Ugh. That's a real downer.

Man, who did we piss off? Kelly and now Williams. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery!

What is the wisdom of continuing for her to play? Can't she make the injury worse and affect her future? I want the women to advance as much as anyone, but I hate to see her risking worse injury for the benefit of the team.

Hmm. Did the President know this when he picked us to lose early in the women's Baracket?

Ugh, this is horrible. This team has had such a rash of bad luck and injuries... Good luck and healing to Elizabeth.

Didn't Georgia Schweitzer play with a stress fracture for a while? I don't want to see Williams get hurt worse by playing (if that's a concern), but I have to admit, I hold a special place in my heart for the tough Blue Devils who play with broken legs.

Well, he does have access to a fairly large intelligence apparatus. I sure hope they are focused on more important stuff, though! ;)
