| Also, last thing here, then I will hang up and listen:
Im currently listening to sports talk radio back in Lansing MI. (It is my morning routine here in Rednecksville) It has been 40 minutes now and all they have talked about is Coach Summitt. Thats pretty good respect right there, to get the top of a show in a place that isnt even an SEC town. Im sure that she will carry most of the conversation there today. And rightfully so. |

| How lucky has UT been? Two legendary coaches and people, General Neyland and Pat Summit.

| Never be the same in all of women college basketball. She was the mother of all mothers of women college basketball. Very sad day for women college basketball. Thanks Coach Summit  |

| My x-sister in law (whom I still adore-yes, i married the wrong sister) was in a dorm at UTM next to Pat! She use to tell stories about Pat walking around campus w/ a BB under her arm always and about how focused she was on being the best she could be at "everything". That kind of dedication is extremely hard to find but has served her well.
God Bless Pat.....a VFL!!!

| Emerita, not emeritus...
Thanks for the ride, and thanks for the memories, and thanks for being such a class act, and such a representative for the University of Tennessee, and such a role model for girls and women --and people --everywhere. 
God bless you, and may He make your road smooth and easy. | |

God bless you, and may He make your road smooth and easy. | I thought it should read "emerita" also, but I've seen it done that way so many times with other things (and I'm old and things like that slip away) so I really am not sure which is proper. Any classical scholars here?

emeritus, masculine singular (or gender-neutral)
emeritae, feminine plural
emeriti, masculine or mixed plural
Same with alumna, alumnus, alumnae, alumni.
I'm a raging feminist from way back, but I do like the proper terms.  | |
