As staunch defenders of the distaff, we'd be remiss in neglecting this evening's historic NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship game. Muffet McGraw's Notre Dame Fighting Irish stunned Geno Auriemma's Connecticut juggernaut in one semifinal, moving on to face the Aggies of Texas A&M, who knocked off much-ballyhooed Stanford to reach the final game. (Note: this is the first time in G:TB history that Auriemma's name has graced its pages. Auspicious day for him.) Both teams are #2 seeds, making this the first final since 1994 not to feature one of the four top seeds. There are literally tens of blogs dedicated to covering women's hoops (give or take 8s or 9s), so we'll leave most of the analysis to the experts. Skylar Diggins leads the Irish, but since ESPN cares very little about women's basketball and I'm in a hurry, I can't tell you how many points per game she averages. She dropped 28 on UCONN as the Irish became the first team ever to defeat the Huskies and Tennessee in the same tournament.
A&M leads the nation in turnovers created, using their pressure defense to erase a 10-point deficit with six minutes remaining against Stanford. The story of the game will be Notre Dame's ability to take care of the basketball.
And Pam Ward's pantsuit.
We've got the Irish, 77-66. Who do you like?

I thought the Huskies were Connecticut? And shouldn't they be the Lady Huskies? Or the Husky Ladies? TR gets very defensive when you use the adjective husky as it induces flashbacks to childhood clothes shopping so be careful when you throw the word around.

fixed. can't believe we'd never tagged muffet mcgraw before.
I tagged Muffet just last night, in fact.
i was hoping we'd do better with that joke.
Well, we could start calling you little miss muffet if you'd prefer.
As opposed to Miss Moffet. Look within yourself Clarisse!
No Muff too tough!
Do they call their scramble drill in practice Muff Diving?
Get your free Masters App if you have yet to do so.
muffet looks a lot like a muppet.
If I had to guess what she was yelling in this photo (i.e., if Teedge had parlayed this into a "caption this" post) I would say "Yap that fool." But that's just a guess.
zman wins the internet for today. y'all can go home now.
mark gottfried to nc state. that'll fire up the fanbase.
i don't think women like when you call them a "juggernaut." or husky.
you are also supposed to say they have a "belly," not a "gut." i learned this the hard way.
i need help-- can you guys give me some movies or tv shows with awkward and humiliating "asking a girl or guy on a date scenes"? especially where the person is rejected. thank you in advance and it might turn into something good.
obviously, there's the seminal 'so you're saying there's a chance' scene in dumb n dumber.
that's a good one. thank you.
okay-- keep them coming.
are people into "the mountain goats"?
The Mikey answering machine scene in Swingers is epic.
I believe Igor is into the Goats. As am I. You looking for their new album?
TJ will always be a mountain goat to me. I'm not into them -- too much melody and not enough rhythm, but that sort of stuff is a big hit with the rest of the editorial staff.
squeaky's such a pusher. i like it.
jonah hill's character makes a clumsy pass at a girl in 'superbad', then pukes on her.
I'm not really into the Mountain Goats. I have, based on the recommendations of some in this crowd become a pretty big fan of The Avett Brothers though.
I second the Mikey answering machine scene in Swingers.
mark - how close are you to orlando, again?
Dave--see 16 Candles: Farmer Ted & Sam on the bus; Jake calling Sam & getting her grandparents.
45 minutes o an hour depending on where.
pencil in the first week of november for a mini-summit. dave and i will be at disney.
muffet just said, 'i'm in spectacular shape' in a halftime feature. yes, you are, muffet.
Penciling.
Napoleon Dynamite got rejected pretty hard in a movie called Napoleon Dynamite.
thanks. you'll hear from me sooner or later on this.
