Where I Live

The Lady Vols take on DePaul this Sunday, November 30, 2008 at 3:00 PM at Thompson-Boiling Arena . With four wins and one loss, the #9 ranked Lady Vols go into this pumped to move up in the AP rankings . Though DePaul doesn’t even make the AP Top 25, the Lady Vols need to rack up quite a few more wins to see them move back atop the polls. After the loss to Virginia by one point 82-83 there was a lot of hand-wringing in Big Orange Country. We began to hear things like it was a young team and would take time. I, for one, was glad to hear Coach Pat Summitt was having none of that. Coach Summitt is a winner and her teams are winners. All this young team has to do is look around the arena to hear and see the accomplishments of those teams that came before them. They can also look to the longtime assistant coach and former Lady Vol under Coach Summitt, Holly Warlick. And as of May 7, 2008, this young team can also look to Daedra Charles-Furlow , the newest assistant coach and former Lady Vol under Coach Summitt to join the coaching staff. These Lady Vols know the expectations of their coaches and their university. It may seem like a lot of pressure to endure, but these players all knew what they were signing up for when they committed to play for the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history. If you want to see some of the best athletes anywhere, they will be taking to the hardwood this Sunday.
