It's the deserve part where I have the disconnect. That is the attitude of someone, who has practically zero invested in their success, who needs someone to provide a competitive outlet on their behalf. I'm sure your Phd studies taught you about that.
Fans, like you and me, have enjoyed many years of the lady vols dominating their sport. Life goes in cycles and right now, the team is in a down cycle from where they were a few years ago. Just because we are fans does not give us any special entitlement other than to continue to be a fan or not. That is our choice. If we had the ability to do more, it would be a different situation.
Some call it settling but that implies that we have some control over the team which we do not. We can stop donations, stop going to games, and write scathingly hard posts but, in the end, I fail to see what that accomplishes other than to make us and those around us just as frustrated. It only makes fans of other teams feel good. That is why they come here to relish in the anguish but don't be fooled, they love seeing lady vol fans punish the team. Some stir the pot for their own entertainment when there is a lull in the frustration.
I'm confident the team will get things turned around once they can get some more players. No matter whether one believes it is coaching, effort or something else, the team has to figure that part of it out.
