Lady Vols were in........
There is no joy in Volville, but the 3 'fire Kellie' threads have been shortened to 2 as the Mods merged the mania. Here's the greatest hits from the 2 threads with citations:
Kellie Harper Discussion Thread:
Markus post# 2356: point blank------we need a change. she has proven that she cannot create chemistry between the players for years....pure selfishness on the players part, they can't even set up a play nor pass or drible on their own feet and lose it.......its coming, but its really the only sport that truly sucks at UT now.
Firedog28 Post# 2333: Players win games,for the most part coaching is overated ! I love Kelly but she is still short on difference makers on the roster.Jackson was a nice addition but she got schooled by LSU last night. Horston is a nice player but slow afoot. Until Kelly starts getting the top players it ain't gonna happen!
SGMVols post # 2304: I’m not willing to sit through 4 more years of mediocrity waiting for Chastain. If we lose her over a coaching change, so be it. I’ll take the risk that a new coach will be able to keep her committed, or if not, will win more without her than Kellie would’ve won with her anyway.
SpecialEd post# 2273: I won't hold my breath waiting for Kelly to inspire a Heupel-like change in fortunes for our Vol gals, but I'm hoping Danny White is paying close attention to the fact that this team is merely treading water and unlikely to make a splash under the current leadership anytime in the foreseeable future. I have no doubt he'll do the right thing before it's too late.
Amb3096 post# 2235: Kellie is articulate, says the right things, and looks the part on the sideline...but at her core regarding the ability to lead this team, yeah...she's basically Holly 2.0. There's a reason that no big time programs came knocking on her door after her NCState tenure until Tennessee called.
Majors post# 2237: Holly's resume at this point towers over Harpers. Those first five years of Holly gets overlooked with downfall of the final 3 years. I'm not a Holly fan, but people forget she had some pretty good years before the wheels fell off.
And1 post # 2217: Harper should have been coaching this year like the program's life depended on it...because in many ways, it does....and she hasn't. Instead we get all these head-scratching coaching decisions and lack of recruiting.
VolmanNC post # 2184: Those who are still 100% behind Harper need to watch what they are stepping in!
SGMVols post # 2198: This was a preseason top 5 team. This was supposed to be the big breakout year. The return to Final Four contention. And it’s not going to be. It’s never going to be with this coaching staff.
Game Thread Tenn vs LSU:
Alexvol post # 932: The reason they shot better was their screening action ....the Gal who scored 31 had screens on every shot that she made....we do not know how to fight thru screens on defense or defense screens and conversely on offense we do not screen for our best shooters hence one-on -one basketball is played on the offensive end.
glv98 post# 910: Cora tweeted a criticism of not calling a t.o. during the game as well. Apparently she's on board the magical time out train. Wonder why she didn't ask Kellie post game? I hope she will, been wondering about the no t.o. trend all year. Rick Barnes doesn't use them often either.
Alexvol post # 776: One on one basketball beat themselves tonite.
Prophet1 post # 792: I'm starting to believe this coach doesn't have a clue.
DarthPhoenix post # 798: The only hope is a Cinderella run in the sec tournament or NCAA Coach Jumper post # 677: tournament. Usually u have one Cinderella so maybe it’s us this year.
ARPFan4Life post # 770: Two National tv games against top 5 team and we lose both. Get outcoached in both. No wins against any ranked teams this year. Let's hope the tough schedule pays off in the tournament.
Ttharpe post # 734: This was such a winnable game. SUCH a winnable game. Poor coaching continues to plague this program. I hate it.
Orange_Mamba post # 737: Y’all think this is bad just wait until next year. Your thinking to yourself it can’t get no worse than this, but oh it can and will.
Coach Jumper post # 677: 11-0 run, no timeout,,,never could have seen that coming
Even Coach Jumper wants the madness to stop......
The Lady Vols host Ole Miss tomorrow / Thursday and Ole Miss is playing well lately. Could be 3 straight losses for the Lady Vols? God, I hope so.
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in
[Verse 1]
I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on UCONN and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in
[Verse 2]
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
[Verse 3]
Someone painted April Fool in big black letters on the TOP 25 Poll
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta LSU and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah
It's hard to imagine Kenny Rogers going from the New Christy Minstrels to the First Edition.......
My love for Tennessee has no bounds.....
.....just kidding, but I wrote a Limerick for their fans:
Limerick For Lost Lady Vols
There once was a Lady Vol Team
Long before Challie Creme
Then gino appeared
Connies won as we feared
Now we are merely a meme
Haiku might come soon.....
