championship and he doesn't. It just wasn't gonna work, y'all."
Puh-leeze. I wasn't impressed with her classless spectacle she created last season and now with such arrogance as that of a 10-year-old boy losing in kickball that leads to statements claiming that she and her program are better than another because of a trophy and banner they have is the surest sign that Coach Mulkey is what I sensed from her all along: a self-centered, arrogant and holier-than-thou college basketball coach. I take back what I said before, Florida, you can do better than her! Oh wait, she has a national championship and you don't so maybe I am wrong...

I'd like to post the rest of Kim's comments that you failed to include in your post:
“I don’t know that they have any kind of hex on us,” said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey. “We have a national championship, and they don’t. So where is the hex? They have a very good team, and they have many more Big 12 championships. But I just think it’s a great atmosphere when two competitive coaches and two competitive teams get together.”
"It was a very entertaining game," said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey. "We just fell short. I congratulate Oklahoma. It was a great atmosphere. I thought it was good for women's basketball and good for the Big 12. We fought hard."
