if i gave you a milion dollars could you come up with a more original comment than what every Iowa fan says or is that basically the extent of the dog whistles you people can come up with?
could I pay you a billion dollars to use a word that isn't dog whistle coded for white supremacy that every other white bread iowa farmer uses? Just try hard. Any other word than that. Express your thoughts or you're a worthless bot.
This new Fan Lady from Cape Cod Massachusetts I’m 80 & a Mother of 7 & oh what a joy you girls have been in my life this Season. I’ve never watched Women’s Basketball I didn’t enjoy watching but my son introduced me to your Team & I actually followed you as a whole. Put your heads up high the biggest Trophy you won!! Filling Arenas, firing up Fans & we’re so proud of you girls!!
Sometimes winning isn't about the game, it's about how you played it. Ladies, you made an indelible mark in the history and future of women's basketball. You won that trophy and it's a big one. You fulfilled your purpose. That is the prize you need to keep in mind. We are proud of you. You did what no other team did.
sometimes winning isn't about the championship it's about making it to the championship game so that state farm can get the ratings to make money off the one player they paid for in that particular game. It's not about SC-IOWA... it's about the last 9 seconds of IOWA-UCONN where the refs knew they had to stop UCONN or else state farm would pull the plug on ESPN.
As an LSU graduate, this lady exudes class and respect for her competitors, and the love for her team is very evident. I enjoyed watching this team play....and it was absolutely a TEAM! Great job Hawkeyes on a fantastic season. 🖤💛💜💛
@@HannahDisponett No need to be sassy. Are you saying that the sentence contains a dangling modifier and that, although it claims that "this lady" is "an LSU graduate," what is really meant is that the writer of the sentence is an LSU graduate? A big part of learning to read is coming to an understanding of how grammar works, and the grammar of the sentence in question is conveying a meaning different from the one you infer.
Not just young athletes you impacted ~ but the girls that came before. You made us so so happy. It was not a safe world to be an athlete, and to see you all with such an awesome coach was so uplifting. And in today's world, to see such class, poise, joy AND sportsmanship ~ was an absolute gift. Thank you so much.
It wasn't just young women who were impacted. This team brought joy to so many people across the globe. Their talent, camaraderie, their love for basketball, etc. Every single player contributed to this phenomenal run. This team changed women's basketball forever. Young and old, we all enjoyed watching you play. We were excited when you won, sad when you lost, but realized that no matter the outcome, this team was just fun to watch.
@@shanefox250 I mean MTSU has multiple players from Russia... South Carolina HAD a Brazilian center, now drafted by Chicago Sky... Iowa... every player she recruits looks like they could be first cousins of each other from the same corn field
They exemplified everything that is great about the human condition. Working hard as a team with respect for each other and their opponents. It is this type of pursuit that is the most important thing. When you try your very best, then you can hold your head up high. Thank you, Hawkeyes!
they didn't try their best, most of them made no attempt to play defense at all because they thought 22 would chuck 3's from halfcourt and run the score up... that's not fundamentals... that's not basketball
good way to describe her. she's a government employee. Her bosses told her no more than two black girls on any team, very light skinned, never a dark skin black girl ever... a true servant leader! doing what IOWA POLITICIANS TELL HER TO DO!
Excellent speech by Coach Bluder in both words and tone. Wherever they go and whatever they do in the future this team will take with them the knowledge they may have lost this game, but they have changed they way people, both men and women, regard women's basketball. The interest level, attendance and viewership was unprecedented. Bravo!
@@craigkelm180 ok it's just that 99% of all comments from Iowa fans have the word "class" in them and that's such pervasive racial code language that I thought the KKK was running bots and real people didn't say that. And by the way... Coach Bluder needs to try not to be a loser in national championship games played against the weakest basketball conference in the country. I know it's an impossible task, but I wish she would try.
This coach was able to get this team to the Final 4 twice in two years. She had a huge star in Caitlyn. And she had big stars in every other player, coach, trainer, etc. “Remember, we got this far together.” Memorable words. Go Iowa!
She should’ve played the other teammates in the final game more to give her star player a rest so she could’ve came back in and did better towards the end… she was tired and couldn’t do it by herself… but yet the coach kept her in the WHOLE game … I’m sorry but a great coach would’ve subbed her even if it was for a couple of minutes so she could’ve regrouped and pulled it together…
@@taijoneemagee6221 Her team isn't deep. She didn't trust the bench in that situation. SC is a suffocating #1 defense in the nation. So the way she did load management was leave 22 in all game but just let her stand around on defense so she could save her strength in those skinny arms for desperation heaves. That plan works sometimes so she went with it.
