  people write volumes about how barry bonds’ record is hollow, yet we’re about to let a women’s bball team, one with 75% of the top talent in the country on it who’s backups would probably be a 1 seed, have a rightful claim to this record?

  throw an asterisk on this one too.

  I’m amongst the few that actually likes women’s hoops, volleyball, and soccer. That said, the record shouldn’t even be mentioned anywhere close to the UCLA men. The talent disparity in women’s hoop has been around as long as the game itself. With the men’s game, we don’t see the consistent blowouts that you do in women’s high school or college hoops. I don’t recall high school boys state tourney’s annually having a couple of 94-4 final scores. We do every year in Ohio, and this is with having 4 different tournament divisions.

One of the talking douchebags on ESPN proceeded to claim this as proof that UConn had faced tougher opponents. ESPN has its head shoved so far up its own ass it is disgusting.

  Wouldn’t “It’s up to other people to choose who they’d like to compare this to. I’m just proud of this program and the kids and the coaches who’ve been a part of this run” had been enough?

  If you actually follow women’s hoops and think that the Top 25, top to bottom, is comparable to the men’s Top 25, you’re all insane. It doesn’t matter how many ranked teams UConn plays, it’s in no way comparable. I’ve followed OSU and PSU women’s hoops for years, have a friend that’s one of the all-time UConn greats, and really don’t understand how it can be compared to UCLA.

  He did not coach the UConn mens team nor did John Wooden coach the UCLA womens team. You judge your record against your competition.
  No one compares the games of Roger Federer and Martina Navratilova to each other. They hold the most grand slams for mens and womens tennis but they are compared against the players who they competed against or would have competed against. Too compare UConn and UCLA’s streaks to each other is insulting to both. Obvious why it is insulting to UCLA but it is insulting to UCONN because they have to validate there accomplishments against a mens team instead of against there own competition.

  Yeah, because it takes a rocket scientist to talk about sports, right? Nothing more tiresome than when an athlete plays the “You never played” card. That’s like advertising one’s inability to articulate a point.

  And I’ll get killed for saying this, but NSync’s cover of “That’s the Way Love Goes” is pretty damn good.

  Actually didn’t know they covered that one. Their acapella of “Mary Anne Walking Away” is solid as well. Speaking of acapella, sing off finale tonight.

  I haven’t watched one ep and I have all of them on demand. I feel bad for this.

  Well now I have to try to track this down and give it a listen.

  Really wish someone could cover “If” and do it well.

  F that noise, no one is going to do a better version of that song.

  I watch with a bunch of people from work, we sit around, eat pizza, drink, and make harsh judgments on everything about the show. Good times. Love Ben Folds as a judge, and I’m rooting for Street Corner Symphony, their cover of “Down on the Corner” was ballin.

  Geno, imma happy for you and imma let you win your stupid “record”, but then GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!”

  If the suits at ESPN didn’t have kids that went to UConn or had to hear about it every time they went to Starbucks, dinner, from their friends, NOBODY would give a fuck about this

  Yeah, you’re probably right. Might be one of my favorite songs ever. Just a ridiculously fun song and video.

  Geno is dead on. Can’t disagree with one thing he wrote. I’ve written here in the past why what UConn has done is more impressive than UCLA.

  Is it because of better footwork?

  Nice accomplishment Gino, but give it up. It’s women’s basketball which doesn’t hold a stinky jock strap to men’s basketball. You’re not breaking the men’s record record and it certainly doesn’t count as an all-time record since the women don’t pay the men. Apples and oranges Gino or is it Gina?

  that’s great and all that, but this is another record that belongs in the Ripley Hall of Fame, along with making the world’s largest cherry pie or most mattresses knocked over in a dominoes line

  nobody cares

  I bet Geno thinks that Canada wining 5 straight WJCs is comparable to the Canadiens winning x number of Stanley Cups in a row

  Just like that school that hasn’t lost a squash match in years. Just because you don’t care about it doesn’t mean it is an accomplishment.

  That would be Trinity College.

  In Connecticu.
