Lady Vols Reputation Takes A Hit... Ouch!

Yeah, no UCONN fan would ever have "reactionary hate" toward TENN and Pat. :rolleyes:

Straw man argument. :rolleyes:

Having visited both this site and the old pre-paywall Summitt, I feel pretty comfortable in saying this site shows much more respect for Coach Summitt and her contribution to woman's basketball than the checkerboard ever did toward Geno and UConn.

You know I don't think it does. I have my issues with Coach Summitt's behavior but you really can't place any of that at her feet. Not even Tyler, really.

I agree...in any large group-family, alum, etc there are going to be some bad apples. Also, me and my siblings were raised the same but were very different people. I've seen many families with good kids and bad. Parents always seem to be blamed for bad children. Sometimes that's the case, other times it's not.

Surely this is a joke! This is coming from the same guy who tore off Andre Gurode's helmet and then twice stomped on his head causing a gash in his head which required numerous stitches to close. What load of bovine scatology! He also was given a $100 M contract for which he did nothing but walk off with the guaranteed money. Yeahhhhh! I'm not believing what this guy has to say. At 6'6" 350 lbs she is abusing him?! Too funny!

Many men are abused but few talk about it... and in many cases they couldn't easily defended themselves but don't hit women.

You are suggesting that he should have gone full Ray Rice on her?

I appreciate his restraint.

Everyone is assuming that he is telling the truth regarding Jackson. Of course her rep lends a bit of credence to the story. But understand there is also an ongoing child support battle going on between the two of them. From what I've read about him, he is an undisciplined brute. Just read his WIKI page and his recent twitter posts regarding this matter where he addresses his followers as . Not a nice person, and I would dispute the intelligent, sensitive opinion.
 
Everyone is not assuming he's telling the truth, although posters on the LadyVol site have over the years noted that Jackson is a "piece of the work". Well, two pieces of work from my seat. I just know that if it were Geno's basketball scions causing so much ruckus the long knives would be out everywhere. Besides, how would it look if a 350 lb man struck a 175 lbs (or so) woman, even in self defense? He'd crush her head in. But yeah, as one poster on the LV site said they should stay married to each other so they'd never inflict themselves on other people.

Can't speak for everyone, but I am for the time being. I'm sure her side will come out soon enough. Right now, the fact that he made multiple police reports in against her supports his position.

But really, I don't have a dog in this hunt.

This type of "news" annoys me.

Agreed FairView. This is sad news.... Very sad.... and not connected to LV basketball program..... or shouldn't be from a news headline point anyway..... it is about 2 individuals who have had their issues.... and I hope they can work things through eventually for the sake of the kid at least......
