The University of Connecticut women’s basketball team is unrivaled in their sport.  The school owns two of the longest winning streaks in basketball history, a 70-game mark the team ran up from 2001-03 and their latest mark, a 71-games and counting streak that started in 2008 and continues until now.  That’s right; the team broke their own winning streak record, but does anyone really care?

I mean, for starters, it’s women’s college basketball.   It’s not like there’s a lot of serious competition out there.  There are stand-out players like Elena Delle Donne and Brittney Griner out there, but for the most part UConn outclasses its opponents easily.  Save one team.  The only team in women’s basketball that might stand a chance of beating UConn is the very team UConn coach Geno Auriemma refuses to play:  The University of Tennessee Volunteers.

The Vols/Huskies rivalry is one of the best one in sports, but due to some serious bad blood between Auriemma and Volunteers coach Pat Summitt, the winningest coach in NCAA D1 history,  the teams will never meet outside of the NCAA Tournament (and usually only in the Final Four there).  Geno, if you want anyone to take your team seriously, stop ducking Pat Summitt.  If you want to be seen as the best, you gotta play the best.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
