FINAL EDITION Tuesday April 6 2004 8:00 am EST

 

Jim Calhoun and the UConn Huskies kick off the rioting and furniture burning in Storrs with their 2nd NCAA Championship title in six years.

Conn-quest.  Huskies kill bugs dead for NCAA Championship

25 point deficit just too much to overcome for Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets; players now focus on graduating in 7 years or less.

Reminder for next year:  Don't wait up the extra 40 minutes to watch One Shining Moment.  It sucked most profusely, more than it ever has before.  Hey CBS -- Get a new song already, something perhaps a little less gay.  And send Greg Gumble and his fat head packing while you're at it.

Ben Dover and blood relative Lebron James lockup the big cash making a $30 profit on their investment in 103 sheets.  Goin fo the 2-peat comes into the money for the second year in a row.  Tech Weenies Revenge is the first entry to ever cash in on the Pool from west of the Mississippi.  Congrats to all the winners, your 1099 is in the mail.  And thanks to the rest of us for making believe we're happy for them.
