Lady Vols European Tour

I simply wondered out loud to anyone that read my comment, how they thought a UConn post similar to this one would be perceived on the Vol Nation board given their bitter/scathing thoughts and feelings about Geno and UConn. It was a knee-jerk reaction to reading that post.

I, for one, actually got your intent. I often read the Summit and sometimes even post there. I can say that from my perspective the anti Uconn feeling seems to have subsided over the years, much as the anti-Vol feelings have diminished on the Boneyard. I believe Holly played a major role in that. She was something that both fan bases could agree on.

The decline and problems that the Vol program has faced in the last few years seemed to have injected a degree of humility in the fan base. Humility is something that a lot of fan bases can use. Ultimately, except for at games. the rabidity of a fan base does not decide how good a team performs. Some fans don't seem to grasp that concept. People can be reasonable and respectful, especially away from games, and still, be very supportive of their teams. Objectivity does not hurt their teams.

I can't be sure, but I don't think such a post would have the negative reaction that some might expect. That is anymore than any other team might have. Most sites are will have fans object if their treads stray too far away from focus on their team. That is one aspect that separates the Boneyard from most other sites. We can thank the excellent moderators they have here. Especially HuskeyNan.

Zaay - 16 points
Rennia - 16 points
Key - 15 points, 11 rebounds
Kasi - 8 rebounds
Brown - 8 rebounds
Massengill - 8 rebounds, 6 assists

Based on the press release from Tennessee

I am anxious to see how Key will be utilized this year, very talented player. Apparently the only issue today was the turnovers. Horston did not play as far as I am aware.

Good the girls are learning to work together as a team....The one on one ball under Holly's watch, was not the path to success...Even the blind man saw that.
 
Highlights showed the layup drill that was Rennia Davis.
 
Vol fans, what are you thinking is the lineup next year?

Davis, Green, Horston, Burrell, Kushkituah?

I see Key getting a lot of time this year. Obviously the #1 concern that plagued Holly's teams are the turnovers/decision making.
 
I think this tour helps. It will give them a chance to play. Harper can use different combinations. To who plays the best together. I think this can be a fun season.

A little bit of this, and a little bit of that....Presto, a basketball team appears........again.

Most of us knew, Holly was no chef...Maybe a short order cook.
 
Harper will be an improvement but Carson Newman would beat these European teams.
 
Any concern that the LVs gave up 46 points in the second half to a mediocre team?
 
Harper said before the trip. We have just put in some basic stuff. We will get more detailed later on.

You mean the UConn and Tenn fan bases?

Uhhhhh N O.

Perhaps when Geno gets an apology for the baseless accusations against him.
Your move LVs.
 
Virginia Tech, who didnt even make the ncaa tourny last season, beat this same parisian select team 101-27 the day before. I think tennessee fans should prolly temper expectations because it could be another disappointing season..

It's a good sign that they went 3-0, but I don't know how much you can expect in a coach's first year at a different school. She is bringing in a new system with players she didn't recruit. You just never know how it will all turn out, but a lot of people will be tuned in to see what happens.

As far as long term, it's extremely rare for any program to return to elite status once the elite coach is gone. AL football did it, but they got a sitting head coach from a program where he had already won a NC.

I definitely think they could return to elite status if they get the right coach, but it remains to be seen if they did that with this most recent hire. I'm leaning towards they didn't. She has a fairly modest record at 3 different schools over a 15 year period, hasn't even won 60% of her games at any of the 3 schools. Her tenure at NC State is particularly troubling, especially when you consider what Wes Moore has done there since. Winners win at every level. I think it's extremely rare to find a coach with mediocre results over a period of time who suddenly starts winning at a higher clip. We'll see.

How dare you show logic and give a sense of reality to VolNation! They won’t listen and will continue this sense of delusion with their program. It’s not like there are 2/3 other great coaches in the SEC now who can recruit and coach better than Tennessee now, oh wait, there is...:rolleyes:
