My UW e-mail address dies today. My address of record now is the same combo of first name and last initial as my u.washington.edu one, but with gmail.com after the @.
Meanwhile, UW finally decided to start winning some damn football games. Thanks for having the no-win season while I was watching and waiting to stop sucking 'til I was gone, gentlemen.
Turns out my boss is a big fan of college football. We quoted Eliot together to capture the weird inversion of traditional powerhouse teams such as USC losing a lot this season, such that lesser-regarded teams are winning. And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Pasadena for the Rose Bowl?...
(I can hold my own on the literature front with the man, but regarding football I rely on friends' Facebook status updates for any sports info and he quickly sniffed me out for a know-nothing.)
uw,
football,
