For many of us who grew up in the Northeast, it may be hard to understand just how big NASCAR is in other parts of the country. For me, Sunday in the Fall means pro football. In other parts of the country Sunday in the Fall is all about watching NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup.

This program of southern reindoctrination will have her unreedemable by fall.

Cool beans I will be watching. The aura of UConn never fades even for fair writers. Without checking I am sure anything written down south would have titled the article with The New Head Coach of Vanderbilt Woman's Basketball to drop the green flag.

OK I peeked at The Vandy take and not a word about her previous bio.

Shea probably spent many Friday nights at the Wake County Motor Speedway from the time she was a little girl.

That's why I said reindoctrination. She's been among us northerners for a long time. Coming out of HS she was felt to be a lock for UNC. They got quite a shock.
