She did it...or rather her players did it for her...1,000 wins. Last night the Lady Vols beat the Lady Bulldogs of Georgia 73-43 to give their legendary coach, Pat Summitt her 1,000th win.
I hope she wins 1,000 more...and a few more national championships.

Back-2-Back Champions
The experts said they couldn't do it without a healthy Candice Parker. Guess what, they went and did it anyway. Know what? If you don't roll with the Lady Vols...you get rolled over!
So how do we celebrate? We sing Rocky Top, what else.
And now a few words from the boss...

Five Down, One to Go
Tennessee 47 - LSU 46
Alexis Hornbuckle only scored 2 points last night, but they mattered the most. She put back a missed shot by Nicky Anosicke with 0.7 seconds left to give the Lady Vols the win. Next up for Tennessee...Stanford and an 8th national title. At least that's how I hope it turns out.
The game wasn't pretty, not by a long shot. But a win is a win, and I'll take it!

Halfway There
My girls are in the thick of things. After opening up with a 94-55 win over Oral Roberts, they sent Purdue packing 78-52. Last night, the Lady Vols played a sloppy first half and rode on Candice Parker's back as they beat Notre Dame 74-54.
Needless to say, there were times when the boss wasn't too happy.
After a few halftime adjustments, the Lady Vols played like the defending National Champions they are.
Alexis Hornbuckle going up for two.
When you've got a horse, you ride it, and Candice scored 34 last night.
When it comes down to crunch time it is all about attitude.
Three down, three to go. Next up for the Lady Vols, is Oklahoma State.

1 Down, 5 to Go
It's March Madness time, and it's aptly named. This past weekend featured upsets galore. On the men's side, West Virginia beat Duke, and Davidson beat mighty Georgetown. In the women's tournament Ohio State was upset by Florida State, and in a wild game, the Marist girls found themselves trailing 55-44 to DePaul with about ten minutes to go in the game. At that point they went on a 32-2 run and beat DePaul 76-57. Yeah, I spent a lot of time on the couch this past weekend watching basketball.
My Tennessee girls started tournament play last night in West Layfette, Indiana, beating Oral Roberts 94-55. Now, it's on to round 2 where they'll face Purdue. It takes six wins to bring home the title. One down, five to go for my girls. I also have a soft spot for the local teams as well, West Virginia beat New Mexico and Maryland beat Coppin State.

Too many Lady Vols in the paint and not enough Lady Mountaineers. Tennessee dominated inside all night long.

Time to celebrate another Tennessee win.

I've Got Tickets!
Yep, me and the Wild Child are going to see the NCAA National Champion Lady Volunteers take on the Lady Mountaineers the day before Thanksgiving at the Charleston Civic Center. Now we just have to figure out how to make the next six weeks go a little faster...not to mention the five hour (one way) drive to get to Charleston. Who cares! We got tickets! WOO HOO!

Saved By a Back-up and a 37 year-old Kid
I'm a huge sports fan: the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, Penn State & Maryland football, Lady Vols basketball, and Dale Jr.
That said, it was a lousy weekend for me. The Lady Vols didn't play--their season hasn't begun yet. Oh well. But everyone else I root for did. Let's see how they did: Dale Jr. finished 10th at the Kansas Speedway and didn't lead a lap--phooey. Penn State lost 27-20 to Illinois--at Illinois. And the Steelers go into Phoenix and got beat 21-14 by the Cardinals--what's up with that? Talk about a bummer of a weekend.
But wait, all wasn't lost. I forgot about the Maryland Terrapins. They went over to New Jersey to play the 10th ranked Scarlet Knights of Rutgers. Maryland's starting quarterback got hurt and the back up quarterback--who I've never heard of before--comes in and rallies Maryland from a 17-14 deficit and leads the Terps to a 34-24 win.
Oh, yeah! FEAR THE TURTLE
Oh, I almost forgot, there was one other thing that got me excited this weekend--besides Goody Two Shoes. Green Bay Quarterback, Brett Farve, passed Dan Marino as the all-time leader in touch down passes. Also, Farve and the Packers are 4-0 and Farve is playing like he's ten years younger--jumping up and down, running all over the field, and grinning ear-to-ear. Ya gotta love someone who plays for the love of the game first, and the big paycheck second.