This was a very special team. I tried to watch every game of their’s I could this year. What an incredible journey. Nothing to be ashamed off. They handled every loss with class and dignity. Well done Lady Hawkeyes. 👏🏼 👏🏼 🏀
Yess above all there message was Unity and it created quite a rally cry this year glad i was alive to bear witness something like this has so many lessons that it takes awhile to take it in but Coach Bluder, Clark, Martin and all these girls are awsome they aint 6 ft 6 they ain't trash talkers there are beloved athletes and Was able to unify so many people where people before couldn't thats impressive!
YOU'RE NOT A GAMECOCKS FAN QUIT LYING YOU'RE A BOT you're using the exact same bot layout verbatim as other comments with certain words flipped but there is one word that is the same in every bot comment you're not a real human and if you are, you need to be embarrassed that you're so lame.
What a great speech don’t hangs your heads down be grateful you came this far Iowa Hawkeyes be proud of yourself your fans are!! Lisa Bluder is a great coach along with Jan Jensen awesome!!
Congratulation couch Bluder for bingo the kind of strong and motivator person you are. Thanks for put the seed to grow the basketball game in women. I wish you the best.. from Mexico
While a lot of things are pulling people apart, the Iowa Hawkeyes Women's team was able to bring the country together for a few hours during March Madness. Thank you. Your coach is so right about you. You ladies showed young girls that they can go for whatever dreams with hard work and lots of dedication.
are you a bot? that seems like the identical comment I've heard from every bot so far you better not be human bc if you are that means IOWA fans are really the most unimaginative dumb people on earth
They should have some consolation in the fact that they did beat South Carolina last year in the NCAA Final Four. SC had a 36-0 record and Iowa's record was 30-6. Iowa won 77-73. Caitlin scored 41 points.
By your logic, LSU should have consolation that they won NC last year???? THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE. It's college ball. Every year is different. You're reaching like a coward. SOUTH CAROLINA IS 2024 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS LSU WAS 2023 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS SOUTH CAROLINA WAS 2022 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS... Iowa has NEVER beat the black girls, ever. they beat 5 white girls on the court for the Big 10 championship in 2024, I saw it. If Bluder refuses to recruit dark skin black girls she will never win NC ever.
White america loves her and loves the code language you're using because you're not even attempting to use imagination you're just saying the same bot comment we can find anywhere.
are you for real? how on earth do a billion people make the same comment with no shame or no concern that maybe the HS education taught them more words that aren't dog whistles for something else?
as a Michigan fan,i must say that was an OUTSTANDING speech!!! she spoke from the heart and she spoke the truth, some of us already knew women's basketball is the truth, now the world got to experience what we already knew!!!!
The coach is right, look at how many people were touched by the Iowa team. And of course Catlin Clark brought a lot of notoriety to the team, and not only because of her 3-point shooting but her awesome passing to teammates so they could score. They won a lot more than a piece of metal, they won respect.
I love how you didn't mention 22's absolutely absent defense where she just stood around and caused her team to lose this game... not to mention chucking desperation from half court because she doesn't trust her teammates.
In my mind Iowa is the true champion of women’s college basketball. The impact they had on fans of all ages is far more valuable than any trophy. I admit I never watched women’s basketball until Iowa with Caitlin began making noise.
I hardly ever watched women sports and hated the State of Iowa before these gals came along. They changed how millions look at women's sports. Watching this team was the most fun I've had in a long time. Total class. Thanks. Herstory!!!!
Did we expect anything else from a GREAT coach? No. Coach, I have SO much respect for you. You truly are the wind beneath these young women's wings. Your speech is up there with Knute Rockne. The season is over BUT you are still soaring under the girls. I was hoping they could have pulled this one off, for you, as a team, and Iowa. God Bless. HOLD YOUR HEADS HIGH!
@@slimydick23 I was a coach. The success of an individual and/or team is not based just on winning. Yes, winning is a bonus, who doesn't like to win? I've seen teams that have had losing seasons learn more about the game, themselves, and life then those who won. I was complimenting the coach from Iowa, she's first class. Let's move on.
if she improved it so much why didn't she coach CC to play defense and why didn't she coach gabbie to come back on defense and quit leaving her team in a 5-4 while she tried to run with the inbounds that she wasn't even going to try to steal?
