Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3490321, member: 26"] She was just interviewed by Kornblut on SportsTalk. The article was posted today. This is the 4th or 5th time she's talked about her team deserving to be declared National Champion. Head bang “[I]Absolutely[/I],” Staley said when asked by SportsTalk’s Phil Kornblut if she was ready to declare USC the national champion. “[I]I mean, we couldn’t have an NCAA tournament. And you go to the next best thing, which is your polls. I mean that’s what we’ve been judged by all season long. Some people didn’t have us at number one, some people still don’t have us as number one, but the majority, the majority of people have watched and the majority of people have voted, declared as the number one team in the country. Why not[/I]?” The classy answer would have been something like "We feel like we were in a good position to win it all. But the tournament was cancelled and therefore, there is no national champion. We will have to be content to have ended the season ranked #1" [/QUOTE]
