Yes. Griner made Kim.
What world do you live in? I don't think it's the real one, where Mulky had won 250+ games and a National Championship BEFORE Griner, and over 300 wins and 2 more titles SINCE. Griner is the best player she's ever had, but come on with that nonsense.
 
Yes. I saw it from the inside. The way the LVs operated under Pat was very different from how football, cheerleading, and other sports operated. VERY different.
I know she made lady vol basketball must see TV for me and gave me so much pride because without question you knew things were done the right way under her. I mean who else would sit Candace Parker for missing curfew against DePaul in front of her family.
 
You do know that Mulkey won a National Championship at Baylor..before Griner ever stepped on the basketball court there...

Yep. And that no one gave an ish about Kim before Griner put her in the spotlight constantly. Kim was the also ran to several other coaches the foremost among them being Pat and Geno. Not saying she wasn't a good coach - she was but she had plenty of company beside her. Griner elevated her.
 
That reminds me. I got hit with a 'Thats what she said' by my 5 year old yesterday

That Kentucky tweet has me thinking that voltwitter was destined to be. We're a fanbase composed of people from the Upper South so we're naturally outgoing and friendly but a large core is also Appalachian which makes us particularly loyal and fierce, especially when it comes to feuds. A Kentuckian really shouldn't be puzzled by this as they're the only other SEC school with a similar composition. The question should really be why isn't #BBN getting passed down to the younger generations. A fanbase that is as large and travels as well as their basketball fandom does should have a massive online presence and yet they pale in comparison to us.

I think some of it is that UT really made a big push for online when the internet was still very new and was one of the first wireless campuses in the nation. (The Kiffin riot only happened because twitter existed and we were on it live tweeting what was happening on campus, way back in 2009.). But that can't be all there is to it. For whatever reason, we are much more active online than a ton of other fanbases. Maybe that organization gave us our first taste and after taking Schiano's head there was never any turning back but honestly we've been online from the begining and a lot of probably has to do with UT, ORNL, Al Gore and other things - Tennessee was more online as a state.) However, the lack of big blue twitter kinda shows that the passionate part of their fanbase isn't 50 and younger.
 
Got noting against Tech, other than they are an opponent. Have actually partied there a few times along the way. Do respect that they are here to play. Even if they are gonna get their asses whipped. We know it. They know it. Everyone knows it.


Still...kudos to them, for showing up with 11nplayable people.
Dang it. Now I feel bad. That'll pass though. I actually almost went there. Ended up at Tennessee and my best friend did ROTC his freshman year. Talked me into it and I had a great time playing Army for 21 years. I guess it worked out.
 
Those NFL headsets aren't just putting sound on a low frequency band like a walkie talkie or a ham radio. They are digital, and are encrypted, no different than the internet traffic from your phone is encrypted.

Cheating aside. It would be pretty sweet if you could go to games and tune into that frequency. I would definitely go to more Titans games lol.
Yup. The lines are also controlled and monitored by an NFL employee too. They assign the frequencies to the team, or the team tells them the frequency they want to use, can’t remember which. The employees then only job is to control the lines and shut them off at certain points of the play clock and then also monitor them. It’s a pretty involved set up overall.
 
Matt Campbell screwed himself over....he was loyal to Iowa State and is going to end up being a garbage pile coach when those ungrateful dumbasses fire him for not being able to keep working miracles at Big 12 Vandy.
Maybe he just loves it there. He's still made his money so I think he'll be okay
