Well, that didn't take long! Speaking of, Altavilla has an update on ESPN's efforts to get the coaches to agree to play. Seems Holly said yes to ESPN, and ESPN was working with UConn peeps to convince Geno to say yes. According to Altavilla, his story caused these very delicate negotiations to fail and now Tenn is all mad at Geno for shooting the idea down the way he did. Geno will not relent unless and until Tenn people account for defaming his program. Bravo Geno. I hope the teams meet in the NCAA tournament. touch.courant.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-82443253/

I just don't see this game happening unless ESPN's influence ($) is much greater than I even thought. Just too much water under the bridge. Geno acquiesce ? It's not in is vocabulary.

Hate is a rather strong word...I would say I have an intense dislike for them.
Good for Geno for sticking to his guns. I don't see Tennessee apologizing for the same reasons. If these teams meet in the future, it will have to be in the NCAA tournament.

I have to tell you that it is a great relief to not have to watch everything I post. Can you believe that I got a PM telling me that even though I was polite, I was lecturing and that I needed to stop.
Lecturing.
Imagine.
Present a point of view and you are lecturing.

I'm watching the Missouri- Tennessee game. Tennessee can't throw the ball in the ocean. If they can't beat the opposition on the boards, they're all but done.

Tenn down 25-21 to Mizzou at the half. Tenn has made 8 shots in the 1st half. Not one Lady Vol has made more than 1 basket.
Harrison out early with 2 fouls and her teammates couldn't pick her up.

There's a typical Volnation exchange going on right now with a few of the crazies in the "Geno speaks" thread concerning Maya's choosing UConn over ugly orange. One of the surprises is who started the thread.

UT has won 2 NC's in the 1980's, 4 NC's in the 1990's, 2 in the 2000's and none in the 2010's.. It looks like they topped in the 1990's.
UCONN on the other hand won 1 NC in the 1990's, 5 in the 2000's and 3 out of the 5 NC's in the 2010's. If the current rate holds true UCONN ends up with 6 NC's in this decade. it appears that UT's decline started with the emergence of UCONN, especially in the 2000's. If UCONN wins additional 3 NC's in this decade, they win 55% of the NC's in the last two decades. That is dominance, not only against UT but WBB.
To UT's dismay UCONN has the same coach in the 2010's as in the previous two decades and UT does not. Odds are against them winning another NC in the foreable future.

One of the surprises is who started the thread. One thing we can do on this board is bring over quotes from the other boards and discuss them.
Volcrazy89 has been a big UConn and Geno trasher for years and years. I had some good battles on varies boards with this moron.
Same old story - "If anyone wants to believe that it's just a coincidence that Kathryn Moore went from living in the projects in Georgia to a private condo in a gated community in Connecticut and nothing happened, then honestly they're not even worthy of the time I take to respond to them."
hahahahaha. thankfully there are some sane Vol fans I that thread. It's fun watching them go at it.

I don't hate or even dislike any Tenn players. I disliked Glory Johnson's cheap shot antics but no one else. What I do find disgusting is a segment of their fans, most of whom are well known to anyone who has been around the boards over the last 10 years. What really pisses me off are those surrogates to the LV program that promote all the slimy innuendos about UConn. First on my list is Maria Cornelius. I've been told by some friends who actually met her that she is a very nice person. I, however judge her by the way she actively promoted and still promotes any rumor that paints UConn as cheats. I was a subscriber on the Summitt when a post appeared referring to Geno as a greasy XXXX (rhymes with dayglow). The post remained up for several days even after I reported it. Maria spread lots of dirt that she claimed to have learned for "unimpeachable sources" she had in Georgia. It didn't stop with UConn. She also had "unidentified sources" who told her that UNC used underhanded methods to "steal" DD from Tenn. Sound familiar? This woman has close connections with the LV program, and is little more than an extension of their PR office and yet she isn't considered a booster and can interview recruiting targets. If Tenn wants to play UConn they need to call her and the rest of the Pat Summitt cult that surrounds the program and tell them to shut up. Enough venting for now.

Maria is a "god" to many on the Summitt. Many of the Tennessee fans I have interacted with have been reasonable people who love their program the same way I love my Huskies but don't believe the outright lies that are spread on The Summitt. Others will go to their graves believing the lies. It is the handful of vile, vindictive and just plain bitter fans that stick out as is always the case. Every program has their share of these.
There have been few players I have disliked, but generally their players don't bother me. It is the attitude of the extreme fans and the institutional arrogance and actions that lad to the complaint made against Geno. I used to dislike Kara Lawson, but her analysis and studio presence is among the absolute best, and I have grown to have a great deal of respect for her.
