popcorndiva's review against another edition
3.0
It breaks my heart to rate this so middle of the road. I love the Lady Vols, I love Pat, I loved the UCONN rivalry.
Unforutnately, this book just did not deliver what I was expecting. I will say, the author did a phenomenal job being vert neutral towards both teams. Once I saw that he was a writer for UCONN, I expected a lot of shade to be thrown at Tennessee. However, he stuck to the facts and stayed objectibe throughout.
However, he failed to deliver too much outside information about the rivalry. He went into detail about how the rivalry game started, but this is information that you can mostly find online and on youtube. Then, much of the book is spent describing the games in detail. Which would have been fine if that wasn't the bulk of the book. Mainly we got game summaries with a couple anecdotes about the rivalry thrown in.
The book didn't offer too much new information that I didn't already know. I also felt like he really underutilized the player's accounts. There was not as much drama or insightful knowledge as I had hoped.
So, while I loved the writing style and his ability to be objective, there just wasn't enough information about the rivalry to be fresh and new.

I enjoyed it because I'm a huge Tennessee/Pat Summitt fan, but it was a little repetitive and I wish there had been more personal stories about the coaches.
