The House moved some bills, the Senate moved some bills. None of it was more than vaguely newsworthy. But the House and Senate got to share the partially diminished limelight with the UConn football and men’s and women’s basketball teams, at the taxpayer’s expense of a session day when the state deficit is between $3.2 and $3.5 billion. The Blogster was wondering, as National Champion Coach Jim Calhoun was talking about “overcoming adversity” in the packed House of Representatives, whether he meant that possibility of the 3-game NCAA (National Coaches Athletic Association?) suspension occurring during the recent March Madness, instead of the light touch of an early season suspension next year for his recruting violations, as ultimately ordered up by the NCAA.
Anyway, for those who cared about the poll earlier today, it looks like only four actual basketballs were brought into the Capitol for various Huskies to sign, as the reception gathers steam in the Capitol’s historic Hall of the Flags.
