It wasn't a criminal case. It was a Title 9 investigation and dismissed on a technicality. Could have done it or not done it.

No and it doesn't mean he did do it. If the law thought it should be a criminal case they would have made one out of it.

There are two "types" of fans in this world. Those who only care about the destination. If it’s not a championship, it’s not enough. Nothing but a trophy will satisfy them. It's "fire the coach" season after season.

And then there are those who fall in love with the journey. The memories. The goosebumps. The high fives with strangers. The hugs with family. The late nights, the close games, the miracle finishes.

You’ll forever remember where you were when that field goal went in against Alabama.
When Tennessee basketball finally raised that SEC tournament trophy after 40 years.
When the baseball team dogpiled in Hoover for the first time in decades.

Those moments matter.
They live in your bones.
They bond generations.
They are the reason we care so much in the first place.

I'm going to continue to cherish the ride. Because long after the trophies fade and the stats are forgotten, it's the moments—the roar, the rush, the people beside you—that stay with your heart forever. It's that memory of taking my Dad to his first ever UT football game. It's the memory of sitting with my Mom and brothers for TN's SEC baseball title in Hoover. It's the memory of sitting in a monsoon against LSU with another brother with a Dooley led team that couldn't win the lottery even if they found a winning scratch off on the ground. I am so grateful each and every day that I was born a Vol, and I will die a Vol. I don't need a trophy in a case somewhere in Knoxville to give meaning to my fandom. It makes the moments even more special when they do happen.

I was just thinking about this today. For me it’s about the journey.

There's something called the law....If it was something to it you can rest assured the law of the land would get involved.

There is something called "people" that make those decisions and determine whether to apply the law. The law just doesn't happen.

It is definitely the journey for me! That is where the moments and memories are made.

I find that I am more deflated, not for myself, but for the team that has worked so hard and deserved the destination that they were not able to quite reach.

If he was guilty then the law would have come into effect. Just because someone says something about you or me then it's true and we are guilty? Not the way it works.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense to have girls trying to bunt every inning taking the bat out of their hands while the rest of the country is trying to hit bombs. HR are the name of the game now and if you don’t gear your philosophy towards that then you won’t win a national championship.

Wow, must have lost the message from going in to FLA.,

I like the journey too but I also would like to journey to a championship one day.

Yea I think there is a third type(me and others).

Those that enjoyed the journey but also realize the path they are on is not going to take them where they want to be even if the journey has been the most beautiful thing they have ever seen.

I have seen beautiful parts of the world but I also know there are places I want to go that are more beautiful than where I have already been.

You can love this team and coaching staff but also believe the current leadership will never get them to a championship.

You are preaching to the choir, my man.

But the “law” doesn’t come into effect. People make those decisions.

Just because a school’s compliance office dismissed it on a technicality doesn’t mean anything either. Employment is not a right; people can be terminated without being “guilty.”

I saw that. Do you think she heads over to duke to be with her mom?

That’s where I would think. She committed to Florida back in 2018 I believe, long time to be committed to play one year. Big fan of Marissa Young and what she’s done in a short amount of time. Or Uconn if she doesn’t want to play for mom or needs familiar face without the pressure.
