I'm not sold on the format. Seems to me women's sports, namely, basketball is being shoved to the back burner on gvx. There has not been a decent article on the subject all summer.
Oh sure, football and Tim Tebow IS WHAT'S HAPPENING, but I'm interested in what's happening in other arenas. Could we not have more than a few snippets on women's basketball? Why do we have to wait until November to see some news on the '09-'10 Lady Vols?
