Basketball and a Bad, Bad Mood

I’m in a sour mood today, therefore holing myself up in the house and making some garbage soup. Fresh okra is available this time of year, and that’s one thing that makes the soup so damn good. That and the tobasco sauce.

I’ll also be working on Clapotis, cleaning house, and drinking coffee even though I practically gave it up months ago. Pablo also informs me that his litter box needs emptied (he must have learned to read, write, and type when I was out last night – and with such good grammar!).

On days like this my mood requires a quarantine. It may very well be contagious.

In the meantime, read about feminist conflict over Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University women’s basketball team becoming part of the Sweet Sixteen. Roni sent me this story, but being no sports expert have very little to say on the subject. Roni says,

So a man who hates feminists, hates political correctness, and rejects socialism was seen sitting courtside and cheering on his women’s basketball team. Talk about Twilight Zone.

Remember Title IX, anyone?

There is also an interesting discussion taking place at Women’s Hoops regarding (presumably) anti-feminist women taking advantage of feminist advancements in athletics. Women’s Hoops is a very cool site that talks about everything from women in basketball to athletic politics to Title IX.

Dr. B weighs in as well on the subject with Women’s Sports and Sexuality.

  1. Re: Jerry Falwell. He doesn’t hate feminists. Most people could be fairly said to dislike silly PC. But!..anyone in his right mind hates the thot of socialism! So Rev. Jerry isn’t all bad.

  2. Well, Lauren, I am sorry I didn’t see this earlier — great links. I was madly rooting for the Lady Flames for reasons I made clear on my own blog last week — but gosh, I do understand those who are troubled by Liberty’s success.

    It’s all about Baylor for me now, another Baptist school.
