With the tip-off of the Lady Vols’ game against SEC rival Ole Miss at noon on Sunday, 9 January at the Thompson-Boling, head coach of the Lady Vols, Pat Summitt, is encouraging church-going ticket holders to attend “early service”. Lucky for fans whose church offers an early service, which can accommodate Coach Pat’s plea, but bad for ticket holders whose house of worship is at the sacred eleven o’clock hour. Perhaps the preacher will have season tickets and will make the sermon short. Better yet, Coach Summitt could have scheduled an ecumenical service at Thompson-Boling at 10:00 am so fans could go to church and attend the game without having to make those tough decisions.
Ever the optimist, Coach Summitt believes in the Lady Vols’ fans base: “I think we have the best fans in the country and I think they’ll find a way to get here,” quotes the Knoxville News Sentinel. I think the Coach is right. They’ll find a way– if God wills.
