UConn President, Basketball Teams, Football, Not Worth The Hype, But Women's Polo Soars
Tuesday May 13
And tomorrow's the first-year anniversary of the state Supreme Court case challenging the civil-union law as separate and unequal.
Speaking of unequal, how much does Blog-o-rama LOVE the $170,000 pricetag on that recent gala welcome for new UConn President Mike Hogan? What a joke of vanity.
Wouldn't it have made infinitely more sense to, say, give $10,000 scholarships to 170 students instead?
The school is officially a laughing stock on Blog-o-rama.
Between kowtowing to Notre Dame over a stupid-football venue (Rutgers told the over-rated Irish to pound sand rather than change the site of home games to a larger stadium) and celebrating Hogan for the price that two DOT plow operators make in annual pay, the UConn administration looks very deserving of the dozens of arrests during its annual spring weekend last month.
The UConn football team and basketball teams of both persuasions were also over-rated at the time of their elimination from the recent NCAA tourneys.
Meanwhile, the women's polo team last month won their fourth consecutive national championship, finihsing the season 18-0.
Maybe this year's team didn't have it as bad as last year's, when equine herpes forced their ponies from competition and they used unfamiliar mounts.
It was good that Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, got the team invited to the Capitol a few days after the annual "UConn Day" spectacle and ensuing parade of losing athletes. They can be role models for the athletic department and administration.
