    Nice to see all those beautiful Iraqi girls without their burkas on.

    No doubt Pat is one of the greats and no doubt has impacted many people beyond the girls she coached at UT. It's a shame that what she has and others have like her, robs them of what made them who they were.

    you can always spot the greats who continue to provide light, even as they are facing their own darkness.

    One of the greatest coaches, either men or women in any sport.

    Like Terry said it's a shame that this disease robs people of who they are.

    I see that tonight before the Tenn/Notre Dame game that Tenn is going to honor Pat with a banner hung above Summit Court.

    This is a very big game for both Tenn and Notre Dame.

    Go Irish!
