OK, now, I love Jill Biden. Fantastic lady. Fantastic first lady.
But come on, now. This is not how this is supposed to work.
I'm an LSU grad and Baton Rouge resident, but I would have stated the same if Iowa had won. Hopefully the Iowa team will decline.

The winners get the WH trip.

(9,134 posts)LSU not only won, they kicked Iowas butt. Let them celebrate as the champions without putting the team they beat on an equal footing.
If this does go forward, dont do the visits at the same time.

(7,286 posts)But the Iowa team captured my attention this year ( I'm a UW grad) , which led to an interest in NCAA womens basketball in general. The womens final four was awesome! Much better than the Mens IMO
I think I am not alone. The ratings for the game were the highest ever.
So history in the making, I reckon.
