Hello, Bearcat Fan! Leaving aside both the cultural impacts of Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance and the fact that Donald Trump became the first-ever sitting president to attend a Super Bowl — only to watch as a team that largely rejected his White House invitation in 2018 routed the opposition — to me the most important facet of America’s football weekend was the reintroduction of puppy-monkey-baby. Still crazy after all these years, my dear, dear friend. Let’s go to the news!
WBB was unable to derail Whitman’s freight train season (52-66), but their win over Whitworth (67-57) kept tournament dreams alive and kicking.
MBB has fallen out of the playoff running after taking back-to-back losses at the hands of the Whits.
We asked for it — they delivered! Tennis has opened the spring pre-season as winners. The women routed the Bellevue College Bulldogs 6-1. The men, following an Andre Leif (ʼ26) singles tie-breaker, scraped by 4-3! The women went on to pick up a second victory over Highline. ROAR. HISS. BEARCATS.
Softball and Bushnell traded blows (2-1 & 4-7).
Track & field sent athletes to the George Fox Open. Whitley Stepp (ʼ26) took second of the DIII high jumpers.
In the world of sport: A defensive masterclass earned the Philadelphia Eagles their second-ever Super Bowl, last-place second-division side Plymouth Argyle defeated top-flight leaders Liverpool in the FA Cup, and the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals were set.
Special messages as promised: For our honorable mentions: “A Guide to Sparks 2: Even Sparksier” mopped the section into a corner in that it assumes the potential existence of a “sparksiest” guide to Sparks which the section is not even close to prepared for, the secret Krabby Patty formula is greed, and some puns write themselves. For our winner: 44°42'14.8"N, 124°03'44.3"W. Thanks, readers!
