I love the oxymoronic nature of having 11 teams in the conference. Heck, I even love Ohio State head basketball coach Thad Matta – and nobody likes Thad Matta, especially all those people he beats.

SALAMANCA, Spain – Never before in my life have I been as jealous of a 6-year-old as I am now of my Spanish host family’s daughter. Sometimes at dinner, when “Rosita” is whining about not wanting to eat her peas, I will hear her throw in a Spanish word conjugated perfectly in the subjunctive mood without even pausing to think about it.
