A poster reading "Can't Beat Clawdia" with Claudia Dicky in her OL Reign keeper kit and obscenely badly photoshopped lobster arms.
The @theathletic.com claims Lynn invented Claw-dia but the true story is that one absolutely deranged fan (me) invented and has been building that brand for the best US keeper for years. Please put in the papers that I am annoyed.
A thread...

there is something endearing about T discovering Mount Rainier for the first time hahaha
it's a pretty good hat
This week is....
Coco calling herself the Great Value version of Rafa on clay 🤣🤣🤣
I would have loved to read a piece where every single W coach and GM breaks down anonymously why the top two picks have generational skills (as Cheryl said) and in what way they are different from what already exists in the W. No one thought to write that story.
Truly just been so damn disappointed in W media in general throughout this college season
You had a generational shooter to cover all year, someone who was breaking records and doing this after fighting adversity and no one properly covered it at all
Thank you Andrew.
To all media members, especially straight white people: learn something.
Time to start the W legacy now 🫡
She's gonna come after her namesake's 3P% record and start the climb to breaking DT's record.
Also we coming for that three point contest Sabrina 👀
*opens brand new excel sheet*
Look at my favorite player aka the number 1 pick aka a generational shooter sought after by at least 6 top teams this year (and last year too).
Despite all her adversity, she still ended up number 5 on UConn's career 3P made with 25-40 less games played and the third fastest rate of scoring them.
This is probably the last time they play here until the next time we have grass maybe in 2031 lol
I am 0-2 when photographing uswnt in Seattle 😭
my favorite player went number 1.
ROTY campaign starts now.
Also three point contest winner campaign.
yea I need a flow chart lol
Me too ugh
Gabby and Alysha both gone.
his and hers is a wild show
called one thing but absolutely didn't call the other
also me: tank for sarah strong lfg
Lmao they really do use a random name generator don't they...
Today's discovery.
Azzi Fudd and Alex Karaban both have the same birthdays: November 11, 2002.
Yes they both got the Natty while playing for UConn but the really fun fact:
They both finish their careers with 292 threes (Azzi was 292/692 or 42.2% and Alex was 292/780 or 37.4%).
Wow.
Thinking about how the top 2 high school players for 2020, 2021, and 2022 all won a natty and one of them had a MOP in their respective finals too.
Paige and Angel (MOP)
Azzi (MOP) and Raven
Lauren (MOP) and Kiki
Pretty incredible.
Jordan furniture is probably relieved lol
wait I just realized baby betts can wear 51 now
(The slam cover curse lives on btw lol)
Last year, Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd & Sarah Strong combined to score 368 points for UConn - a record for a trio.
This year, the senior class of UCLA (6 players) combined for 424 points.
The number 1 (AZ35) and 2 (LB51) picks both being national champions and MOPs and the nicest human beings on earth who each battled their own adversity :)
The number 1 and 2 picks both being national champions and MOPs :)
Man - two players I absolutely love winning MOP back to back :)
And if you don't believe us:
1) they only scouted 35 all year
2) they only hired guard coaches that specialize in a system for this particular backcourt that requires high volume accurate three point shooting and full court press
3) they had their pick before the tournament and said so
