UCONN, UCANN

An unbelievable year has just concluded for the UConn basketball program. The women seeking a third championship made it to the final four but went no further after being eliminated by a hot and deserving Notre Dame team. The men had a run that was so improbable that the laws of probability themselves were challenged. They completed a 14-0 tournament on neutral sites for Coach Jim Calhoun’s third national championship. Its puts them in elite company and this year goes into the category of elite years. No doubt Coach Calhoun appreciated his elite team in ’99 and ’04, but I think in his heart of hearts he would say about this year “I never had a better one”.

E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
