Vol posters on The Summitt are really a piece of work, delusional, but still a piece of work!

to be fair I wouldn't generalize like that. there are some really nice folks over there. However their humanity can be overshadowed by the others. It is the memory of behavior of the others that one takes away, not the niceness. Sadly

Yeah, I almost laughed out loud at that comment when I read it. I couldn't believe that they were serious. Who the heck are they kidding? I know one moderator - or assistant moderator - or whatever title she has over there who is the worst - THE WORST for fanning the flames. Maybe they beat down the posters from other teams (maybe?), but they let their kids run absolutely wild over there without any restrictions at all. I think perhaps the only thing that gets deleted is anything having to do with recruitment - cause they do things the "right way"

Haven't been to that site in years and years. I know that not all who post on the checkerboard square are irrational, vitriol spewing minions of the LadyVols(sic). But enough of them are that I have no desire to surround myself in their delusional aggrandizement of their team and themselves as fans.

The Summitt is filled with delusional trolls. They basically have a 3 page thread trolling Louisville's womens basketball program because they fear they are going to lose Mercedes Russell to us...

They also hate Sherri Coale because she lured Sade Wiley-Gatewood to transfer from TN to OU. Oh wait; except she didnt.
And I'm pretty sure they started the anti-Brenda Frese campaign (why I chuckle when all the BYers fall in line and criticize her as well).

Really? Then I must have missed the posts from those "really nice folks" objecting to the non-stop lying, vicious and hateful posts on that board against Geno, Maya, Maya's mom, etc. over the last 6 or 7 years.

at least they didn't participate in those discussions. Look I am not going to go crazy defending my opinion. I know there are nice folks over there, and I know that there are a folks not so nice (understatement). There are some folks over here whose posts I find offensive, but I keep it to myself.

I still don't know who these nice folks are, but I am curious who you think they are. Feel free to PM me some names.

Why chuckle? Do you know for sure that Frese isn't sketchy? Based on Geno's relationship with Coale, I tend to give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus, she is hot. And, she has never done anything to make me suspect she is anything but honest. The bottom line is that we have very little hard data on what any of these coaches do to lure players. When it comes to stuff like this I just use common sense and the eyeball test. And, frankly, I have often wondered why and how Maryland gets as many great recruits as they get. It is especially suspicious when a team got blue chip recruits or is getting those recruits before the program and coach have anything to sell to recruits that would logically want them to turn down UConn or Tenn or Stanford, etc. to go to their school. In some cases it works for them and they eventually achieve the success that should have been a prerequisite to landing such recruits. The cart came before the horse and now they have the horse to put in front of the cart, so to speak. Maryland, under Frese, does/did not pass my eyeball test. And, honestly, what is happening at UNC right now is really suspect too. UNC has had some success so seeing them land a top recruit is not suspicious. Landing the number they are landing and creating a scholarship logjam is suspicious. On the women's side, not many coaches have failed my personal eyeball test. Frese is one of them and Mulkey is the other. Actually, the entire Baylor athletic department makes me cringe.

On the men's side, the list is long and notorious. Calipari (of course), Scott Drew, Billy Donovan (cart came first), Bill Self, every coach at Ohio State for as long as I have been following college basketball, Steve Lavin and so on.

You gotta love the National Enquirer-like tactics of The Summitt by posting a "juicy" headline about a possible new recruit shortly after they flipped the switch to become a fill-fledged pay site. I can just imagine all those orange-clad hillbillies searching frantically thru their drawers for change so they can become a paid member....SUCKERS!

I had deleted that site from my drop down, but I took a peek and noticed the thread you are talking about. Posted by one of the long time idiots and man haters one that site, only a fool would pay to read what she says.

When we had a premium board on the boneyard, the members would post the occasional "juicy" subject line in order to try to get people to join. It never worked.

The next big recruiting news that breaks will be who DOESN'T go to Tennessee.

And who do you think that will be? I have to be honest - i was shocked they landed Tucker. I really didn't think they were going to land any top 10 kids from 2013 and thought that would bleed over to 2014 as well. On their must have list are Russell, Greenwell, Scaife, and i'm not sure if they still think Davis will go there. They lost out on Reimer, Mavunga, and Deshields. But they got Tucker.

I have no idea. It was more a statement on the state of their recruiting than anything specific. I don't pretend to know anything about who is going where.
 
Could I ask that people please refrain from name-calling? I do understand where you're coming from (I was given the name NaziNan, among other assorted unsavory monikers) but I would like the Boneyard to avoid becoming that which we least like. I'm not trying to curb folks' fun, just their stooping to Others' level to do so.

Carry on.

Ah...... I wish they had waited til July 1 to go premium.... According to Hoopzgurlz.... Kaela Davis visited Durham yesterday on an unofficial visit. I would have loved to read all of the trashing of Duke by the Vol fans. :rolleyes: Oh well

Just went over to the Summitt to read what they were posting and they want me to pay . LOL your kidding. Its funny how they always show their true colors over there. Always hiding something. I guess we will have alot or non paying orange fans on our board. That place is a mess. So just to Sum IT up. Theyre nuts over there and its all doggys fault for getting the FBI involved LOL Go Doggy make beleive theyre a fire hydrant and do your thing LOL

Yes, they are a tad delusional over there on The Summit. They think young women are going to flock to the Orange because of big crowds (yes, they do have a good following) and superior coaching staff (wrong-o). Remember what the current coach Holly accomplished last year with her super senior class from 2008? Nothing. Oh, perhaps 9 losses and no FF was an acceptable season, I dunno. I mean, would you rather play for Tara, Muffet, JPM, Jeff, Matt, Geno, or Holly Warlick?

I saw a lot of excuses on that board as to why that cherished senior class never made a Final Four. I am not going to say bad things about the Orange, but the training wheels are going to be on for a little while longer. What will break that trend? It is going to take, IMHO, a break-through player with leadership greatness who can take over a game by herself. It will take that for the coaching staff to see how it is done correctly. That greatness is not coming from Massengale. Often you get the greatness in a PG..... but I don't see it in her. This year MJeff is going to show the country how PG is supposed to be played.
 
As someone whose family was decimated by the Holocaust, I find it incredibly offensive whenever anyone uses the term "Nazi" in the United States in any context. Moderating a message board in a way you don't like does not equate to the kinds of basic freedoms six million Jews and five million non-Jews were denied under the Third Reich. Some hyperbole is just disrespectful.

Determining whether or not something is disrespectful would require actual thought, Alex. You might be asking too much.
 
Do I need to post another tin foil hat picture?

This is one of those posts that I wish I could "like" more than once. Thank you for saying it, Alex.
 
Just curious can someone fill me in on the FBI thing with dd? PM if it is more appropriate. Thanks.
