This year's winner of the C. Montgomery Burns Award...

... for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence has to be Kim Mulkey, right? She really was the first piece of Baylor's turnaround in sports, and her second national championship (80-61 over Notre Dame last night) was only one indicator of the good she has done on that campus.

Way to go Lady Bears!



[I do realize that recognizing actual achievement like Kim Mulkey's may not be within the spirit of the original C. Montgomery Burns Award, but I just really like the phrase "Outstanding achievement in the field of excellence" and think it fits here....]

Comments:
Last night was pretty sweet, as was 2005. I give Coach Kim all the credit. I don't think Brittney Griner would be the complete player she is without Kim Mulkey.
 
I attended this event in Denver, and it was great fun, for Baylor people.

Beyond Mulkey's obvious leadership and ability to run a WBB program, she is a great spokesman and representative for Baylor, and an impassioned advocate for her players. Her rebuke of those silly people who assault Griner in a variety of ways on a deeply personal level was commendable.
