Rabbits in the Women's Final Four Program

[filbert]

Sitting in Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, waiting for the first national semifinal to start, what do I find right there taking up all of page 6 of the Women's Final Four program?

Head of the Class

The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are transitioning to NCAA (R) Division I and won't achieve full Division I status until 2009, but they already have won a Division I championship of another sort.

The 2005-06 team had the highest team grade point average of any NCAA women's basketball team in any division -- 3.730.

Not new to us of course, but it would be hard to buy this kind of positive exposure in front of the most influential possible audience in women's basketball.

There's a pretty good picture of the team in a classroom, too. I'll see if I can scan it when I get home.

Great publicity for the Jacks. Very impressive.

I was thinking about you last night while watching the games--wondering if you were there. My wife and I hope to make it there one of these next years.

Hey Filbert, who are you going to be rooting for tonight??

Just kidding, give my regards to Snookums (but don't tell her I'm rooting for Rutgers!)

I've received the temporary Orange blood transfusion that's required to get into the Tennessee Fan Party at Jacobs Field (!)

Go Lady Vols!!!
