I'm posting this FYI only. I'm very embarrassed about this, as you can see by my response at the bottom of the article.

Keep up the good work, Dukies.

Whatever Pat!

So you are running away from Geno b/c ur scared of Tina, Maya, and EDD.

Now, you're scared of the Crazies and are "threatening" to run away.

Geno brought doughnuts to the Crazies in K-Ville after the team shootaround that morning (the BIG game of Dee vs. Alana). He didn't care about the Crazies Super Mario and Luigi dressed up. Nor the chants calling Dee "Princess Lea". In fact, Geno laughed at the Crazies and played along with them.

But seriously, if Pat is such a diehard about "advancing the women's game", "respect", and leveling the playing field in terms of equality and fair treatment, then why should she and Alexis be excluded?! If the Crazies do that to the men, they are "clever", "entertaining", "funny", "creative", etc. But why is it a taboo for the women?!

How bout: "RB re-ject! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap) RB re-ject! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)"

That's pretty outrageous.
Isn't taunting and learning to deal with it part of being "good"?

Adapt & overcome, Patty.

And I agree with your comment on the article, Bill.
Very well-put.

Seems like criminal behavior is a fair subject for the public to comment on.

I used to admire Pat S. She's a brilliant coach and deserves all the kudos that have come her way. But lately she is becoming a cartoon of her former self.

"Bah humbug to UConn"....dig your own grave Pat. Demeaning the creativity of the Crazies -- calling it 'abuse' and 'harrassment' beyond the acceptable? GET REAL!!!! The Walmart 'shopping bag thing' was one of the few admirable things that the crowd (...sorry for the bias, but it's been hard to call this crowd "Creative Cameron Crazies" over the past few years) has come up with for a while.

Pat S. needs to lighten up on her opposition -- perhaps wear her TENN cheerleader garb to away games?

Which is worse: Pat S. and her cheerleader garb, or any of Sylvia Hatchell's noted fashion faux pas?

Uncle Terry would have probably agreed with her, to a point.

I/we beg to differ(how many understand this reference?)

For the most part, the Crazies have laid off the more personal issues, but I think criminal behavior is fair game(see ed cota and his cohort re: Halloween mischief and his subsequent panel of 'judges' at CIS that season).

As heckling goes the Wal Mart thing seemed pretty mild to me. Sounds like Pat's looking for an excuse to cancel the series for some other reason.

As heckling goes the Wal Mart thing seemed pretty mild to me. Same here. Obviously, it's embarrassing, but extremely mild compared to what the Duke men have endured from opposing team's fans--and at least it was true. Pat needs to lighten up before she runs out of good teams to play.

This is pretty sad. Pat has had such a glorious career, so much success. She practically built women's college hoops with her own achievements. But she's actually a whiny, "scaredy," emotional blackmailer.
What an embarrassment for my sex.

How about we chant something like "You can't handle the truth!" at the game?

There's definitely material to be mined here. I trust that the Crazies will get it figured out. I dunno if it's really possible to rattle Coach Summitt's cage during a game, but if you do, it'd of course be a great help to our team.

Thank you BillVol.

Does Summitt REALLY expect us to believe that:
1) The Vols receive no other "taunts" from other venues? Vandy? Huh?
2) The Vol fans do not "taunt" visiting rivals?

Wow. The Vol fans, and a topless Bruce Pearl included, must all be angels. Never a fan saying anything at a visitor. No Ivory Lattas in the SEC. Sure. :rolleyes: I sense some avuncular angel halos appearing in CIS real soon.

My life will continue whether or not Summitt wishes to continue playing at CIS.

Lots of Avuncular CHEERS (no taunts:rolleyes: ),

Pat Summitt is arguably the best coach in basketball, but she does things a certain way. While winning national championships, she doesn't let her team forget that they are ladies. It doesn't surprise me at all that Summitt does not approve of "taunting" towards her team. If the crowd is bringing up "inappropriate" issues, it takes away from the whole beauty pageant mystique that Summitt wants her team to have.

Never knew Pat was so feeble.

You know what, Patty? Don't recuit criminals.

I hope the Cameron Crazies are out in full force, waving, wearing orange jumpers and cheering "Bye Bye, Patty...clap, clap, clap clap clap...Bye Bye, Patty!"

I hope the Crazies never made fun of Brittany Jackson when she played for UT. If so, shame on all of you who did such a thing!!!!

No, the crazies would never make fun of Brittany. She's actually trying at a career in broadcasting and sports modeling....here's a photo gallery: http://www.brittany-jackson.com/fashion_gallery/index.htm
