Heck of a game ...

And now, if you will allow this minor show of partisanship -- Go Gamecocks!

That was a heck of a national championship game no matter who won, but it was sweet that South Carolina did win the last game at Rosenblatt Stadium (2-1 in extra innings over UCLA), coming back from the elimination bracket to do it. Hats off to both teams.

But, please, enough already with the ESPN commentators' "first major championship." Any national championship is major - I don't care what the "commonly accepted" nomenclature is, and I think it's disrespectful to the women's track and field team that won the school's first NCAA national championship.

Now back to our regular programming.
