WNBA season has started. I’m keeping an eye on my favorite team, the Minnesota Lynx. They’re predicted to be the Worst Team in the West. But that’s okay because my hometown team (the Detroit Shock) is predicted to be the Worst Team in the East.
Michelle Van Gorp, a center for Minnesota, is from the Detroit area, and I’m positive I played against her at least once in high school. I’m pretty sure we lost that game, too. That girl is huge. I’m glad to see she made it – warning: launching into completely uninteresting Detroit-area high school girls basketball tidbit – unlike two other people I can think of who transferred so they could have the advantage of playing at larger schools. I had a whole thing about the players and schools involved, but it could not be less interesting, so I took it out. I was gonna throw a name out, because I bet somebody would even know one of them, but Google scares me, so I’m not gonna.
On a side note, I’m irritated that ESPN.com‘s game update for the WNBA doesn’t auto refresh like it does for the NBA, the NHL, the NFL, you get the picture.
UPDATE: Minnesota won!
