Pat Summitt

Her piece on the ESPYS tonight was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Makes me even more proud to be a Vol fan. Pat, Peyton, Candace Parker and Tennessee were all trending on Twitter. The Vols are conquering the world!! VFL!!!

The most impressive thing that stood out to me was "in 38 years of coaching, she graduated all of her players". WOW!

Greatest documentary I've ever seen. Pat is truly a class act and the most courageous woman I've ever met. God Bless Pat Summitt!

It created a rare tear-up for me. That or some dust got in my eyes. It was one of the best pieces I've ever seen on ESPN. I'd love to see a 30on30 done on her.

I think my allergies are acting up. Honestly, a very moving segment and a great representation of our icon. Pat is a shining example of what can be great in college sports.

Great piece on Pat.
When Tyler walked on stage with her, he is wearing an A pin on his jacket. Is that Alzeimer's pin? Looks like the Alabama "A"
