Tonight, the Rutgers lady scarlet knights take on the Tennessee volunteers for the Womens B-Ball Championship. This is very exciting. The game starts in 20 minutes. But I’ve already decided that the rutgers’ ladies are champions. Because it doesn’t matter what happens tonight (I have faith they’ll win), they’ve already proven it this season. This team doesn’t have a senior on it and started the year terribly. Here’s how bad it got: Coach Stringer took away their practice uniforms/gear. She said that they weren’t playing like they deserved to wear “rutgers” on the front of their uniforms– they weren’t giving it their all. They had to bring their own gear and do their own laundry. This lasted a month. This team which no one gave a real chance, which fought through one of the hardest paths to the final game in years, is playing for the championship tonight. Improbable? Totally. But that’s why I love it. This team has heart. They’re intense and fight for every inch. They’re champions in my book already.

The way I look at it…I’m just calling it a few hours before the rest of the country notices. That’s all ‘winning’ is. The rest of the world noticing something that you’ve always known. Winning doesn’t make it any more true than losing makes it false. Go RU!
