Phyllis Kahn scolds the list for not mentioning the North girls:

Did I miss it (my apologies if I did) or did the list have a similar
number of posts congratulating the North High girls basketball team when
it won the State tournament (3A class) last week? Do we need a little
Title IX attention for   the list?

Scott here:

I would be remiss as a hoops fan not to extend the kudos to our Gopher women
who advanced to the sweet 16 last night.  Now we have a banner we can hang
from Williams arena and I am reasonably sure it won't be taken down for any
violations :) Lindsay, Corinne, Shaq and the gang are a lot of fun to watch!

As to the issue of Title IX, can Phyllis update the list as to how our
Gopher women's crew team is doing this year.  For those who don't know, this
is the program we created out of thin air due to Title IX regulations, at
quite a hefty price.  I'm all for equality of opportunity but to create a
sport out of thin air just to even up overall participation numbers is
downright farcical.  

Trying not to sound like Sid Hartman,
