I don't know who said it first, but I agree. This will get ugly in here. I can't find my way out of here. Uh oh, it's sinking sss . ann .....

On Fulmer gets raise to $2.4 million; Pearl to $1.6 million

With all this junk going on about the geno multimillion salary, jerks like WorkinLikeHeck talking out of his bloomers about football, Candace is just going about her business playing trememdous basketball, winning all kinds of awards. I wish we could have a rookie Candace-like coming in this fall. Hopefully one of our Lady Vols will step up and fill the void CP3 has left. I'm anxious for the season to start. WNBA TV coverage is a real joke. We can read a few paragraphs about it but we sure as heck can't watch it on TV.

Excuse me, did you say 'think?' tenn32, I don't think those 2 posters have equipment to think. They surely have no respect for women. Difficult to believe they were born of woman. Perhaps spawned from archaic bozoid.

ONUV, is it because women don't deserve to be on the same level as men, or is it because women's basketball is not enjoyed by as many men? What is your reasoning for such an arrogant chauvinistic statement? Do not tell me that it has nothing to do with your contempt for the female gender. Do not tell me "it's all about money." That would be another STUPID statement. Maybe that's embarrassing to you. But why?

NEWS FLASH!!

Now leading the pack of bozo posters is DA4BigO, what a jealous wiennie, a close 2nd would still be ZR, not smart enough to be jealous. Not too far in 3rd place is the jerk from memphis, go figure. You all act like it's coming out of your deep pockets. Get a life. Everything is about money to you or you would not be so opinionated about Pat's salary. It's just your insecurities leaking through. She could dress all three of you down in a Smoky Mountain second while running her 20th mile, reviewing last season's game tapes, coordinating her ensemble for her 1000-career-win game and planning her next acceptance speech for her 10th National Championship. You fellas can do nothing but squirt. Well squirt on, big boys, you will never reach the level of Pat Summitt's shoe strings.

What a busy forum we have here. This is great stuff. Some totally idiotic, one (russ) ridiculously senseless. Better not take those little girls to the mall or to the beach or the grocery store either unless you are ready to explain a lot of things you may see. You will see "alternative lifestyles" wherever you go, so either put on the blinders or park it at the house. If and when you have little girls teach them about casting the first stone.

You may see some ugly sights right out your own window, russ, but don't paint the whole world with such a broad brush as to color all people the same as you. Please don't teach any little people to do that.

Lady Vol basketball is a very entertaining, wholesome leisure activity. All kinds of people enjoy it. Don't try to ruin it for people by casting aspersions as to others' lifestyles.

Fortunately Lady Vol basketball does not screen ticket holders on things such as lifestyle preference, or their favorite icecream flavor. They do not ask "do you drink occasionally?"; "Do you ever cheat on your wife?" 'Do you prefer paper or plastic?" Just please recycle. Enjoy the game russ, don't worry about the other fans unless they're named geno, or they're stealing your popcorn. Most likely they're there to see great Lady Vol basketball coached by the greatest basketball coach in the nation who has earned whatever salary the powers that be decide to give her.

Unbelievable. What a bunch of idiots. Smalltike, ZR, Billvol, why do you even pretend to have a clue? Every time you post you sound more like a bozo.

I too am in a 'displaced persons care' field. I often wonder who decided automotive repair is more valuable than people repair. Who set these priorities? I pay a life's savings to get my loved one the best possible care while the dedicated professionals who provide that care make less than the paper carrier or the McDonald's burger flipper. What's up with that?

That being said, geno earns every penny of his dough. After all the man is a traveling sideshow. His whining and crying is way more dramatic than Days of Our Lives. His prancing, preening and shenanigans on the sidelines is comparable to a bad season of Dancing With The Stars. Consider the scuffles with his assistant coach a rivalry not secondary to the WWE or Extreme Fight League; and all this for the price of a single ticket. What's the old B&W classic game show where they have a panel of celebrities to guess which of the three guests are really who they claim to be, To Tell The Truth? Now geno should've been there, "I'm not lying, ask Pat." Oh come on, geno needs his big salary to go with his big ego.

Who gives a big fat rat's patoot what geno gets? Not I. As for Pat Summitt, she couldn't care less either. And you, Alfrizz, Pat and Coach Fulmer donate mega bucks to the university annually not to mention what they contribute of their time. Their name alone is a huge draw convincing students to enroll at UT. How about the scholarship set up by Coach Pearl already?

Your tuition will continue to increase whether we have Pat or Bruce or any old tom, dick or nohairy geno. That's just the way it goes. You are going to pay higher prices for tomatoes no matter salary your bag boy earns. Stop hating on deserving coaches who help make UT one of the ELITE universities in the country.

As for the millionaires, if you keep your mind on your studies and apply yourself, you could be on that level too, then we'll see how much you contribute to your alma mater.

This stuff does my heart good. These ladies are so unselfish. Giving back to the fans and to those less fortunate is the true spirit of Tennessee Volunteers. It's great to be a Tennessee Vol. These are professional athletes who practice, practice and have games almost every day during their season, and yet they make time to do such admirable things with kids in the community. Catch is a special alum, for sure.
