I could not resist sending Mr. Smith the following email with regard to the name he applies the UConn Huskies (the email was entitled "For the Record):
In your recent retraction of your column about Geno Auriemma and his comments with regard to Pat Summitt, you refer to the UConn women's basketball team as the "Lady Huskies." Well, the University of Tennessee women's team may well be the "Lady Vols," something I consider sexist as the men's team is not known as the "Gentlemen Vols" or something like that, but please note that the UConn women's basketball team is known as the Huskies, just like the men's team. The term "Lady" is not part of their team title.
