AIG Pays for Courtney Paris Guarantee

by LandThieves Women's Basketball correspondent Jenna Plumlee
Norman (LTP) – Earlier this month, Courtney Paris received national attention for a guarantee that the Lady Sooners would win the Women’s national championship. Last week, however, the Sooners were bounced out of the Big 12 tourney in the semi-finals.

Today, during AIG CEO Edward Liddy’s testimony before Congress, Liddy stated that the Sooners loss to the Texas A&M in the Big 12 tourney constituted a “technical default” on Paris’ guarantee to the Sooner nation. As a result, the troubled insurance giant has paid the University of Oklahoma approximately $64,000.

Paris was unaware she purchased an insurance policy regarding the guarantee, prompting further calls into oversight of the operations of AIG.

Next OU Women's Coach

Poop, you wanted pics of Coach Coale. I did a little searching on the intertubes for a good pic for you, and instead found Coach Coale's successor, should she decide to retire. Lisa Curliss-Taylor is a Sooner grad, easy on the eyes and appears to be climbing the coaching ranks as well. She's no Pokey Chatman, that's for sure.

p.s. Two posts in a row about womens' college hoops. I'm probably going to lose my three readers.

Coach Coales' Laundry

interesting thoughts here from Coach Coales. I would think with her making $800k and all, she could afford the laundry bill.
