What's In a Name?



So amazing that even NPR put their lef-wing Spendocrat view on the game.

Let's say that there was a team called Winona State playing for a championship, you wouldn't expect them to win, you'd probably expect them to lose in a unbelievably painfully way.

Well, let us take you to the NCAA Division II Championship Game in Springfield, Mass. The Winona State Warriors vs.the Barton Bulldogs.

With 35.5 seconds left, Winona State was up five (74-69) and shooting free throws (uh-oh).

Here is what followed:

35.5: Missed Winona St. free throw
35.2: Barton rebound
25.2: Barton jumper (74-71, Winona)
25.4: Barton steals the Winona inbound
22.2: Barton lay-in, and the foul (74-73, Winona)
22.2: Barton missed free throw
21.1: Winona rebound
19.4: Barton foul
19.4: Winona hits one of two
7.9: Barton reverse lay-in (75-75, Tie)
4.0: Winona drives down court to take the winning shot, Barton steals the ball.
0.2: Barton all alone up court, hits winning lay-in (77-77, Barton)
0.0: Barton is your National Champion.

It was the most amazing ending to basketball game David has ever seen.

Winona's heart is broken once again. As Seth would say, what are you going to do?
