Thank you Stanford

Finally!

On December 30, 2010, something happened that hasn't occurred since November 16, 2008 - the U-Conn women lost. Ironically, the last time they lost was also to Stanford. However, this loss snapped their winning streak at 90 games.

However, something more important happened with that victory. Now, everyone can go back to their normal routines. We can watch SportsCenter again. We can go to sports related websites again. We can watch highlights of the previous nights sporting events again. Why? Because now these Clydesdales are no longer going to be forced down our throats as every media outlet tries to make us care about this 'accomplishment'.

Women's college basketball can now go back to the same corner reserved for sports no one cares about, like curling, luge, cribbage, footbag, and unicycle hockey. You have your four fans. You have better mustaches and more armpit hair than I do. Good for you. Now go away.

Hopefully this squad will continue to lose at random points in time so that they can stop being forced into the national consciousness. This is a niche sport - like kyudo. Once again, thank you to the Stanford women for getting rid of them from my television. If any of you were attractive, I'd take you out for a beer.
