Italofrog, we have our wayward boys & girls down here just like you do in CT. Your comments are truthful, accurate, and heartfelt. I completely agree with you.
However, I have read some equally nasty comments from UCONN fans about Pat. It is the nature of an intense rivalry that is passionately embraced by each side.
Civility is still alive and both groups need to practice it more. Thanks for your input. I look forward to a 2009 NC game with UCONN.
Take care. God bless you & yours.

Folks, Babe Ruth signed a baseball contract during President Hoover's administration and was questioned about why he was making more money than the President of the United States. His answer was simple and to the point - "I had a better year than he did!"
Well, Pat has had two better years than Geno!!!
Gentlemen, we cannot consolidate the two AD positions. The main reason the Lady Vols have the #1 program in the nation is that they have their own AD whose main duty is to see that all the different Lady Vol programs have the necessary support to compete and win.
The postings of several people here make it quite plain that they would strip the Lady Vols of all their strength by throwing them in one department that would be totally dominated by men who think like DA or ZR. Now that is a scary situation.
It does not make us less a man when we whole-hearted support a womens program, especially one as unique and special as Pat's Lady Vols.
By the way, the blue must stay. It looks great and the dominate color is still orange. The blue allows the "Lady Volunteers" to be seen more easily.
Bottom line: Pat is worth a raise especially after two more NCs. Quite simply, she had a better year!!!

BillVol, what point would we be making? That we don't appreciate everything that Pat does for UT, not just the women's programs??? We have the #1 program because we have the #1 coach so her salary should reflect that #1 status!!!
ZR, you really should understand the Lady Vols program before you start suggesting changes that only represent your low IQ and lack of respect for the Lady Vols.

Candace, congrats to you and thanks for being a strong role model for those ten-year-old girls out there wanting to "be like Candace."
We love you in the Orange Nation! Thanks for the wonderful memories!!! Go CP3!!!!!!

Folks, it will be an interesting and, I predict, an entertaining year of Lady Vol bball. Cait will be fine and so will Cain. Those two bonded on the bench and in rehab this past season. Just think of the possibilities of a connected PG and Post!!! It tickles the funnybone of this old coach!
Remember those comments by CP3 about watching the game from the bench during her freshman season? It was a great learning experience for her. That was one of the reasons her next three years were so great!
Y'all have basically not mentioned the other guard, SS - Sydney Smallbone. She was almost overwhelmed by the Lady Vol/college game but she didn't quit or give up. She will be a positive player for Pat in the upcoming year.
Now Vicki Baugh, man, that girl is poised for a strong soph. season if the knee allows it. She learned and improved every game she was in this past season. It took TRUE GUTS & TEAMWORK for her to yell encouragement to her teammates when they were standing, looking dazed by her injury. That is selfless! I wanted to hug her and then crush Stanford!!!!!!
Yes, our Lady Vols are young and inexperienced, however, they have great desire, determination, and the mental focus to play bball at the Tennessee level. Oh, did I forget someone??? Yeah, they have the best coach in the land and she knows how to get the very best out of her Lady Vols. Just check the past history and listen to her former players.
Pat will experiment with the starting lineup. It won't be a case of who starts but who plays the best on both ends of the court. I wish it was November already!!!
According to Pat, there are no freshmen by NCAA tournament time! Go Lady Vols!! #9 in '09 will be fine!!!

Vicki, keep the faith and work hard. Listen to Jenny and all will be fine. Lady Vols have a proven track record of doing fine after this type of injury. Sidney Spencer did fine and so did T. Catchings!!! That's pretty good company!
You will be in our prayers and thoughts. Remember, do what Jenny says!!!!!
God bless you & yours.

Congrats to Semeka!!! Now we know why she wasn't in the mix for Nikki's slot. She was already working OU!!!
I'm sure Geno has more than one player (Jen R.) or assistant who is coaching elsewhere but I don't know them! Does anybody know the numbers and places?? Thanks! Go Lady Vols!

fifet, go post on the UCONN site where they will love your tacky opinions!
No person can be around Pat for 23 days and be lazy, much less 23 years!!!
Post something that will show some thought, IF YOU CAN!

98reax,
Where will Pat put them? She will only have 1-2 scholarships available!
Remember, this fall we have 7 freshmen, 4 sophs, & 1 senior. The '09 class will be small, one or two. Pat will probably only have one or two in '10 as well. The '11 class will be tricky!
That is why she really doesn't like to have some many recruits in one year. However, I'm sure that Pat will handle the situation well.
Go Lady Vols!!! Get #9 in '09!!! Believe!!!

Jacksonlover75 - get a life!!! Don't post if you can't be positive, especially when it is concerning an injury! Better yet, just go away!
Angie, take care of yourself!!! Listen to Jenny and do exactly as she says!!! Keep Vikki in line, too. We need both of you on the floor for the upcoming season. Go Lady Vols!!!
#9 in '09 will be fine!
