Well, thanks for your great respect for my credentials as a professional journalist for 35 years, many of them spent covering women's basketball. :cool: With that said, I certainly didn't say they shouldn't go there and do their best. You never know unless you play. Realistically, though, it's...

I thought they had a very good chance of doing so. UConn was not a dominant team at that time. They kicked it up a notch right after they lost to the LVs, but they were not at that level when the teams played.

No one is beating UConn this season, and especially not in Hartford. Chalk that up as an L and move on.

I had to double-check after reading this thread and make sure that the LVs did win on the road against a ranked SEC opponent by double digits. To read some of these comments, you'd have thought they'd been boat-raced by ETSU or something.

That should be the rule for everyone. Go into the portal if you like, but there's no going back.

Geno was at UConn for several years before he signed Lobo. His first Final Four even came before her. If you recall, he was in the Final Four in '91 where Pat and the LVs won their third title against a Virginia team featuring Dawn Staley. Lobo came in the next season, but they didn't contend...

IIRC, the book Johnny had ghostwritten after the '85 season said that the talent at UT in 1977 was comparable to what he had inherited at Pitt, which had been 1-10 the season before he took over. Those years are a little before my time; I'm 52 and the first UT football season I can really...

Go to 24 teams just like the FCS does. If some of the bowl venues want to host games, fine. If some bowls can stay in business by serving as an "NIT" for teams not in the playoffs, that's fine too. You don't need any autobid/G6 controversy; if you can't make the top 24, which Tulane and JMU...

Who the heck was going to hire a guy who wasted as much talent as he did in 2015-16 and then went 0-8 in the SEC the next year? Even all these years later, he's going 7-6 and playing in weedeater bowls at Arky State, and I'm not hearing anything about him getting another shot at a P4 job, even...

I don't feel so bad about losing to OU after they spanked Bama again. Letting the Dawgs steal that one still hurts, though.

The point was made. Beating a UF team in 2025 with a bad losing record isn't going to do a thing to undo 1993 or 1995. Get the W, get out of that dump and let's whip Vandy's ass and keep them out of the playoffs. :)

None of it matters now that there is a real playoff in the FBS. Take care of business and you'll get a shot at the natty, and the AP and the coaches have nothing to do with it. Texas, Penn State and Clemson aren't taking care of business. Texas is laughable, though. Those idiots in the AP poll...

Dude, Duke did the exact same thing one year before and then also lost the Rose Bowl to USC, 7-3. The Trojans hit four straight passes with a backup QB at the end of the game and beat the "Iron Dukes" with 40 seconds left in the game. And no one that I know of chose Tennessee as the national...

Vandy talked the talk, they have to walk the walk.

You'd have more credence if you knew how to spell Silvan's name correctly. Whether or not he was even guilty has always been in question. And even if he was guilty, the following things are also true: 1. Phil Fulmer had nothing to do with Silvan's conduct off the field and outside of the...
