I cannot wait -- cannot wait -- until the day this guy walks and we get to see it. It's like if you didn't know when exactly Christmas was going to hit, but you knew it was coming, and everyone gets and shares the same gift. My God, what a moment that's going to be. Cannot wait.
New Orleans is the most fun place in the country to VISIT if you're you or me. I can think of quite a few more fun places to LIVE if you're sitting on a few million. Yes, New York is one of them.
Women's college basketball is in a different point in its evolution than men's college basketball was in the 70s. The depth of competition isn't the same, although one hopes that the children of Title IX and their children will make it so someday.
And you know what? It shouldn't matter one iota.
Men's college basketball holds no monopoly on excellence, and that is the first reason why lumping the men's and women's records together artificially is offensive. The same pundits who decry the idea that some men aren't getting excited about this record now -- or are resentful about ESPN forcing it down our throats -- are the same people who should have made the same considerable deal out of UConn's having smashed the women's record months and months ago. It's a superlative achievement, and should stand on its own. No need to exhume the still-fresh corpse of John Wooden to seek validation they earned on the court quite a while ago.
