The Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

I must admit, from time to time, we like to pick on the LV and football forum and a few of us maybe, sorta, have been known to try to entice a meltdown, for our own amusement...
I’m sorry, but they are often such an easy target!😎
I’ll say it again...
Was I excited about the Caldwell hire? No.
But, I don’t know enough about her to form an opinion either way.
I’ll reserve judgement until I see a product on the floor over the next season or two.
I liked the photo of her with Heupel and Barnes. You can tell they are really going all out to make her feel a part of Vol Nation. Too bad Vitello had a game to get ready for. But she'll throw out the first pitch tonight, so she'll meet him then. I went over there a bit because but it's a lil too crazy for me. Or not my kind of crazy. Anyway, the only bad thing about everyone ruining riot over there for weeks is that I thought this forum would pass them by the time we got into post season. Maybe not now. They really are resistant to any new people, which is weird. It's like they don't want to expand their fan base. Prolly just pissed them off how much every one was excited for Kim.

I’m about 75% sure I saw CKC, being shown around the downtown area on Wednesday. If it was her, she had a huge Cruz farms ice cream and a big smile on her face!!

I really like the hire, CKC brings a wide open full court press game. Athletic individuals will strive in her offense and next year do I expect much not really but if recruits see her style they will come. Plus word is AD Danny White is all in and NIL money will be flowing to make this work. We will see..

She has charisma, which is a good thing in a coach. I think she is really thrilled at how people have made her feel at home. Even though one is not allowed to mention it in that forum, the recruiting for that team has been the worst I've ever seen or heard of. Something like net 2 signees in the last 3 years. And the big brag is that there are 2(!) more commits for the next 3 years. It's astounding. I hope she can win some players over.

What I really like was her response to John Adams!!!
 
I hope it is tonight and I’m there to see it!
Kirby will go down along side guys like Dale Jones, in my book!
VFL imo!
I liked seeing him the only games I've been too. I felt like I knew him from being in this forum. Same with a lot of them. It really enhanced my enjoyment of the game. That was the super regional last year. Hellva introduction.

The John Adams thing won me over.
I can’t stand that joker.
 
@@1RBFjr I was having dinner with some LSU peeps tonight (part of a gathering) and they got off on the subject of the time in 1950 that four Tulane students stole LSU's mascot Mike the Tiger and painted him green. 🤣 😭 The young ones were aghast and I was truly lmfao.
Lololol! That’s incredible, and brave, for doing that to a tiger. I appreciate a good prank. Thanks for sharing. As for the ones who were aghast 🙄

Young corn dogs. Couldn't believe the Wave would roll them like that. 😂

Evidentally, the tiger was in his cage and parked, having just been dropped off or about to be taken away after the game (I don't know which). Tulane dudes pull up in a hurry, connect the tiger's cage (on wheels: a trailer) to their trailer hitch and make a clean get away. I don't know how the painting went, but I bet it wasn't with a brush! I guess they called LSU then and told them the tiger had been "found."

That’s legendary!

And like last time LSU was in town, to have a little fun I’ll wear my Tulane baseball slugger bird tshirt to one game this weekend.
 
Not sure what I think about the hire. Glad DW went outside the Summitt line of former Lady Vol players. New blood, someone young, fighting to move up, could be the spark the program needs. Just gonna have to trust the pick. Danny has been money on his hires, so I’ll have to go with him.
I like the hire because it’s not a status quo hire. This coach doesn’t talk about toughness, defense, etc. She talks about full-time defensive pressure and uptempo for 40 minutes. She is innovative, forward-thinking, and aggressive in her approach. When you play good opponents you have to approach basketball differently, and she does.

Also, she values possessions and shots taken. No offense to Harper, but her take on turnovers was really surprising. This lady understands basketball on a different level and Lady Vol basketball will be fun to watch again for the first time in a long time.

It took me 3-4 days to arrive at my conclusions, but that is after tons of research. Time will tell, but I think she will be quite successful.
