Jeff Rice is upset that Penn State's best team ever isn't in New Orleans.

Sure, he says, Lions fans could blame the site selection system or the refs. "The truly great teams, however, carve their places in history by overcoming great adversity. Until Monday night, the Lady Lions looked very much the part of one of those teams. Now, all they can do is watch teams with equal or lesser talent carve their names."

(Is this more veiled criticism of coach Portland?)
