Who is playing baseball tonight? He hasn’t posted the weekend schedule yet.

I think Oklahoma at Texas is the only conference baseball game tonight.

Which is worse...Missouri going 1-8 since 2011, or Georgia going 0-4 in that same timeframe?

You keep saying things like that while forgetting wbb was basically 2 teams when Pat coached. Dawn is doing it now. In the modern era Pat would probably be Dawn's assistant.

---

Interesting take. Let's look at how they got to the HC positions.

Dawn's first season coaching at Temple was when she was 30. Pat was 29 when she reached her first Final Four as UT's head coach.

Dawn' won her first NCAA tournament game as a head coach at 34. Pat won her first NCAA Championship at 34.

Dawn won her second NCAA tournament game as a head coach at 36. Pat won her second NCAA Championship at 36.

Dawn reached her first sweet 16 as a HC at 41. Pat had won 3 NCAA Championships by the time she was 41.

Dawn won her first NCAA Championship at 46. Pat had won 6 NCAA Championships by the time she was 46.

Pat won her 8th NCAA Championship at 57. If Dawn can just win this NCAA Championship, and 4 more in the next 2 seasons, she will have the same number of championships at the same age as Pat.

Dawn is 55...Pat retired at 61 with early onset dementia. There is no telling what she would have been able to do, had she not been struck down by it.

Pat coached for 38 seasons, winning 1098 games and 84% of the games she coached.

Dawn has coached for 26 seasons, winning 680 games and 78% of the games she's coached.

If Dawn can average going 35-2 over the next 12 seasons, she will pass Summitt on both win totals and winning %. I'm sure she can do it...she has gone 35-2 or better in 4 of her 26 seasons so far. How hard would it be to string together another 12 straight like that?

The schedule is very tough.

Yes...but it could be worse. At least you aren't facing Arkansas' schedule.

Dawn is actually very personable if you ever get the chance to grace her presence.


IF she was Tennessee coach yall would be saying " Pat who" by now

Pat Summitt quotes:

"I've learned that everyone wants to live on the top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it."

"Attitude is a choice. What you think you can do, whether positive or negative, confidence or scared, will most likely happen."

"You can't always be the strongest or most talented or most gifted person in the room, but you can be the most competitive."

"No one feels strong when she examines her own weakness, but in facing weakness you learn how much there is in you."


Dawn Staley quotes:

"I'm of the opinion of, if you're a woman, you should play. If you consider yourself a woman, and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play. That's my opinion. You want me to go deeper?"

Dawn Staley says the Aces beating the Fever is like A'ja Wilson defeating white supremacy: “Basketball is a Black legacy,” Staley said. “This game has roots, soul, and culture. Black women are the blueprint. The Aces didn’t just win — they reminded the world: this court was built by us, for us.”

GOAT of the conference

---

Nope. Since the "AT" in GOAT stands for "All Time"...

1975, 1976, 2009. Those were the three seasons in Pat Summitt's 37 year coaching career that the Lady Vols didn't make the Sweet 16 in the Women's National Tournament (both AIAW...which only invited 16 teams, and NCAA).

Dawn Staley has won 3 NCAA NCs over a 7 season period.

Summitt first won 3 NCAA NCs over a 5 season period, then won 3 in a row...then a few years later, she had back-to-back championships again.

Staley is the best coach currently in SEC women's basketball...but she is not the GOAT.

BTW...“Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story” debuts tomorrow on Hulu, March 29th on ESPN 2, and April 5th on ESPN.

Every president since WW2 ended has done this

---

I don't know that every US President has initiated foreign conflicts without congressional approval since WWII, but it certainly isn't unheard of.

quote:

---

Truman and Eisenhower - Korea
Johnson - Vietnam
Nixon - Vietnam and Cambodia
Ford - Vietnam and Cambodia
Reagan - Grenada
Bush 1 - Panama, desert storm
Clinton - Yugoslavia
Bush 2 - WOT, Iraq
Obama - Libya

---

In reality, US Presidents have engaged our military into initiating action without direct congressional approval 12 times (from what I understand).

1) McKinley - Philippines - 1899-1902

2) Truman - Korea - 1950 - 1953 - (Truman initiated...they were already engaged by the time Eisenhower took over)

3) Johnson - Vietnam - 1964-1973 (while Kennedy had "advisors", the US did not engage in military conflict until Johnson escalated US involvement. There were already troops engaged in conflict when Nixon took over).

4) Nixon - Cambodia - 1969-1973 - Nixon ordered bombing campaigns over Cambodia to disrupt Vietnamese supplies and to target Communist Hubs. This is what prompted the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which was overridden by congressional veto.

5) Reagan - Grenada - 1983 - Invasion of Grenada after a coup. Troops were withdrawn after Congress applied the War Powers Resolution.

6) G HW Bush - Panama - 1989 - Invasion of Panama to overthrow Noriega (indicted in US for drug trafficking).

7) Clinton - Yugoslavia - 1999 - US led bombing campaign against Yugoslav Army to stop Ethnic Cleansing of Albanians. War Powers Lawsuit filed by House Members (dismissed).

8) Obama - Lybia - 2011- US participated in strikes led by NATO forces against Lybia, authorized under UN Security Council resolution. US House members filed suit attempting to block further military action.

9a) Biden - Yemen - 2023 - While strikes were conducted against Yemen military targets after Yemen targeted commercial ships after Israel's invasion of Gaza.

9b) Trump - Yemen - 2025 - Resumption of strikes conducted against Houthis without congressional approval after a 2-year hiatus.

10) Trump - Iran - 2025 - Strikes on Iranian Nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer.

11) Trump - Venezuela - 2026 - Strikes in Venezuela to depose Maduro.

12) Trump - Iran - 2026 - Strikes against Iranian underground enriched uranium facility, and continued to fight under the current conflict.

In your list:

...in January '91, Congress authorized Military Use of Force against Iraq, but that was after he had initiated significant US action in Iraq...but eventually, congressional approval was sought and provided.

...after the 9/11 attacks, Congress granted GW Bush authority for the War on Terror through an authorized use of Military force.

...in 2002, Congress approved a resolution for an authorized use of military force against Iraq

Had to look up the character name, but William Foster (Michael Douglas) in Falling Down gets more and more reasonable as I get older.

I took a break studying for finals in college to go watch Falling Down with friends. Under that stress, William Foster did not seem unreasonable at all.
