Larry Bird: My confidence was never a gift of talent.

@Nerdery_Richard @FOXSportsKnox Sure wish Lady Vols fans would get behind the program’s efforts to bring in recruits & hopefully overtake the constant negativity on social media.

@FOXSportsKnox I used to take my daughter to games and it was rare when UT wasn't in the top 5 much less not even sniffing the top 25. I don't know how to fix it. But I know there is enough pride among the fanbase to come together and salvage it. The fanbase is there, yearning for a winner

ESPN reporter Holly Rowe has called out Tennessee AD Danny White over the handling of the Lady Vols program: “What Danny White is allowing to happen to the Lady Vols is making me so sad,” Rowe posted. “Gut wrenching to watch him let one of the greatest programs in women’s sports history disintegrate. I am devastated.” Rowe’s social media post came just an hour after #LadyVols freshman guard Jaida Civil announced her intentions to enter the transfer portal. Coach Kim Caldwell will have zero players returning from the 2025-26 roster, and will look to replace 13 total players this offseason.

@KarlieGray2030 @TheRutt13 @_TheLyonnKingg @_BlakeDerrick @Scorers1stU @ProEdgeWBB @TNFlightGUAA @WolvesDen_4 @CAKWarriorsWBB @AbbyWilliams_88 @WeWorkHoops Looking forward to this weekend! ✈️

Looking forward to a great spring and summer season. College coaches get in touch with Coach Omar @_TheLyonnKingg Several girls already hold college offers.

@coachtravis_mc I think “fans” got just what they’ve been pounding this team with for a month…”terrible team, selfish players, incompetent coaching staff”, and day after day of telling them “you don’t belong in the NCAA tournament.” It’s time to stop and let the Lady Vols regroup.

Please stop with the Kim Caldwell negativity… It’s wild behavior to see grown adults lash out like this… Stop mentally firing people the moment they don’t reach success. This season will be one of her greatest teachers and they’ll bounce back — Kim Caldwell is a WINNER!

@rockytopinsider Not really surprised 😕

@srtim1971 @CraigGrafx I doubt that…she’s having her own challenges

@CraigGrafx Kellie Harper is smiling right now

IDK what's going on with Lady Vol basketball. Coach Kims' program has worked everywhere she's been. She's a young coach that has won championships on multiple levels. She coaches her teams hard, but this team does seem to be mentally fragile and to have quit on her.

My Grandparents Were Married For 60 Years. One Day I Asked My Grandfather: “What’s The Secret To Loving The Same Woman For A Lifetime?” He didn’t laugh. He didn’t say “communication.” He didn’t say “date nights.” He looked at my grandmother, who was in the kitchen, and said: “You don’t love the same woman.” That confused me. He said, “She changes every few years. And if you don’t update the way you love her, you lose her.” He told me the girl he married at 22 wasn’t the same woman at 30. Motherhood changed her. Loss changed her. Time changed her. “At 40,” he said, “she needed respect more than romance. At 50, she needed partnership more than passion. At 60, she needed presence more than promises.” And every time she changed, he had a choice: Complain that she’s “not like she used to be.” Or learn her again. He said the biggest mistake men make is this: They fall in love once. Then stop paying attention. “Loving a woman for a lifetime,” he told me, “is deciding to stay curious about her.” Not assuming you know her. Not freezing her in the version you met. He leaned back and said something I’ll never forget: “If you stop studying her, someone else eventually will.” Sixty years. Not because it was easy. Because he kept relearning her.

I’m at a loss for words 🙏 God Bless them 💕 🥹

This song is definitely one of my all time favorite songs! David Gates, from the band Bread, was probably one of the most underated song artists from the 70's. He wrote this song after losing his Dad prior to him becoming famous. I always thought this song was about a romantical relationship. 🤪 Gives the song so much more meaning. Cherish your parents while they are still with you… once they are gone, life isn’t the same. 🥰🥰🥰

@JoshuaBradner @LangmanVince 😂😂😂

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see Barack Obama's new presidential library?

Matt Painter on G-League players being recruited back to college basketball: “You ever see those NBA Centel things, and you think it’s real news? That’s what I thought this was when I saw it”

@GamerMom4TN Not quite so nerve racking 😊

@LynetteLinton1 Fun! How is it compared to when you watched your own kids play?

One of these days I won’t have a child playing anymore. Won’t have my days taken up with games, practices, and tournaments. It sometimes feels like a grind but I know time is a thief. One day I won’t have a reason to sit in the gym. Fortunately, today is not that day.

@KarlieGray2030 @TheRutt13 @LMUWBasketball @AbbyWilliams_88 @CAK_GBball @TNFlightEYBL @CoachVez4 @Letsworktrainin @MeadeHoops @_BlakeDerrick Congratulations!! ✈️💙🩶

After a great elite camp today, I’m proud to say I received my first offer from @LMUWBasketball. Looking forward to being back on campus in the future!
