Sport TJ: Ducks make Women’s College Volleyball semi-final. Tonight the Tree get the chance to join them. Could be interesting in SFL-land.
@Walking Still: My lovely wife got me tix to the Tree v. Bruins basketball game in Jan.
@Dodgerblue: Men or women? I’m a big fan of the Tree women, because (on occasion) they beat my mom’s favorite team (UConn).
@Walking Still: Condolences to the Tree v-ballers. Michigan was playing at an amazingly high level last night.
@Walking Still: I’m still recovering from the Stanford wimminz soccer team losing to North Crackolina in double overtime in the NCAA championship game last week. Tree women b-ball is great to watch, too.
