A clean sweep over LSU.   

......for leaving the danged tiglets and coming to UT?

He's a beast.

The separate brands probably bring in more money than having one brand. The sales of Lady Vols merch definitely doesn't come close to the overall brand merch, but it is additional revenue.

And, people who buy LV merch might not be buying regular UT merch, if you catch my drift.

Was that in Kelly's contract or was that offered as an incentive to Caldwell to get her to take the 750K?

If the Lady Vols win the National Championship, UT will make her salary equal to or greater than the highest salary among women's college basketball coaches.

If I can just "find" 251 more points, I can win this thing. 

 

............Evol Knievol!

And, it's a sweep. Evol Knievol won both the men's and women's pickem. As a result, Evol Knievol has won a double bonus prize of 84,600 Iranian Rials. _{84,600 Iranian Rials are equal to two US Dollars.}

The Rials will be sent via Yellow Corporation trucking. _{Yellow Corporation went out of business and its assets liquidated in 2023.}

Congratulations Evol Knievol! Enjoy your prize!

FWIW
She has been married less than a year (got married in Pegion Forge)
Her husband is a basketball coach (current an assistant for Men's BB at Marshall)

Is he going to be on the coaching staff?

...........Evol Knievol!

As winner of the pickem, Evol Knievol will receive 42,300 Iranian Rials. _{42,300 Iranian Rials are equal to one US Dollar.}

Congratulations Evol Knievol!  The check is in the mail. _{The check is not in the mail. The check is never in the mail.}

Enjoy your prize!

This is definitely a surprise. I saw her name mentioned but it was sort of dismissed due to her lack of Division I experience.

Maybe she will have the fire to get this program back on track.

I don't care anything about any of those that are left.   

Slow motion video confirmed that it was a moving screen.

I feel for UCONN. Wait, no I don't. 

I don't remember that. I looked it up and read that he was there, red shirted and then transferred to Winthrop.

What the heck?

She says that she is staying at Duke.

I don't know if she was asked to interview.

I am relieved that she isn't the pick.

I like the Gottlieb idea. Hammons might be good but I don't know if she would come back to college after coaching in the pros. But who knows?

How does this happen?

Woo!

Finally.

And now we get to play against Herman Munster.   

danged tiglets   

In addition to winning and advancing, they will knock out one of my teams in the Final Four.

Good news.   

Kentucky just hired the Virginia Tech women's coach. Things are getting tougher for the Lady Vols.
