When people ask me "so, you are a professor, can you get free football tickets?"
I lost my parking (which costs $360 per year). The lot I was in for 12 years was sold last year & I was transferred to a new lot a 7 minute further walk away. I found out today that that lot was converted to student parking. I am on the wait list for 5 of the 7 closest lots to my building.
Right now we have a choice between women's basketball, baseball, and soccer all on tv at the same time. This is pretty astounding and special to have an overload of women's sports tonight!
Napheesa Collier passes Katie Smith for third all-time in Lynx franchise scoring history, gets a nod and applause on the video board here early in the 4th quarter
Man. I don't have any other words to describe Olivia Miles. She is now up to 21 points, 5 assist and 3 rebounds. IN JUST 14 MINUTES.
According to the broadcast, Chris DeMarco leads the league in technical fouls. Meanwhile the Liberty lead 35-23 after Sabrina Ionescu hits her first three pointer of the afternoon. Ionescu has now 12 points.
Asked Cheryl Reeve about the anti-trans demonstrations taking place outside of WNBA arenas. Per usual, she was thoughtful as can be. Part 1/2
All 11 Minnesota Lynx players who have stepped on the floor tonight have now scored.
For WNBA leadership: The people doing these rallies are not potential fans and there is no reason to cater to them.
The Indiana Fever play tomorrow in Portland and Sunday in Minnesota. There are "Support Sophie Cunningham" transphobic rallies planned for both cities. Fuck all the way off. #WNBA

I was excited that our local theatre got the Invite when no other theatre nearby did. However, A24 has to pay for some better posters!
Jonquel Jones is the 2026 WNBA All-Star game MVP 🔥 She dropped 22 PTS, 13 REB, 8 AST & 4 3PM to lead Team Spoon to victory! #WNBAAllStar2026 | AT&T
A record that will stand for a while. The United Center is the biggest pro basketball arena in the country. It would take having the game in a football stadium to draw a higher number.

Last McBride bucket credited as an assist to Miles, the first 10-assist game of her career.
Loved seeing The Odyssey with a packed house at my local indie theatre. It was fantastic & so great on the big screen. But if Penelope lived in Genova (like AH did in the Princess Diaries) instead of Ithaca - maybe could have solved the "no man to sit on the throne" problem?
