I stumbled over into Volnation and learned more about UConn WBB than anyone here or TON could possibly know. I mean who knew Geno looked 20 years tired and will leave when PB leaves. Who know that Strong made a bad decision and UConn will never win a Natty because Geno left Parker off the USA team? Who knew next years starting lineup? Vols that who. They don’t know who will coach their team but they surely can talk a bunch about UConn. They are hilariously funny and sad at the same time.

I did the same. I think I lost at least 5 IQ points doing that.
But tell you what. I also checked Duke's fan board and of course ND's. Neither is any smarter than those on Volnation. But at least Duke and ND charge way more tuition.

I visit there daily. I know I have issues, but I get a kick out of delusional posters that say that Dawn Staley or any number of other big name coaches are considering taking the UTenn job. Or those that think that UTenn is still a force in WCBB.

just to laugh:
whenever I visit the vols board (which isn't often) I read the following:
Drivel, drivel, drivel, Geno sucks, Drivel, drivel, drivel, gino's an ass, drivel, drivel, drivel, Saint Pat, drivel drivel.

But who will get Kelly's job? I have been deliberately not following bb news for obvious reasons.

Actually, I find the other fan boards a lot like ours—90% reasonable posters/fans, 10% my-team-no-matter-what.
I’m always surprised when I read the comments here about them and then go to the other boards and see compliments for our players or complaints about the refs.
Maybe we’re just letting off steam.

I'm not correcting you for pedantic reasons (wouldn't want to get into a spelling match with you!!), but to make the point that, yes, Kelly (Graves) needs to be replaced. Kellie Harper was already fired. Tennessee had a transcendently great season compared to Oregon, and yet only one (the woman) was fired. Graves can't recruit or keep players and, IIRC, was just behind Kim in the poll of Final Four players as the coach they'd least like to play for. Something's going on there and we don't know what it is, do we Mr. Jones....

I’m always surprised when I read the comments here about them and then go to the other boards and see compliments for our players or complaints about the refs. Maybe we’re just letting off steam. I actually find the Tenn board surprisingly reasonable, as you say 90% of the time. I think, however, that the 10% there are a lot crazier than our own 10%, although, honestly, it might be the cultural differences between a northern and southern fan base and how I read that difference. The board that I find far more broadly delusional and rabid regarding UConn is Notre Dame's. There are some bitter, bitter people there. Maybe it's because Notre Dame has played more closely (and beaten!) UConn more recently than has Tenn. Tenn's fans are just wanting their team to be competitive with the best, while ND fans expect their team to be among the best.

Yeah, I knew when I typed it that I spelled it wrong, but didn't have time to correct. Flight to UK coming up. See you on the other side of the pond. I love our board!

A huge thank you to all our boys who never came home from Normandy.Be safe and happy, Bulkey. I'm giving 2 talks on the American Cemetery in Normandy. The bravery, the sacrifice was overwhelming. Standing on Omaha Beach and looking up at German gun placement is a life changing experience.
