You people, with few exceptions (chef, mad, et al), are missing the point. Absolutely, we applaud what we like and boo what we don't like. But we don't have to make our likes and dislikes personal. So Pat has a stern look and Geno isn't very tall. So what? They make for one helluva ballGAME and their players GRADUATE. Classless? Hardly. And yeah, they've got attitude, but again, so what. And ending the regular seaon game can only be good for the sport. First, look at all the interest Pat's controversial decision has sparked. Second, it frees up one regular season game for both teams to play other, perhaps lesser known teams, a boon for the little guys and the whole sport (by growing interest in lesser markets). And third, just imagine a UT-UConn tourney matchup — in the final. Makes one salivate at the thought. I bet it makes ESPN and other media outlets salivate, too. One parting thought: try to exercise some semblance of the class both coaches show for their sport and themselves by doing what they do so well.
