Something like a pinned thread outlining general expectations for newcomers may be helpful. Most of the other VolNation forums have them.Honestly, that kind of sarcastic joke is how damaging rumors can get started!!! One or two people aren't familiar with the "blue font" rule and the next thing you know there are people out there spewing nonsense as fact.
PLEASE, for the love of God, PLEASE try to remember how quickly we can inadvertently start trouble for our new young coach and her program by making even joking statements.
I respectfully disagree with your statement that this team still has little talent. I thought, after watching the game last night, that we have some very good talent on the roster-Cooper, Whitehorn, Spearman, Spear, Latham-they all are talented. Yes, some of the others aren't as talented as them, but even the holdovers from last year's team seemed quicker and better at defense. I just don't see where you thought they had little talent. These girls will learn to play together more and more as the season goes along, and at the pace they are playing I feel they will get even better. No, we didn't feed inside like we have in the past, but the style of play doesn't really lend itself to that. I think post play will be something we'll see as the season progresses, but maybe that's why you think there is little talent. Otherwise, I felt there was a lot of talent on that floor last night.things will probably be a little different when it isnt carson newman on the other side. this team still has little talent, SEC talent, anyway. if she can start building that back up, she may have success, but this program is on the same path the football team was on for a decade. it hasnt hit rock bottom yet, but it is close, when considering what Tennessee should be in the womens basketball world. i still say the time she will need to fix it, if she is the coach to do it, will not be afforded her. it may be that what she accomplishes restocking the cupboard may be to the benefit of the coach who follows her. but we will see
Yeah, can’t assume tone.Honestly, that kind of sarcastic joke is how damaging rumors can get started!!! One or two people aren't familiar with the "blue font" rule and the next thing you know there are people out there spewing nonsense as fact.

I get that part. But it’s not enough in my book to compare her to him. Why not compare her to Pat back in the day when she took a pretty rotten LV team and quickly built them into the dynasty they were and will be again?Bruce in his 1st year took a UT team ranked near the bottom of the SEC and fashioned them into a 2 seed in the NCAAT.
I don't mind the comparison.
Except that I’d be willing to bet most people never read those “forum guidelines” threads.Something like a pinned thread outlining general expectations for newcomers may be helpful. Most of the other VolNation forums have them.
as they said,,,blue font is used to be sarcasticHyams reporting that the NCAA is investigating Caldwell for recruiting violations
I know that this is being addressed by the staff,,,nuff saidThe still need to recruit better High School kids.. and have better communication with the top dogs. Hopefully she was on the phone with the top players in every class last night and not the assistants.
Around here, those morons are called "Negavols" I keep a running tabI love this comment! For some of these “morons”, you damned if you do, damned if you don’t! It’s obvious that this team is responding to their coach way different and in a positive upside way than years prior! Even Stevie Wonder can see that!! Let’s talk about only “9 turnovers” with a new group, playing a new system, and a new pace! I’m excited for what’s to come even through the good games and bad games, this team will play hard!
surely you can't be seriousIs it true that Kim Caldwell being investigated by NCAA for recruiting violations

Hope so. We were playing Carson Newman though.I respectfully disagree with your statement that this team still has little talent. I thought, after watching the game last night, that we have some very good talent on the roster-Cooper, Whitehorn, Spearman, Spear, Latham-they all are talented.
