We've all been there: Super bored during a long rain delay at a baseball game. When UConn and the USF found themselves in this situation, they turned life's lemons into the sweet lemonaide of a dance-off.
And if you must have the audio.
Florida lived up to their name as the University of Super Freak and scored high points for turning that tarp into a slip and slide (I've wanted to do that for years!!!), but UConn took the game — with the killer instinct to take their shirts off and get down and dirty. (Okay so UConn actually won the game by scoring more points than USF, but I like my version better.)
For the rage portion of my post:
I found this through a Deadspin post, which I found through this Jock Bitch post. In his post, blogger Dashiell Bennet cites this swingin shindig as the reason that College Football and Basketball are 'superior' to college baseball. First, no one puts baby in a corner! Second, this baseball boogie shows a level of sportsmanship and comradery that is rare in any sport today. Especially for these kids, so much is at stake in these sports that it is easy to forget that this is a game.
BTW: That's right I would rather be known as a person who reads Bitch than a person who reads Deadspin.

I love this. Someone sent me a link, and I lost it, and found the clip on your blog. :) I love sportsmanship of any sort. As a USC fan, I was touched when UCLA took a delay of game penalty to even things up after we wore home jerseys at the Rose Bowl (an old tradition they decided to start up again) and were penalized by the NCAA. Sports rule.
