Here's the thing about Lady Vols fans who are blessed to be able to attend the games in person: The crowd is typically above-average for being knowledgable of the game, and they reward the players with loud applause for particularly good stretches of play -- especially on the defensive end.
Sure, we enjoy a great play on offense, too, but I have always believed that Lady Vols fans help the players the most when they need defensive stops. Because of the way the fans appreciate stout defense, I have always believed they have helped players overcome fatigue and push through to stops. A great defensive stop can absolutely electrify that arena! This is what Kellie knows and is why she is going the extra lengths to get fans in the seats today.
But more than anything, Lady Vols fans are happiest to go to the trouble of attending the games when they perceive the team has a legitimate shot at winning every game they play and KNOWS IT themselves. Every fanship likes a winner, and this Lady Vol team is definitely headed in the right direction to attract some of the old fans who had slacked off from attending. I'm excited for the program!
