Ali stopped in at Glasstech last Friday. It was great to see her and it's obvious she's excited to be the first BGSU women's basketball player to go pro! She's got a great opportunity to head to Luxembourg a week from now and I'm sure she'll do us proud!

She said she's been in contact with Josh Almanson who played for the same organization's men's team and she's promised to buy her mom a cottage on Lake Michigan when she gets back to the WNBA!!

Good luck, Ali!! We're all going to be watching and rooting for you!!!

I believe we have had other play pro ball. I am almost positive that Megan McGuire played in Ireland for a year or two. Are there any others?

You may be right, factman... I just made an assumption. Anyone know of other professional female Falcon athletes?

Didn't Lindsay Austin latch on with some sort of traveling team after she graduated?

I'm thinking she went to Germany to play. Didn't she tell us that at the tournament game at Purdue?

Maybe that's it. I don't remember. I think maybe she was on some sort of Ohio All-Star team out of Columbus the year after she graduated, and then went overseas.

Great to hear, G. Ali is my fave women's hoops player of all time....She just has it all. I hope she stops by the Fall Sports Event Sat before getting on that Jet to Europe on the 27th.

At any rate...KICK TAIL, ALI!!!!!!!!

Ali posts her first entry from Luxembourg....

Does that make it a Luxem-blog?? I think it does!

BTW... the car her team provides her with is SWEET!

Did anyone else laugh out loud at this quote?

Great news for Ali and it sounds like she is going to do very well.

Great to hear from Ali!! Sounds like things are going well so far...except for the whole luggage fiasco.

Kick tail, Ali!!!!!

Hello kettle, this is pot. You are black.

I'm going to go out on a limb here...having coach Orr at 6'-8/9" and coach Miller at something closer to 5ft than 6ft, we have the widest disparity of height between same gender head coaches in all of NCAA division 1 sports.

Did a search on this to see if it could be confirmed. Here is the most popular result:

First off, what the hell is that!?

Ali sounds like she is going to have a great career in professional basketball. I have to say, I was very surprised that she didn't get any tryouts with WNBA teams...I think she will definitely earn her way there though. Good Luck Ali!

The quote is a reference to the paint on the front of the rim being worn off from shots that fall short. Miller isn't instructing his players to somehow "get tall" but rather to get the ball to the rim with more power.




But of course you all knew that, right? I completely am missing your sarcasm??
