“What is the Big 10?” was the question on Jeopardy! Thursday night for the clue “This numeric conference is stealing USC and UCLA, goddamnit.”

Bulldogs got the ball into Brynna’s hands with 6.3 seconds left, and she lost the ball. Also, their player of the year took a shot to the shoulder, and landed face down. I wonder what kind of seed Gonzaga gets now. Might be dreadful, an 8 or 9.

At least I’m not stuck in Las Vegas. In the online application for media credentials, it asks you which team you’re there to cover, with a checkbox “do you plan to stick around after they lose?”. I always check ‘yes’ because on my own dime, I can’t afford not to. Like I said after the […]
