Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

[Texas]

How about this, can you get behind the continual efforts by many in Texas to secede from the nation that still goes on annually? Glass houses and all you know.

Meow! Who crapped in your cat box? I asked a question about a possible additional motive behind the statue, and wanted you to explain it in more detail. I for one love A’ja Wilson and Dawn Staley. I was pulling for them when we were at the Final Four in San Antonio. So, maybe retract the claws a bit.

But if you want to know my *ish, then I will oblige. I chose Texas as my moniker when joining the board only in relation to my current location. After 6 years here, I still do not call myself a Texan. They keep saying Texas is turning purple, but it doesn’t seem to be there yet. I keep hoping that the massive influx of people moving here can tip the scale to blueish purple while I’m still living here, but I don’t see it happening any time soon.

Nebraska fans realized their WBB team existed

It makes sense as their woman’s volleyball team is such a powerhouse and has long been among, if not the, best attended games. This despite the Badgers have won their last 9 matchups including the NCAA Championship match this past December!!! Which btw recorded a record number of attendees. Growth for any women’s sport I think is good for WBB.

It's not supposed to be funny... it's meant to tell them 1. they were rolling and still ended up losing, 2. keep it humble 3. the reason why this picture resonates is because we have posters continue to remind us EVERY year how untouchable they are and they aren't anyone can be beat at anytime.

PS while i didn't intend it to be funny someone laughed

If you say so. I don’t really see the posters you’re referring to that constantly brags about them. I wouldn’t laugh so much Boston looks to be on a tear right now. She said she’s trying to dominate every game.

 

[dapeak]

you had a bunch of wins last year and howd that work out ... Stanford has always been a team i liked so i was happy

I love me some Boston. She’s such a great player and has really been dominant this season. I wouldn’t want this picture being used here to be the reason she has a monster game against us lol my heart broke for her because of how much of a competitor she is.

And you continue to make this post about Boston... you clearly didn't understand the assignment.

did i say i didn't like her ? i just put this because last time SC was going all the way this was the result... Boston missed the shot but AGAIN i typed in SC women's basketball final four and this was one of the pix that came up so i used it.


But I hope everyone keeps this same energy next time some of these same young ladies are called out of their names instead of being worried about a picture and misrepresenting what my post as about... That is all

I always keep this energy. I didn’t say you didn’t like her, I made a comment on the use of the picture due to how things are screenshot/shared to make the fan base look a certain way lol but go off

here's the thing i didn't say YOU keep that energy i said anyone who is reading this because last time i checked this is a fan board where ... well people actually read

So if you felt that energy needed to be kept up for you then so be it LOL but if the message wasn't for you then i guess it didn't hit home.

Go off? Naw, never but i never let anybody else write my narrative and i clear up any confusion when/if there is any.

And if my picture of me showing the result of the last time SC fans talked all that ish is "making the fanbase look a certain way". Maybe we need to worry about the actual derogatory post where someone called the Ole Miss (which is predominantly black with a black coach) team thug b****** and more than one person liked it...

Right they did and instead of goin back in that thread I reported it because I’m not going to change opinions here.. to be honest if people want the real conversation that’s a part of what needs to change in order to get some of the recruits we’re missing but I’ll sit back because we’re not ready for that convo.

Also, because you were quoting my post, I responded. Period. If it wasn’t directed completely that’s fine, but now you know where it is

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

I remember watching this game and the missed layup and all the SC fans were crying on Twitter ….Karma is a b****

i'd like this tweet but people may take that as an attack on Aaliyah or Dawn's program (when i even got accused of being a SC sympathizer because i'm usually complementary of them)

Y'all know I hail from UConn territory up here in CT, but I must say it's nice to see you in the top 5 again. Really..I'm serious. It's been too long. I'm hoping you can take down SC. Not UConn hehehe.. but yes..I'd love for you to stop the banter of how untouchable they are. I am almost sure CT will not be up to that task in January.

Missouri already showed that SC is not untouchable.

 

[shiverz]

Attendance - 8400. An average UT home crowd.

Looking forward to the day when most women basketball games arenas look like that.

You don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

But it doesn't help that the powers that be in the AP send a different message.

Do you ALWAYS have to argue? Damn..did I say it was in a post here? No, I didn't.

So i know this post wasn't for me and i want to preface this by saying I am NOT I REPEAT NOT a UCONN fan. but here is one by @SCspur that stated the following... We proceeded to joke about how he said the same thing last year and i proceeded to remind him A&M had a great season.

I could see if they had just stayed with the odds on favorite but he/she said specifically no one would beat them aka "untouchable"

"Dawn won the SEC before she started landing real talent."

Staley literally brought in the best class South Carolina - Wilson and all those other five star signees - to play on that first squad that got to a Final Four. She never won the SEC before that year.

First three season 42 and 48 SEC 17 and 29 it takes time to build a program.
