Lady Vols Softball Coach Karen

You've done nothing. How much you give for NIL for softball?
That's about the stupidest response I've ever read. NIL money doesn't make you any more of a fan than if you don't give. God they are right our fan base is the most delusional out there.

some of you people could be sold a bag of tomatoes and get onions and be happy with it. i dont understand being happy with playing for championships and never winning one and being ok with it. a life filled with mediocrity i guess is enough for some of you fans.
Calling that mediocrity is assinine.
 
Dropping the “Karen” card. Really?
There is a lot of them on this board lately. God forbid someone have a different opinion about a team on here. Kind of getting sick and tired of everyone thinking their opinion is all that matters. We dont have to agree to be fans. But apparently your not a fan if you dont have the same blind sided views as everyone else.

Rarely do I agree with Wes, but this quote did seem appropriate in the moment:

“Never lower your standards. Never settle. But never for one second assume you're entitled to an annual appearance in Omaha or a single trip home with that beautiful trophy in tow. That way lies madness.”
- Wes Rucker

Look in the mirror.

And by all metrics this is a VERY highly successful college program. Wins A LOT consistently. Players and coaches are great representatives of the University…all class. Competes for conference and national titles.

Yes, there is one elusive piece. But I got news for you. It is elusive for almost everyone…Texas just now finally got theirs.

And if you are going to fire coaches for not winning a Natty, you are going to have a revolving door and likely have a losing program. Fools gold.

My grandfather told me once that if you look around and are the only person arguing for something, you’re either the bravest person in the room or you’re just an a$$hole.

You badmouthing players and coaches doesn't make you a fan. If you want them to get the best players, anti-up on NIL or just shut up already.

And yet falls flat in the world series. just keep rooting for your coach that comes up short. and if she ever gets over the hump i will acknowledge im wrong. But fact is in a regular job if you cant get the job done then they find someone who can. they dont give you 20 years of just coming up short.

You dont know what i donate so dont even talk about something you know nothing about.
IMHO you would put an amount in EVERY post you make to show how much "more" of a fan you are...And I remember the Jim Beitia days in Tyson Park so I CAN pull the "Fan Card" without hesitation or mention of donations..LV softball has received a LOT of my money over the years through tickets, concessions, merchandise and memorabilia purchases...Lady Vol Softball did not start with Monica Abbott but it is a given that it has flourished under Coach(es) Weekly for 22 years..I can assure you ANY team in NCAA Softball would be THRILLED to have her as a HC and even happier to have experienced the success she's had at UT...But I hope she stays here until SHE decides otherwise... But JMHFO...After all, I AM just a fan.l....

So Rick Barnes should also be fired or replaced?

The off-season is in full gear with stats and disharmony amongst the natives. Which means the LV season ended without a NC. Fans believing they are higher on the totem poll ranking because they have given a monetary amount that somehow they deem worthy of superiority w/o knowing who’s on the other end. Others demanding more while others believe they are close. Believing if you don’t subscribe to the Pollyanna approach that somehow makes you a lesser fan who continually takes the end result as acceptable. We are all fans here, you don’t have to like how somebody chooses to be fan it’s not anyone else’s concern.

For the record, because I’m a fan this team overachieved my expectations based on the roster and lack of offense. Happy off-season fans!

I don't think anyone said that you couldn't have or express an opinion. I think most on here just were letting you know that they didn't like your opinion. Surely you wouldn't think that you could go on a message board and state such an opinion and expect no one to respond.
