I believe that the answer to that question is a resounding no. Oklahoma might have the slimmest of chances … but barring injuries, I don’t see anyone getting in the way of the Huskies’ march toward a national championship. The battle will be to see who the other three teams are in the Final Four.

I added a new site to my links: She’s a Baller – all things having to do with women’s b-ball. In the course of doing that, I saw the sad news that Kay Yow has died at age 66, after a long battle with Breast cancer.
Yow had a record of 737-344 in 38 years — [...]
One of the oddest stories I noticed yesterday was about Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg. That seems a particularly inept and bizarre move in a strange year for Plaxico. The Redskins-Giants game was looking like a close call anyway – but now that Mr. Burress has removed himself from the field again (I’m [...]

The USWNT defeated Jamaica 6-0, helped along the way by Abby Wambach’s 2-goal, 1-assist performance. (As an aside, Wambach’s career total for goals is now 91 in 113 games … quite a pace!)
This win means that the US will play Mexico in the sem-finals (in front of an already-sold out crowd of 22,000). According to US Soccer, [...]

First off, this header for a story on MSNBC caught my eye … “Clinton Veers to Dark Side” … it says. “Uh oh,” I thought, “something nefarious here!” Turns out it’s a story about how, in her stump speeches, she uses real-life stories to illustrate her points. Real life, I guess, is “The Dark Side.” I [...]
When I went to bed Notre Dame was ahead of Tennessee, and moving on to play for the Final Four was looking anything but inevitable for the Lady Vols. Candace Parker’s 34 points, however, helped bring Tennessee back from a halftime deficit to a 74-64 win over the Irish. (Did I already say Phew?) With Rutgers, [...]
I was listening to NPR yesterday afternoon and heard a piece (which I can’t find at the moment) about the ongoing debate re. whether or not students should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on college campuses. Can you imagine anything more hare-brained? I feel like the gun-lobby and others of like mind have simply [...]
