hockey is much better than soccer.

As someone who played and loves the sport of soccer, hockey is much more fun for a general sports fan to watch. No argument. Soccer is a game of endurance with slow-developing tactics/schemes that the vast majority of viewers don't understand or see.

That said, the best time to watch a soccer game is the final 30 minutes of any World Cup game. That's when it's action packed and exciting.

Sun Belt Conference Regular Season and Tournament titles

Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year honors

An NCAA Tournament appearance


University of Tennessee (2024–Present): In her inaugural season with the Lady Volunteers, Caldwell has guided the team to an 18-6 record as of February 2025. Notable achievements include:

Setting an NCAA record with 30 made three-pointers in a single game against NC Central

A projected No. 16 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, positioning the team to host the first two rounds



Odds of Reaching the Sweet 16:

While specific odds for the Lady Vols advancing to the Sweet 16 are not readily available, several indicators suggest a favorable outlook:

National Championship Odds: Tennessee is listed with 66-1 odds to win the 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship . This reflects a competitive standing among collegiate programs.

Home-Court Advantage: Securing a top-16 seed allows Tennessee to host the initial tournament rounds at Thompson–Boling Arena, where they benefit from strong fan support.

Imagine if 18 year olds today we're sent into something like that. . .

Never know, some don’t realize their strength until they’re forced to

Agreed. Not amazing entertainment most of the time, nowhere near hockey. I played it and love it but I rarely have the patience these days to sit down and enjoy a full match.

Just finished the last episode of The Pacific War in Color……
One grandfather was at Pearl Harbor on 12-7-41 and other was in the Philippines.

It was “the greatest generation.”

My great grandfather was in the Phillipines. He was assigned as the personal guard of the Governor of Luzon after the Battle of Luzon. They ended up becoming great friends and sent letter years after. We still have a Damascus steel machete he gifted my great grandfather.
