and I must admit I'm feeling mixed emotions right now.
I'm disappointed they lost - for the team I wished an unbeaten season and championship in 2008 - but on the other hand I'm enjoying the squirming and hypocrisy of certain fans on the Lady Vols message board.
According to them, the refs cost the Lady Vols the game. The Cardinal shot 32 free throws, the Vols 10. (And that is odd, actually, because normally the disparity is the other way around.)
But a couple of weeks ago, when North Carolina fell to the Lady Vols, Coach Sylvia Haskell commented - commented - about the disparity in free throws when her team was always in the paint - where those types of fouls are supposed to build up - and the Lady Vols shot so many more than they did.
And certain fans at the Summitt ripped her a new one for saying that. "Don't whine about the refs," they scolded.
But when the shoe is on the other foot...
Too funny.
Also, UConn, Tennessee's great rival (until Pat Summitt enfed the series this year) beat Stanford by 12, earlier this year, while Tennessee lost to Stanford. So cerain members of the two fan bases, who snipe at each other on the message boards, now have even more to snipe about.
Certain Summitteers are very disparaging towards the UConn coach, because of his sarcastic sense of humour (a type of humor I don't like, myself, it must be said), and after Summitt ended the series without giving any reasons they were all over speculating what it might be, etc., but now UConn is able to get a bit of their own back.
Ah....fans...more entertaining then the game sometimes....
