Here in Connecticut, there's a pretty even division between sports fans who support New York teams and those who favor Boston. When it comes to basketball, however, EVERYONE roots for the University of Connecticut. One of the reasons there were so few people at the town budget hearing last night was that it was scheduled at the same time that the women were playing in the final game of the NCAA championship. Some things are just sacred! We won, completing an undefeated season. I didn't notice this until I was sharpening the picture, but the New Britain Herald (for some reason that must have to do with sheer oblivion) featured the men's team--which lost at their bid a few days ago--under the headline about the women's victory. Nonetheless, I like the the shout of the red headline and newsbox, so I highlighted it by rendering the rest in B&W.
Another awesome way to illustrate the theme! Love the edit w/ the black and white - it really leads the eye! That 's how it would be here too - hmmmmm, Nebraska football or a city hall mting, let me see....
