| Funny thing I remembered reading on Kyra Elzy. During one of the KY games this year I was reading the comments (on yahell, I think) from fans...and some Lady Vols fans watching the game were complaining that our players needed full body armor to compensate for the agressive defense of KY. A Ky fan said "...you have one of your own former players to blame, Elzy is the one behind that, not Mitchell....she's the one who tells them to always put a body on somebody every second of the game....." and, "she's like Pat II"... then they went on to say that Elzy has a lot of influence in the poster's opinion by opining that they paid more attention to her than Mitchell in practice.
I just took it with a large grain of salt at the time....but I just remembered reading it.

But the kid learned to body up, played GREAT GREAT Defense. Couldnt freaking dribble. And since she never grew to be 6'8", or even close, basketball was not in her future. But man, she absolutely ruled the defensive end of the court in rec ball here in Rednecksville!!!
And now, that competitive fire, and outstanding GPA (haha) are lighting up the LadyVols Rowing team!! | |

Walked on to Football team. Lasted 3 weeks, until I got my kneecap broken.  Lesson: Walkons should never laugh at the Starting Free Safety.
Went to the Marching Band where I belonged. Perfected my skirtchasing/drinking/deer roping skills (in that order).
Was invited by the President of the University to take a year to think about it, I think he signed the letter himself. So I went back to MSU. Rinse and Repeat.
3 weeks of college football, 2 years of college marching band (and a drumline national championship) qualified me to play 2 years of Semi-Pro Football, and to coach a couple years of HS ball and a bajillion city league baseball/softball/basketball games.
Anyways, moved here 2 weeks before my daughter started HS (Job related), which unfortunately cost her a HS basketball career. But Im certain that it helped create a college Rowing career. Everything happens for a reason. | |

| So, you earned your scars and can rightfully take your place a Vols fan. Just do it.
