When I first started following the Lady Vols and women's basketball in general in the mid 1990s, you could almost guarantee that SC was going to be at the bottom of the SEC, year in and year out. Now look at them. Kentucky was in a similar situation back then too. Now they are SEC Champs. I...
I can remember when I first started following the Lady Vols and there was consistency in play and determination from the starters to the walk-ons. Amanda Canon, Sarah Edwards, Sydney Smallbone, and others played with the same tenacity and smarts as the starters they subbed for. Seems to me the...
This is not the article I remember. It was told from Pat's perspective. However, this confirms what I was saying. It is Taurasi's character that prevents me from liking her at all, despite her skill set. Of course UCONN is the arch nemesis of the Lady Vols, but there are plenty of players that...

Sorry, for some reason this link is not working. But search Washington Post for this article. Great read and addresses many things that are commented on here about this...
I personally think it is tacky for the writer to state what Pat's pension was and is for Tyler. I understand it is public information, but still. Who didn't know she was extremely wealthy and couldn't guess that he would be the beneficiary and heir. Despite his mistakes (and I am not making...
