Lady Danes beat Bing 50-49

Being called the Lady Vols is UT's decision. I just think that maybe we should follow the lead of the team that has won 4 out of the last 5 NCAA Championships the UConn women.

I know its picky, but I've been told that they are not supposed to be called the lady danes.

 

P.S. That website is webmasters intellectual property and not of the stations. He can call them whatever he wants.

 

Um, according to you, people should just call them the Great Danes, so he can't call them whatever he wants. He's a member of the media so he should follow the guidelines set forth by the department. You don't go on the air and call Siena the $ienaheads do you?

 

The reason for the Lady Vols, etal other Lady nicknamed teams, was that some departments have split men's and women's sections. I believe Kentucky and Arkansas call their female teams Lady Cats and Lady Razorbacks.

Does UConn call their female athletes Husky Women or Husky Ladies?

I have to say this thread is amusing the hell out of me.

 

On the official UA athletics site I don't see a mention of "Lady Danes". Although on the promotion material for the BPG the university site does say the "Lady Danes tip off at 4 p.m."

 

On the coaches show Wyland used to do a Burger King question sent in by a viewer. If he still does it maybe we can have him ask Trina Patterson what they should be called. Hopefully in a few weeks we can call them the "America East Champions."

 

Continuing with things that amused me I thought this guy was pretty funny.

So, what's the weather going to be?

 

Please, someone stop this thread and get onto somethign that matters.

Great Dames?

[WCDBvoiceofUA]

I agree with UA66, didn't mean for their to be such a reaction. DaneMan is right though Tennessee is a split department because I worked with an SID from their over the summer. He worked for the Men's side, and he said the women's side was totally separate.

Great Dames, LOL. That's funny.

 

Dane Pound, I also like the picture you presented.

 

Thanks, all. for adding a little humor to our lives.
