Not an engineer, but -40F = CAF

Hint one F= A temperature measurement system, the other F is a widely used expletive.

I don’t care about the host country at all. I am an Olympic junkie. I don’t care what the sport is…what I can’t stand all the back stories. Yes there is a lot of sacrifices for every Olympic athlete. I just want to watch the events. My wife loves all the back stories…😐

Doc - I’m the same. My wife loves the sappy backstories. I think the Winter Olympics are actually more exciting than the Summer Olympics. Watched snowboarding last night and luge this morning.

we actually had a bunch of neighbors over for dinner last night and curling was on. If you watch it for a while and pay attention to the strategies, it really gets pretty entertaining to watch!

I love the Olympics. I don’t understand not watching it because of where it’s held. We have athletes competing. Go USA!

I'll support her while she's coach here, which I expect to be a while. However, I have zero confidence that she'll ever be more than average. She either is incapable of coaching any semblance of offense or she doesn't care. The street ball, one on one offense will never get it done. As with Holly, if you're good with just making the tournament and mostly 1st and second round exits, she's your coach (I suspect that's good enough for the UT administration).

As to only commenting after losses, I kept my mouth shut when some were ribbing me when they won a few games. I didn't say a thing after the inexcusable Auburn loss. I posted that these days were coming. Many more losses are headed the Lady Vols way. I said it 2 months ago. You can't be a very good basketball team with zero offensive scheme.

We both did as you know. It just is what it is. Women's basketball does not have the level of basketball athleticism as the men's game. So the LV's can exist in the bottom tier of the top 25 based solely on individual skills/athleticism for as long as people remember the Pat's years and can steer some decent players our way. But who now remembers La Tech's prominence and domination of the game? They of the MWC and 9-9 record today. How about ODU?

To be what the LV's used to be, elite, they need development, a current offensive system, and game day leadership. Don't see it. Hope it changes for her and the program's sake before they completely lose the value of their past tradition.

My wife asked me about the Olympics last night. I said the opening ceremonies are on. She said let's watch. I turned them on and they were doing all the light show stuff. I asked her, do you really like this sh!t? She said yeah. I said ok. A few minutes later she fell asleep. I changed the channel. 🤫

I'm the same. I sincerely hope that she does something to fix that O. I really want her to succeed. I just have little confidence she will. She's got a hugely long leash though. I suspect they'll be fine with 20 wins and the occasional sweet sixteen.

It’s the equivalent of not watching Tennessee play in Tuscaloosa, Athens, or the swamp because you abhor the evils per the host university. I know that it’s totally different, but wtf. Gotta watch!

Second favorite country to root for? The Netherlands since they wear Tennessee Orange. Or close enough…🤠
