Every year for the last 10 years, UConn and Tennessee played at least one game a season - the marquee matchup of the year, on ESPN TV, etc. Pat has now ended it, and isn't telling anyone why. Supposedly she's not allowed to talk about the schedule until after its set, because of SEC rules.
Nevertheless, the sportsworld is buzzing. Even people who don't care for WCBB would tune in for this game. The bad blood between Pat and Geno Auriemma was well known - Geno has made several unkind remarks and jokes about Pat, something that classy lady wasn't used to dealing with.
So speculation on the Lady Vols board is that she was just tired of Geno, didn't like the fact that ESPN was trying to move the game to February, and ended the series.
I've been reading the two message boards, The Summitt and The Boneyard, and I must say the Summitteers are annoying as usual. They are the most arrogant fans on the planet, call everyone else names - and yet when they talk about the Boneyard that's what they criticize over there!
I first discovered the Lady Vols because of the yearly UConn-TN game... a lot of WCBB fans did. With that marquee matchup over...what's to bring new fans to the game? What rivalry will be of interest???
