I know this is supposed to be an arty blog that focuses on design. I know this. However, sometimes there are moments that are just so amazing (like this last year) that they transcend that rubric and simply must be shared with any- and everyone. Last night the UCONN Lady Huskies won their 7th National Championship, completing two perfect back to back seasons and setting an unbreakable win record of 78-0. I am a HUGE fan of UCONN basketball; there are famous stories of me attending games at 6 years old and being the loudest fan in the arena (thankfully I was a cute kid so people didn't get too mad at me)! These women have truly made me and their countless fans proud, playing with unwavering poise and tenacity over the last two years. The stats are unbelievable--they were only down 0.2% of the time in the second half of games during the past two seasons, they regularly beat ranked opponents by 30, 40 or 50 points, they only lost one game (the championship game against Stanford last night) by fewer than 10 points--but you can read about them all here.
If you are curious to see what such perfection looks like, here are a couple of videos definitely worth seeing:

I promise to return to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. I just had to share the good news!
