What was that?

Stanford clings to #2 spot - Penn State hits -.056 in fifth game of loss to Stanford, but more importantly, they proved they're part of the Nebraska / Stanford conversation. Rose's team was up 2-1 before the wheels fell off. I believe Hoenshelt and Aird are planning on working from home this week...

Speaking of Stanford - "No one told me about that." Yale's Laurel Johnson, finding out for the first time on Thursday that Klineman touches 10'6"...the day before playing against her.

UCSB with the hat trick - With wins over St. Mary's, Notre Dame, and Santa Clara, looks like we have to take UCSB seriously again. Not Top 10 seriously, but more seriously than, oh, say, Friday's post.

A&M, Ws & Ls - Just as UCSB was classin' up the joint, Texas A&M showed that playing Prairie View A&M, Montana State, and Centenary doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to mix it up with the Sooners or Cyclones.

Bummer weekend - Cal Poly, feelin' pretty good after extending Penn State to 5, promptly drops matches to Sac State and Xavier, the latter of which might represent the biggest day in Xavier athletics since the Thad Motta Era.

This is all just a prelude - Sure, Kentucky lost to Alabama in 5 in SEC play, but...who cares? Becky Pavan decommitted to Ohio State after the announcement of Stone's retirement! All is well! Kentucky coach Craig Skinner to become a Canadian citizen by the end of the semester.
