I have to admit that this would be cool

Early next week you might find yourself on the phone or exchanging emails with someone in a different part of the country.

Let’s say it is someone who is a decent person but who, you suspect, isn’t all that impressed with Spokane.

He’ll say: “So, did I just see that Gonzaga is ranked No. 1 in the country?”

And you say: “Oh yeah, I guess that’s right.”

He’ll say: “No. 1. That’s something.”

And you say: “Yeah, they are having an OK season.”

Heh heh heh.
