I'm Not... Watching

...and neither are you, apparently.

That's alright, though, the Connecticut Huskies women's basketball team doesn't seem to care, they just keep rattling off win after win after win after... You get the picture.

You should also be aware that they aren't just winning these games by the skin of their teeth. Every single win has come by double digits! Their AVERAGE margin of victory is 32.5 points per game! The last time they lost, George W. Bush was in office and the economy was in shambles. Well, at least part of that has changed.

There simply aren't enough exclamation points available to do this streak proper justice. It is one of the most significant sporting achievements in the history of sport. And it definitely belongs in this blog because 90% of the people in this country are ambivalent to it's excellence. And at least half the population who IS aware could not name three players off that team (myself included).

This team is the epitome of "Not Famous," and their lack of notoriety hasn't seemed to bother them. If anything, it may serve to keep them more focused. It makes you wonder what our professional athletes could do if we'd just stop paying attention to them. They'd have to be more focused and dedicated than ever before. They'd actually have to worry about doing something for the betterment of themselves, rather than for the fame and fortune.

What a thought, huh?

I hereby am officially declaring the Uconn women's basketball win streak "Exhibit A" in my quest to get through to someone that it does not matter who's watching, it only matters what you make of your own opportunities. And I thank these ladies for providing me some evidence.

And now, I'm changing the channel, because I don't care to watch women's basketball.

Be well.
