Sometimes I think the sole reason for the existence of sports is to break one's heart.
This was written by our friend, LM, who is also a Cal fan but we don’t hold it against her.
C and R were so bummed last night we couldn’t even enjoy Skylar Diggins tearing up UConn. Incidentally, did you see our girl Candice Wiggins rooting for Skylar? She got to know her on a recruiting trip to Stanford. And could you have imagined if Diggins came to Stanford. She’s only a sophomore. At least UConn also losing eases the sting and erases some of the stigma the media was set to heap on Stanford.
So, the question has arisen for C and R; whom do we root for in the final final four game? Do we root for Texas A & M so we can say at least Stanford lost to the eventual champions? Or do we root for Notre Dame to "exact our revenge" on Texas A & M and say, see they didn’t belong there. What are your thoughts Stanford nation? And let us know if you are a Cardinal fan stuck with plane tickets to come home Wednesday and have to stay until the bitter end.

I'll be rooting for the Aggies.
It’s little consolation to be able to say you lost to the national champions, but A&M’s run is a good story, Gary Blair seems like a good guy, and I generally root against Notre Dame no matter the sport (Sunday night against UConn excluded). Skylar Diggins is one heck of a player. The men’s championship game certainly isn’t a tough act to follow.

Well, congrats to Texas A & M.
Now we can say Stanford lost to the champs. C and R still rooted for Notre Dame and Skylar Diggins.
Looking forward to next year.

There is no doubt about that having been written by a Cal fan. Trust me on this.
I'm thinking of having a little party down in Newport.

and sorry to hear about Cal’s former Women’s Basketball coach Joanne Boyle

I'm confused about Coach Boyle
She seems like a very good coach and is capable of winning at Cal (she was, after all, the last coach to defeat Stanford at Maples, and she’s been a coach in game that set a conference regular season record for attendance at a women’s game). I’m just wondering if the rebuild this year and all the Cal Athletics behind-the-scene money drama were just too big of obstacles to overcome.
Hopefully Cal can hire another quality coach like Coach Boyle. I really did respect her and her teams.
