998
This will likely be the last update on the race to 1,000 that is written via FanPost. Once Pat Summitt wins 999, I'm going to be full-throttle on the front page with anticipation.
No matter your interest level in women's basketball, there is no denying that winning 998 career games is a truly amazing accomplishment. With the 76-67 disposal of the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Lady Vols are now two games - and potentially one week - from bringing the head coach that coveted big shiny round number of wins.
The next game will be a tough test, as the Lady Vols travel directly from Fayetteville to the Village on the Plains to face the undefeated Auburn Tigresses. (Yeah, I know that's not the official name, but it sounds better.) This young team has been vulnerable on the road; taking that weakness to perhaps the best-playing team in the conference's home court is not a pleasant prospect.
But you know the Ladies are going to be hungry for this one. Win at Auburn, and they get the opportunity to share win #1,000 at home with the Lady Vols faithful at The Summitt.
Wish the Ladies luck; let's see Pat grab that elusive 4th digit on the court named after herself, and let's appreciate just how fortunate UT is to have her.

Go, Pat
Thanks for these updates. Summitt really deserves to get that 1000th win on the floor named after her.
Go Vols!
