Lady Vols Bounced in the First Round

Now I know a lot of you probably don't follow Womens College Basketball very closely, and honestly neither do I, but this early Tennessee first round tournament loss is pretty huge if you ask me. The loss is historical in a sense that the Vols have made 28 consectutive NCAA tournament appearances; coming away with NCAA championships the last 2 seasons. The Lady Vols have never lost in the first round, and also have never NOT made it to the Sweet 16 in the history of the Woman's Tournament. They were 51-0 agaist teams seeded lower than 4, and it's the first time in NCAA Tournament history that the defending champion was bounced in the First Round the following year.

Ball State, a 12 seed, and a first timer in the Big Dance put a drumming on The Lady Vols beating them by the score of 71-55. They were more aggressive, and were able to make the big play when it counted. The Vols seemed lacksadaisical in the second half, and the 5 seed couldn't manage to rack up a come back late in the game.

Pat Summit seemed a bit devastated by the loss. The team is still very young, and looks poised to make a run not only next season, but seasons to come. If I were Pat Summit I wouldn't quite reach for the panic button, but the loss does raise some eyebrows and proves that other teams are no longer afraid to face the Lady Vols no matter what the stipulations surrounding the game are.

Pat Summitt Wins 1000

Like almost every male in America, I only respect a couple of women. My Mom, my Grandma, my girlfriend and now I have to admit that Pat Summitt makes the cut. It could be that she single handedly brought women's basketball to light, or that she coached my future wife (Candace) or that she is just a hell of a coach.

The legendary Tennessee Lady Vols coach hit a milestone never reached in NCAA basketball history, after her team pummeled Georgia 73-43 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Summitt reached the never-scaled peak of 1,000 career victories, adding to an already monumental list of remarkable accomplishments. When I think of legendary college basketball coaches I think of Dean Smith, Bobby Knight, Roy Williams, John Wooden and you almost have to include Pat Summitt in that category. (I left Coach k out because he is a douche bag) So congrats Pat, and do you think you can tell Candace to drop that restraining order?

Pat Summitt Can't Handle Raccoons

Pat Summitt, the all time winning coach of college basketball can coach better than anyone, but she can't scare raccoons. Recently Pat dislocated her shoulder trying to knock a raccoon off of her deck. I don't get how this would happen, every time I have encountered a raccoon it has ran away immediately. This must have been a pretty ballsy raccoon to challenge Pat to a duel. Especially because I figure this face was most likely made at it:
