The dry spell is over in Knoxville, Tennessee in more ways than one.

We’re having a spring thunderstorm in here in Knoxville tonight; the University of Tennessee Lady Vols created a thunderstorm of their own in Cleveland on the road to their seventh national women’s basketball championship.chapionship tee shirts already on sale

Championship tee shirts are already on sale; think somebody knew something? ;-)  

The final game was never in doubt, Tennessee dominated from the tipoff until the final buzzer and the final score of 59 to 46.

Stellar play by superstar Candace Parker as well as inspired play from the shortest Lady Vol, 5 foot 2 inch Shannon Bobbitt who knocked down 3, 3 pointers in a row to contribute a total of 13 points.

Bobbitt is the shortest player every to be on scholarship at Tennessee. She may be short in statue but she was 8 feet tall tonight on the court, scoring at will, dribbling at will through as many as 3 Rutgers players at once, and generally being an inspiration to the rest of the team.

Good job ladies, you truly deserved to win tonight and you did.

Good news for next year and there after too; only of the starters is a senior, Sidney Spencer.

Parker, Bobbitt, and all the rest will be back next year.

Will 2008 be number eight?
