Happy Birthday!! Tylwalk!!

Although you're back in Pennsylvania, your spirit still lives on here at Chronicle Sports. The staff would like to take this opportunity to thank the legendary Nick Tylwalk for his years of service to the paper and the Journey. So staffers, when you are daydreaming Saturday, pay some respects to the most electrifying man in the history of collegiate sports journalism. And now, an encore presentation of a great NJT byline.

GREENSBORO - From the very first day of the 1998-99 season, Duke women's basketball coach Gail Goestenkors insisted her team's ultimate goal was winning a national championship. The players, too, felt they could play with any team in the country.

Not everyone agreed. With Tennessee aiming for its fourth consecutive title and armed with the best player in the land, many observers wondered, could the Blue Devils really beat the Lady Vols?

Wonder no more.
