I thought she was about as good an analyst as I've heard doing the Duke men's exhibition game last year. A promising career path when she's done playing, perhaps.

Abby makes us all proud. She is a ray of sunshine and best of luck to her and the WBB team this year.

Abby is a multi talented youg women with bright future. She has really represented Duke well.

I was thinking to myself that she'll have Jay Bilas' job one day, but I bet she will be doing even more than him. She seems multi-faceted, if she's handling a football game, so will be able to represent more than just basketball. Best of luck to her, expecially in the upcoming season!

"A promising career path when she's done playing, perhaps."

Keep in mind that the WNBA season doesn't really overlap with the college-basketball season. So it is entirely possible that the career paths could overlap.

She does a nice job on the David Cutcliffe Duke football show. When she graduates, the world will be at her feet!

She'll take Erin Andrews' job. Erin will be retiring from ESPN and moving in with me. Take that Throaty!

Whoa.... tread lightly, my man. You don't know what Throaty is capable of. Especially after a Pepsi 152.

Saw her on the sidelines, how'd she do?

Got it here in NYC on ESPNU. Very articulate and likeable. My ignorance, but this was my first time seeing her in this role. Professional in demeanor and performance.

[zingit]

We saw her interviewing Henderson and Singler on the sidelines. Anyone remember what they said?

[killerleft]

Singler and Henderson just doing some general yakkin' 'bout the students at Wally Wade and Coach K's Olympic greatness. Kyle, I think, was intimidated by Abby. Along with her obvious love of the camera, she's become even prettier!

Abby makes me proud of Duke.

She was good. However, the ESPNU folks had microphone problems with her several times.

She did a good feature about the Duke Lemur Center!:cool:

Cheers,

If the Duke women don't make the Final Four, ESPN should hire her immediately as a studio analyst. She will be there anyway for the WNBA draft, and she's got to be better than Kara Lawson.