I've never followed a women's sports team more closely in my life. Lol really excited about what they were able to do this year. Great players, great coach, great season! Thank you for the entertainment.
Even though I won $5,000 from betting against them. I want to thank Caitlin Clark the pride and joy of her home state for giving us one of the greatest college players of all time. Thank you! 🙏
It's almost as if she was speaking most of that to Caitlin. I also wish she would have told them hey, these are actually tears of joy. Because I'm so happy and so glad to have coached you seniors and saw everything you were able to accomplish in your careers here. Something like that. These are tears of sadness that we lost their tears of happiness with all that you were able to do
she should have spoke this to CC years ago: "you will need to play defense or nobody will ever respect you in your life you are not special because you can shoot but you refuse to challenge any offensive player"
@@slimydick23 look dick, if that's your name, great offensive players can't be wasting up a lot of energy playing defense. Yes you can play some, but when you are out there on the outside in a guard position you're running around a lot way more way out at the top of the key. And if you're using up your energy doing that, you're not going to be able to lead the team averaging 30 points a game like she did all season. There's just a give and take when you have a obvious all-time great like her. You don't have to agree with me that's just my opinion. Players like that cannot be wasting up their energy on defense. They're running the floor on offense and creating and getting off screens to shoot the ball or dishing out to help her team score and win. You have to be real now
Coach B. was spot on. No treasure, regardless of how it shines is worth more than the journey searching for it, Iowa's run captivated a nation, that wave hasn't yet crested, there are kids that lived in this moment with these young ladies from Iowa, and LSU, UConn, USC (both of them ;) ) WVU and all the other teams in a way not seen in years. when they are wearing the jerseys in a decade or so remember, this legacy belongs to you, and its a far greater thing than any trophy.
@@slimydick23 yes, and the players on those teams as well as those who didnt win but played hard will i hope make up the core of a new wave in the WNBA as well as inspire the kids who dream of wearing a jersey like that one day.
@@mikeholton3914 I think it was Kawhi who was asked at a media availability if there's another rule he would like added to NBA. He said what did other guys suggest? And they said guys are suggesting a 5 point line. He responded...hell no people already don't play the fundamentals.
@@slimydick23 the guys gave up on the fundamentals years ago, hell i doubt they could get through a game without travelling. its just boring as hell to watch, i started watching the girls play because they play a much more pure game. now i see fools out there suggesting lowering the rim to 8 ft for girls so they can all dunk. its just ignorant.
I'm not a basketball coach or player, but I was surprised they played their starters almost the entire game. Four did play the entire game. South Carolina used their bench a lot. Great season regardless.
Don’t forget to celebrate that we got here that’s a powerful significant statement. So many coaches miss that point it’s not that they didn’t try as hard as they could but they just came up against a more talented team hell they beat the previous NC LSU to get there
I'm a Ducks fan an are girls where on there way to winning a title then covid hit. I haven't watched women's basketball since until this team. What a joy to watch. Thank you ladies!!!
Good effort but SC was just the better team. With their bench going crazy and Kamilla snatching everything out of the air that wasn't a bird its hard to win.
ok, so just my observation: as the last two tourneys progressed, you could see the physical toll it was taking on CC. She was up and hard and driving and essentially unstoppable earlier on. But the day in and day out and another game and another game.... it just put a huge strain on her. Her strength was sapped. The reason the team was able to go as far as they did was that the TEAM was chock full of remarkable athletes with huge hearts. They worked together as a team, and although CC had records, she was constantly setting up opportunities for her besties to shine. Had she been at full strength (IMO), it might well have been a different picture. After all, the final score with SC (not to take anything away from them, they're absolutely awesome) might have been something entirely different. Ten games earlier, CC was tossing threes nearly from half court like it was tossing pebbles in a wishing well. As she tired, her ability for nothing but net started to falter. Coach is right: this team did more for ladies' BB than anyone else has ever done. I'm willing to bet whether it's Ice Cube's league or the WNBA that lands CC, ladies BB has entered a new era of viewership.
