Bing

The Seattle Storm is the latest team to sell - I mean get a sponsor to wear on the front of their jerseys. Until today, I had never heard of Bing. But bling is bling, and you gotta do what you gotta do. At least they're happy about it.

In other WNBA news, the Sparks' Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton has learned much this season from her assistant coaching gig at Purdue.

Several WNBA stars can be seen in this great photo gallery of the UMMC Ekaterinburg vs. Nadezhda Orenburg game. I like this Candace Parker picture, myself.

In college news, Tennessee's Glory Johnson is trying to move her game up to the next level.

Kristen Nash has decided to forego her last year of eligibility at Texas.

Lady Vols fans are on the job: there are twenty-two comments on the Glory Johnson story. Awesome.

yeah, in a perfect world people would be getting turned away at the box office for w games. alas, that's not the way it is in real life. so if teams need to hook up with a corporate sponsor to stay afloat, then so be it.

seriously, the alternative (either sooner or later) is no team. thanks, but i'll get over the logo on the unis to have my summer fix. :)

don't get why so many folks get their panties in a twist over the logo placements. its business. nothing more, nothing less. the point of being in business is to make money (i don't care how altruistic force10 hoops professes to be about this). taking on partners is an accepted part of business.

people need to let go of the idea that the w is some sort of lofty endeavor. let me say it one more time, its a business. a business that wants to turn a profit. a business that must turn a profit if it wants to continue to exist and grow.

There aren't more dedicated fans in the NCAA than Lady Vol fans.
