Is there a team Tennessee could play that would make you root for Tennessee?

[Jmsdawg]

If I had to absolutely choose, it would have to be Notre Dame and South Carolina. Don’t get me wrong, I like SC and Dawn Staley but I do want to see them go down

My thought also. Dawn is class number 1 in my book but SC beating MSST for the National Championship still stings.

I can get over the loss in the NC to SC more than ND. ND will always hurt because we had the game and couldn't close it out.

I will always remember the non foul call committed against Morgan William. That foul was so obvious it should have been impossible to miss, but it was not called!

I like the coach; she seems to be doing a pretty good job and I'm not so fond of Stanford....so, Stanford,

It their coach wears . . . Orange. Ugh

 

[JellyBean]

Nope. Never. Ever.

I hated Tennessee, with ESPN and Maria and the FBI and accusations and such -- but there's a new coach and team and it's been so long, it's time to move on.

If you read Maria’s articles, you’ll see she still takes cheap shots and digs at UConn.

She's downright dishonest and despicable.

The fact that she gets to masquerade in her little niche as a "journalist" is an embarrassment to the profession.

I still can't stand her, and many of the Tenn fans. But the kids on the team now were not involved in any of that.

 

[RegisteredUconn]

Still no.

Its NEVER been about the kids. It's about the dynamics of 2007 and the actions of Pat Summitt, and how the Administration (school), the AD, the local media, and the fans all backed her play. That was 14 years ago. Make no mistake about it, Tennessee fans to this day still hate Geno, UConn, his players and us, (the fan base).................period!!!

If you want to know just how much they hate us, take a stroll (troll) over to their fan chat room, mention you're from UConn, and see what kind of reception you get.

I concede your point about the Tenn fans. I used to visit the Summitt and now VolNation, I get it. For me it's not as much about the fans. Back a few years ago I couldn't stand Pat and Muffett and Q along with many of the Tenn, ND and Cuse players. I'm just saying I don't have strong feelings about this current Tennessee team, I don't care if they win or lose. Who cares about their fans.

Muffet and Q aren’t on my Christmas card list either.

In her role as the Summitt moderator she was a booster by definition but still interviewed HS prospects but has the gall to report UConn fans for illegal recruiting. She has a problem with a fan giving a prospect a simple hand-made sign but thinks Tenn was completely ethical in it's recruiting of Strothers. I've been told by a big UConn fan who met her at a game that she was very nice to talk with. My own experience was a few messages back and forth. Not impressed.

 

[mdakota]

Notre Dame... At least Tennessee (other than Randell) never mugged any of the Uconn Players as much. (Mabrey, Akira).

 

[BrianUC]

I've learned that some people have referred to Tennessee as the Evil Empire. Is this why?

 

[Orangutan]

ND.

See I always thought you guys would root for the asteroid when ND plays Tennessee.

 

[Alydar]

The only way I would root for Tenn is if Bueckers was their coach.

I never cared about the final score. One had to lose and I was fine with that.

 

[HuskyNan]

Can you explain why about those two to a new(ish) UConn fan? I knew the Syracuse games were always heated in the Maya years and a player was ejected once, then the tripping in the line thing, and the not playing UConn Stewies senior year. Is that why or something else? And what happened with Brenda Frese?

Quentin Hillsman was recently booted from his job at Syracuse, a very sordid and despicable series of events.

Syracuse officials knew about Quentin Hillsman’s misconduct, The Athletic reports

A recent report from The Athletic said that several high-ranking Syracuse officials were aware of Quentin Hillsman’s misconduct and took no action.

Brenda Frese was given a recommendation by Geno for her job at Maryland. She thanked him by using negative recruiting against UConn. A recruit, Laura Harper, that had given Geno a verbal commitment reneged after talking to Frese and the rumors swirled. I won’t go into those
