UConn has won the national championship!

No, there is not an echo on your monitor :-) The Huskies have now won both the men's and women's titles, an unprecedented feat.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaw

MVP: Jonathan, the Husky mascot, who had to trudge through hundreds of miles of alligator- and nutria- infested swamp to get from the men's final in San Antonio to the women's in N'Awlins :-)

K-A
who just now realized it's been eight flippin' years since he lived up there and watched the women's games on public TV (that's right!), where they'd routinely work out on teams by like 85-39 every night

4. Whoo-hoo! Welcome, but I find it hard to feel bad about Tenn
especially when Pat S. bitches about Geno. He's passsed her--it's his time now, and she AND the refs can't get over that fact.

Diana may be leaving, but they still have Barbara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. We'll see!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, I kind of wish Tenn had lost earlier int he tournament, and some underdog had made it to the final. Doesn't help the women's game when the same two teams play over and over. There's more parity than there was a few years ago, but it still isn't where it should be.

12. I said she's past her "time"...
...Tenn has 6 titles, UCONN 5, but it's clear UCONN is THE team now--and they have been for the past several years.

13. You had to go and ruin it, didn't you??????????
Notice how Dumbo and his evil handlers like to act as if he ISN'T a CT native. I am, so that's fine with me.
