Interesting article from Climer. I don't believe it though. There is no way the Volnation would let an outsider come in and get rid of Lady Vols. That would be beyond ludicrous-pure stupidity.

Lady Vols name change makes no sense, but that's UT

If you or anyone else think that this move was Dave Hart's alone and it was unchecked by the BOT, Dipietro, or anyone else, then you have some serious issues. That includes Climer

If Summitt's condition was different, I suspect she would tell Cheek and Hart what they could do with their rebranding scheme.. She'd have the same authority over university decisions as she does now.

That's some A+ writing from Climer

I sure am glad the upcoming movie isn't entitled, "Lady Ghostbusters". The "Women's Ghostbusters Team" sounds much better. ;)

Years ago, when Tennessee started calling the women's teams, "Lady Vols", I really wasn't that crazy about it. That would have been during the time Holly Warlick played.

However, it slowly grew on me. Especially during the time of the three meeks, and when winning championships was anticipated and expected. It was at that time that the term "Lady" was being used by more and more teams, or at least broadcasters were calling teams that out of habit.

It was a Saturday afternoon that the Lady Vols were playing Vanderbilt that cemented the term for me. Vanderbilts coach wanted it known far and wide his team was not the "Lady Commodores". but just "Commodores". Perhaps the way he worded it did it, or more than likely, it was because he was the Vanderbilt coach. From that moment on, I hoped Tennessee maintained the term, "Lady Vols" forever.

Now that they are phasing it out, it just seems like we are keeping up with Vanderbilt. And that is sentiment is reason enough for me to want it restored ASAP. I don't care if it was a Nike recommendation, or the idea of Hart, Cheek, or whomever. All our Ladies deserve to be called Ladies.
