Auriemma – Summitt…Yes, it’s Still on Like Donkey Kong

You just have to love women’s college basketball! Wait a minute, did those words just come out of my cake hole? I swear, I’m not drunk, at least not yet anyway. After this spit, I may start making out with Jack, but until then I have one thing to say. God bless Title IX!! Hip, hip, Hooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy Beer!

What in the hell is going on with me today? I, usually like most, fall into the majority of peeps who despise all women’s sports. Sorry ladies, mommy said always tell the truth! Honestly though, I have a soft spot in my heart for women’s softball. Wonder why that is? Oh yes, now I remember! Nonetheless, I’d figured it would be a great time to come out of the closet, (don’t worry mom & dad, you won’t have to disown me) and just state my love for women’s college basketball. Yes, it’s a fine game.

What’s not to like?

There’s "nappy headed hoes" (Rutgers - Don Imus reference) running around in oversized tank tops and shorts, (that if shortened a bit, might just draw in more viewership) sweating to no end…I mean, what’s not to love? If you don’t love watching ladies drip in sweat, well, you’re just not living I guess? Although I will say, it’s just too damn bad that they actually try to score the ball…However, if one can overlook that, hell it’s a beautiful thing to watch!

Along with all this comes the fact that women’s college basketball somehow needs to find a way to incorporate and bring back MTV’s Celebrity Death Match, but first an Amber Alert would have to be sent out for Mills Lane. What the hell happened to the old geezer? Why incorporate this into the women’s game? It’s real easy! So then Pat Summitt and Geno Auriemma could "get it on!" Not literally, that would just be plain gross and down right scary. Figuratively here peeps, figuratively! To say these two are like oil and water, Well, that’s putting it very nicely!

Over the years, Pat and her Vols, along with Geno and his Huskies have help turned peoples perspective on women’s basketball. Some would even go as far to say these two, along with their respective schools, helped geared the way for the WNBA! The Tennessee/UCONN game helped bring women’s basketball to a national audience. And now what paved the way for women’s basketball has suddenly been blackouted because of the same heated rivalry which help in promoting the game! One of the best rivalries in all of sports had it’s plug pulled.

What caused to pull the plug? Geno said Tuesday that the regular-season series against rival Tennessee was canceled because Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt accused the Huskies of cheating in recruiting practices. All along Summitt when posed the question on why this heated rivalry would come to a halt would only offer up a "Geno knows" response. So what does Geno know? Good question and Geno finally spilled the beans saying…That if Summitt would not explain, he would. You go boy, put that bitch in her place. Do it the Italian way! Rock out with your, well you can finish it……………….

"Pat knows ... So she should just tell you why instead of saying, 'Geno knows.' I do know," he said. "I already told you. She accused us of cheating at recruiting. She doesn't have the courage to say it publicly. So yeah, Geno does know. And I've said it."

See, I told you my passion ran deep for women’s college basketball! The cheating he’s referring to is a secondary violation of NCAA rules in connection with a 2005 ESPN studio tour that the women's basketball office arranged for then-top recruit Maya Moore. Yeah, and I have a paper cut too on my finger so I can’t pop my zits, (I don’t use Proactive and don’t have a crater mug like Diddy). So here it is 2008 and Pat still has her granny panties in a bunch, (God, I’m hoping she wears granny panties. Anything else would be just gross) from back in 2005. Glad to see to she doesn’t hold any grudges!

To see these two lovers quarrel makes my day, although isn’t this being a little petty and childish from Summitt? Hello, it’s the NCAA. Everybody cheats! If you don’t cheat in some fashion, well chances are your program sucks! It’s not like UCONN offered up an Escalade to Moore or $500,000. It was a tour around ESPN.

That’s like loaning your friend back in third grade some milk money so he doesn’t gag to death on that "cake-like" substance they put in the "lunch surprise" meal. Yeah, it was some surprise! I’m sure I’m not alone when I say if a school arranged for me to take a tour around ESPN that would automatically not want to make me sign with them. Remind me not to play Tecmo Bowl with her, I’ve been diagnosed with the ever popular "wandering eyes" syndrome! It’s along the same lines as what you’re crying foul about!

Auriemma said last year that Summitt could not publicly explain her decision to end the series because "she would be put in a position of needing to back it up." And on Wednesday, Summitt declined comment. God, I love women’s hoops! I’m going to miss all this. There’s always the Final Four! My fingers will be crossed and so should yours!
