I’ve never had the pleasure of drinking Tab. I wasn’t around for its heyday in the ’60s and ’70s, when it became popular as the first diet soda from Coca-Cola, and even as a devoted soda drinker with a fairly diverse palate, I had no idea that it was still in production until just a few years ago. It became harder to find over the decades: It didn’t get the advertising shine or widespread shelf placement of, say, Diet Coke.

The Connecticut Huskies do not cut down nets when other programs cut down nets. They do not climb ladders when they win a conference tournament. No one touches scissors when they make the Final Four.

SPOKANE - Geno Auriemma likes to say the Elite Eight is the hardest round of the NCAA tournament. This has become something of a yearly refrain for him. The UConn Huskies' coach has been here more than anyone in the history of college basketball, and he has won here more than anyone, too. But he never finds it comfortable. "If what was coming next wasn't that important, it wouldn't be difficult," Auriemma said.

There is no one powerful enough and no situation big enough to escape NCAA brand regulations around beverages: Paige Bueckers was just made to put her celebratory Diet Coke in an NCAA cup
The 1978 AIAW Championship was the last time UCLA was in the Final Four. It was also the first time the women *had* a true Final Four, held on its own weekend, in a major venue, shown on television. On the legacy of that run from 1978: https://t.co/ZBAE7xnEzi
