And so, it is done. UConn started a little bit slow, but gained momentum and seriously outplayed Louisville for the 3rd time in as many meetings this year. Louisville looked good at the start, but couldn’t sustain momentum against the smooth, efficient, disciplined Connecticut side. So they cap an undefeated season with a National Championship. [...]
Amazing game last night as the Louisville Cardinels took it to Oklahoma and are moving on to the national championship game. Angel McCoughtry came back after a dismal first half and scored 14 of her 18 points in the second frame as she helped her team put away the Sooners. Now they have the dubious [...]
I’m not talking about JordanCornblog being # 1 in the men’s bracket this morning. While that’s true, to point it out would be unseemly.
No, I am talking about Cynthia who is perfect on the women’s side and ranks among the #1 scorers anywhere and EVERYWHERE this morning! (Right at the moment, the calculations on the [...]
Okay, of that group, which one(s) would you put your money on?

Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]
Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]
Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols gave her a solid, at-home victory over Georgia … and her 1000th win last night! She wanted to hit the milestone at home on the court named after her — and she did — thanks to her “Baby Vols” — a team that includes 7 freshmen!
How does she do it? Leadership [...]

I just read on the net that Cat Whitehill tore her ACL while training in Korea yesterday for the Peace Queen Cup. This is obviously a huge disappointment for her – particularly so as she had worked so hard to get herself back into shape and to the fitness level that Pia required. Stephanie Cox [...]