Not to mention setting viewership records. You ( Hawkeyes Basketball) put Women's college basketball back in the limelight, forefront, whatever you want to call it. No one can Ever take that away. People paid premium to see you play. You handled it with grace. Never hang your head for your season. I bet every other team in D1 wanted the opportunity you earned not once but 2 times in a row. Prepare for the next phase in your life. If you use the energy you used to get where you were in the rest of your life, the sky is the limit. Always remember that. Take pride in the joy gave countless fans rooting for you. May God bless and keep you with him always.
I don't even watch basketball, except for the Iowa girls team. I thought this year was AMAZING, though I literally have nothing else to compare it too.
Wow, a huge part of an amazing team is an awesome coach, and that is just what the coach is. She knew exactly what to say, and she is so right, they did raise the level of women’s basketball with their confidence and personality and definitely talent and determination and dedication to the sport! Absolutely nothing to hang their heads about!!!!
“You have raised this sport to a new level because of the way you played the game” - Lisa Bluder
Proud of you Hawkeyes!
the sport didn't get raised to a new level by full refusal to play defense. Sorry.
Wow! She knew exactly what to say and every word is 💯. Coach Bluder is such a class act. I wish Iowa sustained success going forward.
She is a real teacher!!! great episode
They won't sorry!
Next....
Sad?????? I'm not sad!!!! I am very happy IOWA lost! I bet a ton of money on SC!!!!! MAde a bundle! Why would I be sad????
@@iluvmoney6767, gambling is dumb...you deserve to one day lose everything you have

Last year, I really liked this team. This year, I fell in love with them. I think I’m not alone in this.
Are you a KKK member?
Became an Iowa fan this year. Coach is so classy.
Coach Bluder is my all time favorite coach. I will forever be an Iowa women’s basketball fan even after Caitlin.

@@slimydick23 I was a coach. The success of an individual and/or team is not based just on winning. Yes, winning is a bonus, who doesn't like to win? I've seen teams that have had losing seasons learn more about the game, themselves, and life then those who won. I was complimenting the coach from Iowa, she's first class. Let's move on.
Heck a coach. She doesn't get enough credit for their success.
what success? she has never won a national championship
@@slimydick23 based off other comments you've left, your mind is already made up. So have a good one.
SO proud to call you OUR coach, Coach bluder thank you for for doing what you do for the sport and the women behind you!!
True champions in what matters most!
She really improved her coaching this season
She really did. I don't think she gets enough credit for their success either
if she improved it so much why didn't she coach CC to play defense and why didn't she coach gabbie to come back on defense and quit leaving her team in a 5-4 while she tried to run with the inbounds that she wasn't even going to try to steal?
Now, there is a leader. Win or lose, tears would be shed because of the great senior players who just played their last game together.
All respect to Coach Lisa Bluder...
Great leaders always have the right words in the most difficult situations. Great season Coach, you and your team are why we watched.
I've never followed a women's sports team more closely in my life. Lol really excited about what they were able to do this year. Great players, great coach, great season! Thank you for the entertainment.
They got to do this twice!!!
What an uplifting speech!
ONE CLASS ACT. GREAT SEASON .
Even though I won $5,000 from betting against them. I want to thank Caitlin Clark the pride and joy of her home state for giving us one of the greatest college players of all time. Thank you! 🙏
Great message.
It's almost as if she was speaking most of that to Caitlin. I also wish she would have told them hey, these are actually tears of joy. Because I'm so happy and so glad to have coached you seniors and saw everything you were able to accomplish in your careers here. Something like that. These are tears of sadness that we lost their tears of happiness with all that you were able to do
she should have spoke this to CC years ago: "you will need to play defense or nobody will ever respect you in your life you are not special because you can shoot but you refuse to challenge any offensive player"
@@slimydick23 look dick, if that's your name, great offensive players can't be wasting up a lot of energy playing defense. Yes you can play some, but when you are out there on the outside in a guard position you're running around a lot way more way out at the top of the key. And if you're using up your energy doing that, you're not going to be able to lead the team averaging 30 points a game like she did all season. There's just a give and take when you have a obvious all-time great like her. You don't have to agree with me that's just my opinion. Players like that cannot be wasting up their energy on defense. They're running the floor on offense and creating and getting off screens to shoot the ball or dishing out to help her team score and win. You have to be real now
Best coach out there. She is all about TEAM and genuinely cares about all her players.
So well said!
Those were amazing words
Bluder For Governor
yes please quit as HC be governor let IOWA have a lesbian governor and get a HC who can win NC for a change
This is sportsmanship at its finest. What this team did for the sport as a whole is so more important than any single championship.
