Maydog vs. Women's CBB (Don't worry, this will be brief)
I don't care at all about the Women's championship and never really have. (Even when ND won the ONLY national championship of me 4 years there in 2001, I was kinda like 'Um, Ok that's cool; hey look, Wrestlemania's on.')
I could go on and on about the reasons why (the lack of fundimentals, the crowds, Geno Auriemma, the announcers, the GOD-AWFUL refs, Geno Auriemma), but do have one comment/conspriracy theory that is very evident in this year's bracket: Women's college basketball is fixed. You heard me: fixed. The whole sport is gears around fixing it so either UConn and Tennesee win it all every year. In fact, the woman's committee, when announcing the brackets, should just, "Ok, UConn's a 1 seed, Tennesee's a 1 seed; the rest of you, um, just decide among yourselves and let us know how it works out."
Case in point: Rutgers, a team everyone LOVES this year for karma reasons, is giving the worst draw possible and put them the same region as UConn when there is no way that were the worst 2 seed. Throw in about a THOUSAND shady calls in the last 10 years that SHOCKINGLY ALWAYS go for UConn or Tenn., and you're sitting there thiking "Hmmmm....maybe you're right, Maydog, and women's college b-ball IS more rigged than boxing."
Ok enough of that...
