Congratulations to Taber for her selection to the Under 19 training camp for the US Team. This will provide with experience that will help her contribute from the moment she steps on the court for the Lady Vols. Let's hope she performs well and earns a spot on the team.

You know there are some good NBA games going on. Quit being such a fagget and quit ragging on Pat Summitt. The season is long gone and you still jealous of her. You are pathetic and it is obvious you don't have much of a life. Be a man and watch some of those NBA games, it might make you tuff.

Here, here, long_voll! I agree 100% with your philosophy. I have not had opportunity to see Spani but we darn sure need a player of character, stamina and one who is courageous enough to kick some timid butt. I agree we are way too soft and. We need a Dana Johnston type who would knock you out and never change her expression.

This wide-eyed timidity has to cease. If Pat grabs your ear and calls you out, "rebound" and take control of your emotions as well as the game. DO NOT give her reason to call you out again. Get yourself in game shape long before you step on campus. Do not wait until it is too late and then wish you had not blown the opportunity to be a champion. Finally, PLEASE DON'T come to Tennessee if you do not have the will to work your rear off, and allow Pat to lead you to a National Championship podium.
