UCONN WOMEN—HUSKIES ARE A CHAMPIONSHIP BREED; WIN OR LOSE
I have come to praise UCONN not bury them. Sports teaches life skills and one of those realities is that “you can’t win them all.” Well, the UCONN Women came damn close to doing that yet again this season! The UCONN women lost a heartbreaking overtime game in the national semi-final. If they played… Continue reading UCONN WOMEN—HUSKIES ARE A CHAMPIONSHIP BREED; WIN OR LOSE
