OK, so the Tennessee football team hasn’t exactly had a stellar year. In fact, it sucked.
But at least about the time football season winds down (or at least winds down if you sucked so much that you don’t even get to go to one of the 163 bowl games), basketball season starts up. And when you’re the Lady Vols basketball team, a terrible season is defined as one where you only make it to the Sweet 16, and not the Final 4.
This past week, they played Texas, a team they had lost to the last few years in a row, and wiped them out, winning 102–61. Then on Sunday, they played Stanford, and beat them 74–67. I like to remind Meredith, who got her masters at Stanford, that UT hasn’t lost to them since 1996. Meredith long since stopped making bets with me about the outcome of that game.
The only sad thing is that I didn’t get to go to the Stanford game, since we were driving back from LA during the game.
Tennessee is now 7–0, including four victories against ranked opponents.
