Congrats to the Tennessee Lady Vols yesterday on a great victory!
Everyone is gazing up at good ol' Rocky Top again. After a nine-year title drought, Tennessee and coach Pat Summitt are NCAA champions. The Lady Vols captured an elusive seventh national title Tuesday night, beating Rutgers to the ball for second and third shots in a 59-46 win to reclaim their customary place above all other programs. Candace Parker scored 17 points to lead the Volunteers (34-3), but the smooth All-American got plenty of help from Shannon Bobbitt and a supporting cast of teammates. The Lady Vols, trophy-less in their past five tournament visits, wanted this title -- badly. Almost from the outset, they outworked the young Scarlet Knights (27-9), who waited until the final game of an improbable tournament run under coach C. Vivian Stringer to show their inexperience.

Candace Parker will be back next year to take us back to the championship again! I managed to make it on the local news channel at Buffalo Wild Wings during the event, where the BIG ORANGE was roaring!
