They have a NCAA Tournament for women too?!

Yes, and the women actually attend class and graduate in four years. I have the privilege of being the team photographer for UConn and have photographed all 5 of their national championships. The 1995 team had two Valedictorians and a combined grade point average of 3.1. The women play team basketball and attend college for the education. When Candice Parker, Tennessee’s MVP was asked if she was coming back for her junior year (she was offered high 6 figures to leave this sophomore year) she replied “Why wouldn’t I come back and wear orange for another year?. Rutgers women are equally committed to RU. It was a great game with RU being a cinderella story just being in the final four. To turn them into “cheap hos” and Tennessee into "cuties"was the ultimate insult. The thing is that RU has a real swagger to the team chemistry. They don’t hide behind subtlety. They play hard nose “D” and come at you for 40 minutes. At UConn they are pretty much hated on the women’s side the way Duke is hated by men’s side. Those games are wars, but much respect is generated.

“She looks like an Amazon Lesbian. I guess that is true of many, many female athletes and coaches - and it ticks me off.”

She’s been married at least. She’s divorced with one son.

“There was NO response about the rap music. They’re not going to dis their own people., FGS.”

Actually, and I’m paraphrasing, the team captain Essence Carson answered the question and she said that she knew that rappers used similar language,but that it was wrong no matter who said it. This is from my memory of the press conference. I looked all over the web, and I can’t find hide nor hair of a transcript.

Here is a funny for you; on a local tv station (Tampabay) the commentator was talking about IMUS and his remarks. This commentator/news person called the NCAA tournament, the NAACP basketball tournament. This is not a joke, it actually happened. I heard about it on the Schnitt show on our local radion station.
