The Lady Vols softball team, by all accounts, was supposed to be a year away.  With freshmen and sophomores all over the lineup, Tennessee should have been too young and inexperienced to advance to the Women's College World Series.

No one told that to the Lady Vols...

Their two game sweep at Michigan, a team that returned almost everyone from the previous seasons WCWS squad, opened up a lot of eyes in the softball world.

Lady Vols softball a model of consistency

The Tennessee Lady Vols softball team has become one of UT's most consistent winners.

On Sunday they beat Louisville 3-1 in extra innings, to capture the NCAA Regional title, and earn a trip to Michigan for the Super Regionals.

Was there a post-Monica Abbott effect with this program?  Perhaps.  The past two years the Lady Vols lost at home in the NCAA Regionals.  But they are back on track now.

Over the next few weeks, two-time NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James will have to make a major decision...

Re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team he made relevant during his seven years in the NBA?  Or jump ship, and sign with another franchise... and if so, where will he go?

Recognize this guy? He's now the future of the Kansas City Chiefs franchise.

Eric Berry lived up to all the hype he brought with him to Knoxville.  Son of a former Vol, one of the best high school players in the state of Georgia...

In three years at Tennessee, he played with maturity, and was a class act on and off the field.
