Did you see yesterday's New York Times story titled "U.S. Coach Keeps Talking, and His Team Keeps Winning."

"... His team, Auriemma said, contained “no feminists.” They were not “running around” and “burning bras” and “trying to make the world believe in them.” Auriemma then said he would burn his own bra because it no longer fit. ..."

Is he a coach of women athletes or just a really lame comedian? If it were up to me, he'd be on his way back to UConn.

I am not rude, just keeping it real. You're making a big deal out of nothing. You've been a Vol fan for years, Geno's comments should mean nothing to you by now. Geez
