i know what you mean. i was introduced to a lot of lesbians via travel teams, softball. learned a lot lol.

surely in the next month, pat summitt will tell whether she is coming back or not. i'm bracing myself. even though i know it's coming, now or a little later, ... i get emotional about it. whatever is decided, i'm ok with it. she/they know best.

That's cute about your niece.

Yeah about Pat....i haven't been an avid Lady Vols fan till Bully moved here but i have seen a few games over the years. Even though i knew what was going on with her now, and even though i knew that Holly had stepped up to the plate, it hurt my feelers to see Pat sitting on the side lines for 98% of the games.

We usually get seats directly across from Pat and the team and one thing that i did notice though is that she touches her face a lot. This can be one of the side affect of some of the Alzheimer meds. So, i'm hoping she may be adjusting to the medications and maybe she will come back next year. One thing for sure and i know Bully brought this up. The amount of people here that are Lady Vols fans is so heartwarming. The stands are always close to full and sooooo many shirts with the "We back Pat" words on them. I love this town.

*keeps fingers crossed that she is back a few more years. It just won't be the same without her at least by the team.
