Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3154313, member: 7511"] I’m trying to put myself in the shoes of LV fans. It’s not much fun. They were giddy back in November when Horston announced she was heading to Knoxville over Storrs, and UConn also missed on Jones & Boston. They looked at their young team brimming with confidence for the season ahead as well as the future when they would travel up to Storrs after a 13 year absence to avenge all the slights suffered at the hands of the Prince of Darkness, a.k.a. Geno Auriemma. So what’s transpired in the interim. TN stumbled through a 19-12 season, losing in the 1st round of the Big Dance. HW was fired, and while that was cause for optimism among many LV fans, they didn’t hire a big name coach that many wanted. They hired a mid-major coach with a resume that does little to convince many that she can bring TN back to the promised land. Subsequently, the LV’s lose two of their best returning players, with one going to their hated rival. Many LV fans are confused, angry, depressed, delusional and filled with uncertainty. Some are lashing out at Evina who they feel betrayed them. There is a good deal of infighting over on VolNation. While I find some of it amusing, at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters to me is that UConn WBB continues to maintain a level of excellence that we can all be proud of. [/QUOTE]
