Before we get started, a quick note about third-person references. Thursday, the 5-at-10 was asked/called out about using 5-at-10 in an article that was by the 5-at-10. First, the 5-at-10 is a huge fan of third-person references. Second, this is the InterTubes and not the daily newspaper, so we try to broaden our approach a touch. And finally, it’s a shoutout to one of our favorite people in sports and one of her best quotes. (Background: When the UT men’s basketball team was looking for a coach before they decided on Buzz Peterson more than a decade ago, there was growing support for Pat Summitt to get an interview. The AP story asking Pat about this possibility had this golden quote in it: “Pat Summitt has the job Pat Summitt wants,” Pat Summitt said. – Now that’s some third-person referencing right there. Well done, Coach, well done.)

Here we go…
