Why series with Tenn needs to continue

Absolutely it needs to continue! It is good for the sport!

But Tennessee needs to hold up their end of the bargain and get better. As big as those ratings are. They would have been a lot better if Tennessee could have kept the game competitive.

I'd want some guarantees before returning to Knoxville (not the ridiculous "Rocky Top" which is the name of a mediocre bluegrass song that sounds like it came right out of "Deliverance").**  How about a guarantee of some level of civility in the arena (could the Lady Vols actually try being gracious hosts?); that their team actually play basketball as opposed to "foul ball" (yeah, physicality is certainly part of the game but we all know there is a difference when the Huskies play certain teams); a guarantee of trained, professional, and fair referees; and (and I'm dreaming here) the overbearing nature of the hideous orange in the arena be toned down.  

**There actually is a town in Tennessee northwest of Knoxville called "Rocky Top."  But of course it was named after the song in 2013.  It was originally Coal Creek and more recently Lake City until the powers-that-be in Lake City decided to take the offer of a "water park" from some local businessmen and rename it after the song as they requested. Wikipedia is my source for these details and notes that they haven't gotten the water park quite yet. There's also a mountaintop in Tennessee, near Gatlinburg, called Rocky Top, which is quite a distance southeast of Knoxville.

bwahahahahaha

still, Geno does want to promote the "Pat Summitt" fund. He was one of the first to donate (generously) when her illness became public knowledge. although TN will NEVER acknowledge it, he really is a gentleman.

Loved the game. Gonna help UCONN recruiting too.

It might be a coincidence, but it is true that UConn got a commitment the very next day.

The Tenn team itself, with the exception of a couple of aggressive fouls, was okay. Harper wasn't gracious, but she wasn't insulting.

I think we're mainly POed at the weirdly horrible reffing and the Tenn fans on their board!

Once you buy into supporting Pat's fund and memory via this rivalry, discontinuing for these reasons would seem small-minded to Geno.

No matter how ugly the rivalry was when Pat was alive, and it was much, much uglier than today, it wasn't Geno who ended it.

So I guess Geno is not a real UConn fan. 

I think it might good to pause it unless we can have some guarantees that our players are not going to get hurt. It's not worth it. I feel the same way about the Georgia coach. I just wouldn't play rugby with these morons.

Yeah,I think that's probably right.

I modified this later, Champ (see above).

Not that is matters what I think. But if the decision were up to me. I would probably sack Kellie in the summer. I was watching the men’s team today. And the men are a top 10 program. There is more parity in the men’s game. The men’s program does not have some of the advantages that the women’s program has. Advantages that exist because of Pat Summit. This shows me what can happen when you have the right coach!

This women’s team was a top 5 team before the season started. The coach tactically seems like she still hasn’t figured out her best five.
They fell apart last season too. The recruiting has been poor. It is hard to not look at LSU and be envious.

I would sack Kellie unless she does something great to change my mind in the last month.

The thing that absolutely perplexes me is recruiting. A program with the history, fame, and fan support like the Vols just shouldn't struggle recruiting, at least to the current degree.
I'm not a recruiting maven, at all - but, the only explanation that comes to my mind is, when potential recruits interact with the program - whether the coaching staff or current players - something just comes across as a red flag.
As far as I know, the facilities are first-rate - so, what's the problem?
