Anything Less Than a Championship Would Be Uncivilized

Just in case you missed it, the UConn Huskies finished off their undefeated regular season by punching fifth ranked Louisville in the baby-maker, 75-36. The Huskies in total won 36 games this season, and while that's impressive it's really the manner of their victories that needs to be noted.

1. The Huskies did not win any game by less than 10 points.

2. In 36 games the Huskies average margin of victory was 31.5 points.

3. In 5 Games against ranked teams UConn won by the same average of 31+ points.

4. UConn's average margin of victory on the road is even better, coming in at 32+ points.

5. Louisville lost 1 of their 30 games against teams not named UConn, they lost by 28 and 39 points respectively in their two matchups.

6. Oklahoma's Courtney Paris Guaranteed a National Championship but her squad lost to UConn by 28.

7. UConn Doubled Up Their Opponent 9 Times this year, including the Big East Title Game

8. UConn won 16 of their games by 30+ points.

9. UConn won 26 of the 36 by 20+ points.

10. In the Big East Title Game, Maya Moore scored her last point with 7:52 to go in the game, the score read Maya Moore 28, Louisville 27.

Honestly, if they don't win the championship it's going to be just as ridiculous as the Pats not winning the Super Bowl two years ago. They are head and shoulders better than every other team in the league, not winning a title is not an option.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
