Good point. OK, you'll beat ND by 12, not 20.

Well, A&M just upset Baylor (Baylor had beaten them 3 times this year ...), so Uconn will have a chance to get revenge against Stanford in the title game.

Would like to pound them. Think we'll have too much athleticism for them this time.

Love to see UCONN play Stanford again to avenge the only loss of the season.

This is the 3rd time in the last 8 years both UCONN men and women programs have gone to the final 4. No school can claim that. Let's hope both of them bring home the national championship trophy.

I know that UConn will probably beat ND by a good margin, but personally, I am hoping for a Stanford/ND title game matchup. :)

It's a fantastic achievement.

Uconn has had an amazing year - football in the BCS and men's and women's b-ball in the final 4. That's the two elite college sports, and then arguably the 3rd or 4th most important one (with baseball) all at the highest level.

USF has never come close to doing any of those things in our entire history, so to say i'm jealous would be an understatement.

It would be even better if we can win both. USF got a bright future sitting on football recruiting hotbed. It takes time to build a program and USF can certainly get there in time especially in football.

Um, not!

What a nice read, especially the comments. I was a huge Irish fan Monday night.
