Personally, I lurk the "Recruiting Forum Football Talk" thread to read about football recruiting. I wish more posters would use the off topic thread when appropriate.

Which is ironic. Exactly how everyone felt about Pat's teams (preUCONN). So dominant that they became the villains.

Pat was the best thing that happened to the women's game. Uconn becoming relevant was what kept it going. Pat's sickness and TN falling off has hurt the sport greatly even though other teams are still getting better, which is what the sport needs more than anything. There will never be two individual teams as dominant in their sport as UCONN and Tennessee were in the heights of their powers. They were the Lakers/Celtics of the 80's. Only they did it for nearly 20 years instead of ten. Many of us don't like Geno, but he gave Pat someone to work against and I think it made her a much better coach in the long run, even if she has less titles as a result.

My view is the opposite.

Without Tennesseans there would be no Texas.

Without General Neyland, there would be no Bear Bryant.


Without Coach Pat Head Summitt, there would be no Geno Auriemma.

:salute:

Coach Pat, as long as there are VFLs, you will be revered. (And there will always be VFLs)

Two options, pick one.

A - 10-2 (6-2) Losses to Alabama and Florida. Win SEC East and play LSU in SEC Title game.
B- 10-2 (6-2) Losses to Georgia and A&M. Miss out on SEC East w/ UGA winning it and them playing LSU

I honestly would almost take option B, getting those two monkey's off our back would be huge and I am not confident we'd win in Atlanta anyway. Going undefeated in Neyland would be epic.

Not sure which scenario would be spun more favorably.

I know, I know you take the East title and don't question it but this is really hard to me!

If I had to choose one of those I take A. Going to Atlanta is expected this year. However, I am so sick and tired of losing to Florida that B is appealing as well. How about option C, loses to Bama and A&M. Play Bama in the SECCG and win.

A
But then again I read in the fb forum also.
The thought of them no longer building monuments and falling into the fetal position at the mere mention of Florida, does sound enticing.

I will disagree with one thing. Pat was the best thing to happen to women's sports period. She had one of the best coaching minds ever. I believe she would have been successful at any sport men's or women's.
