It's 2016, ladies, not 1958--though I know Southerners still wish we were in the 1950s. ("Harlan took the truck and I can't find my bible.") Oh, and PS's been gone for a while. I happy to know that the soccer and rowing teams, for example, are not called the Lady Vols--and have never been the Lady Vols. They're Vols--like everybody at the university. It's time to put the old era behind us. The sooner we do that, the sooner we might have a respectable women's basketball program again--one with some youth and vitality.

Did anyone else on here know that there was a time when the soccer team was NOT ALLOWED to be called "Lady Vols"? Back in the 1980s, when women's soccer was a club sport, they could not be called the "Lady Vols" because the women's athletic department had trademarked the name for use only by female scholarship athletes. I remember the Daily Beacon published a story about one of the games the women's soccer team had played and the reporter called them the "Lady Vols". The next day following publication of that article, Joan Cronan called the Sports Club director who over sees the administration of all the club teams and blessed him out over the phone because the lowly women's soccer club team had dared to call themselves "Lady Vols". In reality, they had not. It was the Daily Beacon reporter that used the name. I never really had a favorable view of Joan Cronan after that especially since the Sports Club Director nor the entirety of the women's soccer club or their coach had anything to do with the matter. It seemed to me that any female athlete representing the University of Tennessee should be able to call themselves a "Lady Vol".
