Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]
Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is? I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation. Nice and quiet at work, though. I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]
Stanford and Tennessee players wake up this morning to the prospect of one, final game of hoops down in Tampa! Ace and Ice have a lot riding on their shoulders, and a lot of history and respect between them. Meanwhile LSU and UConn head home … to rebuild and regroup!
On the soccer front, fans can [...]

As Jules says, “It’s anybody’s game.” Chris has convinced us all (after much hard work) that those are oranges painted (or stencilled, or something) on the court! Alice is getting tired … and we’re off!
Well … 13:26 left and it’s a 2-point game. They are grinding it out … 27-29. Candace Parker was just fouled [...]
We’ll be having eye-witness, on the spot reports from Tampa for all of the Women’s games, as up-to-the- minute coverage is being provided by none other than BJ, Dewd and Paula LR.
Their reporting may be slightly colored by their biases which I’ll lay out here, in the interest of full disclosure:
BJ is rooting for LSU [...]

The Dallas Morning News gives the edge to LSU and UConn in tonight’s games. The Seattle Times likes the star power, with four All-Americans hitting the court in Tampa for these games.
In a bit of a surprise for some … Candice Wiggins steps on the court with yet another honor … this year’s Wade [...]

The wild winds of April (at least that’s how it was last night in these parts) nearly blew in a couple more #2 seeds … but in the end the #1’s prevailed on a nerve-wracking night of hard-nosed basketball.
What a gutsy performance by Candace Parker (as well as Jenny Moshak and the Lady Vol’s athletic [...]
Well, well, well. Sorting things out this morning I see that #6 Pittsburgh eliminated #3 Baylor to move into the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history! Meanwhile (too bad, Karyn), gritty Florida State took Oklahoma State to overtime before succumbing 73-72 (on a free throw with 0.7 seconds left in the game [...]

I was listening to NPR yesterday afternoon and heard a piece (which I can’t find at the moment) about the ongoing debate re. whether or not students should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on college campuses. Can you imagine anything more hare-brained? I feel like the gun-lobby and others of like mind have simply [...]
The USWNT plays Norway today at the Algarve, and the game kicks off at 11AM ET. Check it out on the USSF site (on Matchtracker) at gametime, and read the preview here, if you want some background.
Here’s an interview from Fair Game with Cat Whitehill … and another piece by Gayle Bryan about Leslie Osbourne’s bumps and bruises … and some pictures [...]
I do like it when there’s internecine fighting over there on the right, don’t you? It appears unlikely that Rush will make his peace with Mr. McCain any time soon … unless he’s just spouting hyperbole to bolster his ratings. But something like that would be beneath a pundit such as Rush … he’d never [...]
