At some point the bubble may burst, but as of now, Heupel has proven all the naysayers wrong. Many of our "experts" thought Danny White was out of his mind when he hired him. They wanted a "Big Name" coach. I, for one, was excited to see him hired, and have been very pleased that he has...

I love the Lady Vols, and I love & appreciate all Kellie has done for us, but I am disappointed in the fact she does not bring the fire she had as a player. Her teams are outhustled regularly; do not improve on handling the ball; fail to box out; refuse to switch as opponent heads toward the...

Would like to have gotten him just for the public perception, but I am happy with the guys we are getting who truly love Tennessee. They will put their hearts into it, and they will be winners. He is gone to Miami. It has to be the money because no one in their right mind would go there over...

Don't want to be negative, but the fact is, Jordan Walker is more of a liability at point guard. She makes a good play every now and then, but the careless passes and turnovers are killers. I do not believe she will see much time the other people we have coming in. I want to see us push the...

We played badly, but, I believe a lot of it was caused by our players realizing they had to be extra cautious. The rules are different in Arkansas. For instance, if our guys breath out while waiting on a driving player for Arkansas, it is a block. On the other hand, Arkansas draws the...

Talk about going from the Penthouse to the Outhouse in a short time. Our men played a great game and ran Kentucky out of the gym on Tuesday night, and our Lady Vols go to Alabama on Thursday night and embarrass themselves and everyone who pulls for them simply because they did not have any...

I get more excited than I should when my team goes into a 3-9 SEC team and does not want to play. There is no getting around it. We stunk the place up. Acted like we wanted to play a little in 4th, but way too late and way too little. Also, probably lost our best player. If they had been...

Have been a Lady Vol fan since they began, and this year I was very excited about the wins we were getting, but always felt like the bubble would burst. Good teams will not, and cannot, play as if it doesn't matter. Every possession is very important. Our team plays if they do not believe...

I think your reply is a little tainted. You need to take a look at the two teams we have lost to in the past week. They are not elite. As a matter of fact, they have been steamrolled by some bad teams. It is not as if we were playing top 2 or 3 teams in the country, or even close to the...

Kellie was mentally tough, but sadly, none of that has rubbed off on this group. They play soft, and all the opponents have found that if they put pressure on us, we fall apart. Sad.

Didn't even dream we could play more pathetic than we did against Auburn, but little did I know. We have very, very serious problems. Started the year so great, but last several games, we have looked worse than awful. It seems we have lost the will not only to win, but even to play and be...

Amazing. She has been playing, and is an outstanding playing on a state championship team. Her heart is in Tennessee. All this garbage by people who don't have a clue disgust me. Most of the same ones who would slam Edie, are the ones who praise point guards we have had, and have, who cannot...

Must be another covid-type variant passed on to our men's team from our Lady Vols because we look just like the Lady's looked at Auburn. No one has their head into this game. Pitiful.

NIL and transfer portal are both disastrous ideas. There is not sensible or reasonable explanation for either. They will destroy amateur athletics. ' Why should one athlete be paid, while another does not? How can a team be built with so many "I" players? Human nature will cause disunity...

I am certainly not worried about Rae. I got sick at my stomach when she went down; thought our season may be shot, but so happy to have her back. I have as much faith in Rae as anyone on our team. She will be fine. She got some credit last year, but not as much as she deserved. Rae is one...
