True vegetarians are not a happy lot. As a whole.

I was with you until then.

To summarize: (about time, too)

How can you possibly think you broke my record if you never
did/will/could possibly compete directly against me or even in a format which was anywhere near the same?

The Penn State Women's Volleyball team had a win streak of 109 matches going until it was broken in September. Why aren't they getting more press than UConn?

It's nice that they have a record for Women's Basketball...but that's all it is.

If all this hype had come when they surpassed the previous women's record, I'd understand more. Acting as if it has anything to do with Wooden's record, however, is a turn-off.

What was the previous women's record, and who held it?

Anyone know?





Or care?

The real turn off is listening to any interview involving Auriemma. Could the chip on his shoulder be any bigger? Every time he shows up on a TV interview, I just want to walk up to it and give him a smack.

We've been force fed Women's College Basketball for some reason in this country despite them not being able to draw flies in 99.9% of the venues in the US. If we as a nation don't care, why is it promoted so heavily? Oh, I know this answer -- ESPN broadcasts the tournament and is just promoting the sports it covers. It's also why you see no hockey highlights anymore on SportsCenter.

Nope.
In addition to the women's record, they also have the record for the most consecutive wins in NCAA basketball. Not soccer, volleyball, cricket, or tiddly-winks. NCAA basketball. It's a remarkable feat regardless of gender.

No, they have the record for womens' basketball and that's it.

Just as you don't compare NCAA baseball and softball records, you can't compare mens' and womens' basketball records.

It's like comparing Favre's streak of starts with Ripken's streak.
