No. Barnes is the best coach of the modern era the Vols have ever had. He's their pinnacle even though we want for more. That's not true for the women's side. The floor for our women should be an elite 8 every 2 and a final 4 once a class.

Exactly. The women’s program is the best women’s program of all time. The men’s have never even made a final four. Huge difference there.

Our men have a much tougher job. We're fighting to enter an already crowded field and have a blue blood as our main rival. We've come far and overall - our men's bball program is damn good all time. It's just never been able to do well in the tourney.

Our women have a different job. It's still tough but they're coming in with every advantage. Their job is to re-claim what's ours. They are the champ that's been down and out but the seat is still warm and waiting on them.

You do realize how difficult that would be for the best coaches?

In no universe should LSU have been a 2 seed. They had 2 losses. The only team with fewer losses was undefeated South Carolina.

LSU's only losses were South Carolina and Tennessee.

Also, Kim Mulkey could've been leading the Lady Vols to a title but the old hags who insist the coach has to be a Lady Vol probably would never have allowed it.

Wake Forest says the same.

Pretty sure we have no excuse. Recruit harder.

Danny needs to tell those morons to screw off. HE runs the AD. Not those retards. Get with the times and hire a championship coach

I looked it up because that chainsaw just seemed wild as hell. Well, I found an article that took down that myth by saying that Attenborough failed to mention that two of his birds were in captivity. I'm like, honey, I ain't looking for whether or not the bird is in nature but whether or not the bird can make that sound and you just told me that it can indeed make that sound. The article went on to say that one of the birds in that film was known for it's hammer sounds (apparently it learned a lot when the Panda exhibit was being built next door - lol).

Lyrebirds mimicking chainsaws: fact or lie?

Mimideas and corvids do this also. They are great mimics. Mockingbirds of course will.mock birds calls but they are also known for the same sounds that lyrebird was making. Blue Jays are known for mimicking hawks so they can scare small birds for their eggs. Crows and Ravens are well known for having sailor mouths

I do but we are the only spot other than UCONN where women's basketball can draw any coach. If we refrain from being cheap, they will come and with our resources even just a very good coach can win a championship if he/she can recruit. Summitt saw to that with the groundwork that she laid.

Back up the brinks truck to Dawn Staley (wont even cost you a decent OC's pay but even if it does it's worth it to have the LVs back bc they are so much more important than just a women's basketball team).

I knew this was going on to an extent bc I remember reading a study on pigeons and crows picking up city sounds. But that article was more about how birds were modulating/adapting to environmental change and noise pollution. Blue Jays are the devil whether they make sounds or not. And Mockingbirds (I learned this the hard way) sing their hearts out when they are looking for a mate. Never have I wanted a love match to be made more quickly than when I had a young one waking me up wayyyyyyyy too early one year.