I think they impacted all young athletes, girls and boys.
Coach B. was spot on. No treasure, regardless of how it shines is worth more than the journey searching for it, Iowa's run captivated a nation, that wave hasn't yet crested, there are kids that lived in this moment with these young ladies from Iowa, and LSU, UConn, USC (both of them ;) ) WVU and all the other teams in a way not seen in years. when they are wearing the jerseys in a decade or so remember, this legacy belongs to you, and its a far greater thing than any trophy.
lmao, out of the teams you listed there's 3 national championships in past 3 years... THAT is a legacy
@@slimydick23 yes, and the players on those teams as well as those who didnt win but played hard will i hope make up the core of a new wave in the WNBA as well as inspire the kids who dream of wearing a jersey like that one day.
@@mikeholton3914 I think it was Kawhi who was asked at a media availability if there's another rule he would like added to NBA. He said what did other guys suggest? And they said guys are suggesting a 5 point line. He responded...hell no people already don't play the fundamentals.
@@slimydick23 the guys gave up on the fundamentals years ago, hell i doubt they could get through a game without travelling. its just boring as hell to watch, i started watching the girls play because they play a much more pure game. now i see fools out there suggesting lowering the rim to 8 ft for girls so they can all dunk. its just ignorant.
I'm not a basketball coach or player, but I was surprised they played their starters almost the entire game. Four did play the entire game. South Carolina used their bench a lot. Great season regardless.
Don’t forget to celebrate that we got here that’s a powerful significant statement. So many coaches miss that point it’s not that they didn’t try as hard as they could but they just came up
against a more talented team hell they beat the previous NC LSU to get there
My must watch team for 2 years
I'm a Ducks fan an are girls where on there way to winning a title then covid hit. I haven't watched women's basketball since until this team. What a joy to watch. Thank you ladies!!!
She is an awesome coach- so classy!! Go Iowa!
You are great tream iowa i proud of kid luv u
Good effort but SC was just the better team. With their bench going crazy and Kamilla snatching everything out of the air that wasn't a bird its hard to win.
You women gave nothing to be ashamed of. Congratulations on your accomplishments.
ok, so just my observation: as the last two tourneys progressed, you could see the physical toll it was taking on CC. She was up and hard and driving and essentially unstoppable earlier on. But the day in and day out and another game and another game.... it just put a huge strain on her. Her strength was sapped. The reason the team was able to go as far as they did was that the TEAM was chock full of remarkable athletes with huge hearts. They worked together as a team, and although CC had records, she was constantly setting up opportunities for her besties to shine. Had she been at full strength (IMO), it might well have been a different picture. After all, the final score with SC (not to take anything away from them, they're absolutely awesome) might have been something entirely different. Ten games earlier, CC was tossing threes nearly from half court like it was tossing pebbles in a wishing well. As she tired, her ability for nothing but net started to falter. Coach is right: this team did more for ladies' BB than anyone else has ever done. I'm willing to bet whether it's Ice Cube's league or the WNBA that lands CC, ladies BB has entered a new era of viewership.
Not to mention setting viewership records. You ( Hawkeyes Basketball) put Women's college basketball back in the limelight, forefront, whatever you want to call it. No one can Ever take that away. People paid premium to see you play. You handled it with grace. Never hang your head for your season. I bet every other team in D1 wanted the opportunity you earned not once but 2 times in a row. Prepare for the next phase in your life. If you use the energy you used to get where you were in the rest of your life, the sky is the limit. Always remember that. Take pride in the joy gave countless fans rooting for you. May God bless and keep you with him always.
Well said!
What a speech geeeez
I don't even watch basketball, except for the Iowa girls team. I thought this year was AMAZING, though I literally have nothing else to compare it too.
Coach Bluder did a good job there wow.. strong lady
Adding “What Was I Made For” from the Barbie movie was a great touch. ❤
Well said by Lisa
Wow, a huge part of an amazing team is an awesome coach, and that is just what the coach is. She knew exactly what to say, and she is so right, they did raise the level of women’s basketball with their confidence and personality and definitely talent and determination and dedication to the sport! Absolutely nothing to hang their heads about!!!!
Nice job. The ladies NCAA teams were great.
Congratulations to all the men and women who contributed to the enjoyment of watching sports..... With the exception of the officiating of course.
love you caitlin clark go iowa
