First time I can ever recall something like this happening but Dave Hart has opened up a big enough can of worms that the legislature is considering a bill to make UT to apply the Lady Vols nickname, logo, and brand to all women's sports not just the women's basketball team. UT opposes it on the grounds that it should be left up to the school which in principle I agree with but in reality Dave Hart fricked up here and listened to Nike not the people (both sorely misjudged the brand). It's the height of absurdity that we only have one team dubbed the Lady Vols.

I don't like the idea of a bill that forces the issue but I do like the message it sends. They should be called what they want to be called not what Dave Hart or Nike decides they should be called.

Oh and no our state legislature has nothing better to do but given the other shite they pass this is a step up in productivity.

I really couldn't give less of a frick about the Lady Vols, their "brand" ( ) or the bulldyke reds that support them.

If they want to be called lady Vols, they shouldn't get any non-lady Vol money. We'll see how long they bitch when they're travelling to away games on Schwinns bought with bake sale money.

The only think I really care about in this is that it's COMPLETELY ridiculous that the state legislature has gotten invoked. Perfect example of how fricked up our politics is

Also, let them be called what they want to be called. Who cares, dumb thing to let get to this point
