I’m not sure if there’s been a more redundant headline written than the following:

“Connecticut Huskies finish unanimous No. 1 in ESPN/USA Today women’s college basketball poll”

Which goes to this article about the incredible run by the UConn Huskies, who finished off their impressive season by smoking the Louisville Cardinals to win the Women’s National Championship. I’m not sure what gave the Worldwide Leader the first clue about UConn’s dominance. Perhaps it was the 39-0 record. Perhaps it was Geno Auriemma’s sixth championship trophy. Whatever “it” was, it yielded a timely headline, wrapped in mystery and suspense.

I’m sorry, but I have to ask: Which was more redundant? The headline or the need to actually take a season-ending poll confirming what everybody already saw? Another thing: Why does any collegiate sport besides BCS Football needs a season-ending poll in the first place? Is a National Championship game — one with a clear winner and loser — not enough?

In other UConn Huskies news, their newest championship trophy campaign introduced many of us to the hotness that is Meghan Gardler (via TBL).

Too bad we have to sit through useless headlines on an otherwise slow news day.
