Day 633

• The first COVID-19 forfeit is going to occur.  Washington men's basketball is forfeiting (for Pac-12 purposes only) to UCLA.  The NCAA officially records as a no-contest, the conference records it a forfeit.
• Amy Schneider is now all-time women's money-winning record-holder on Jeopardy!.  Another $53,400 today for $536,400.
• I did err in one respect:   Mayim Bialik is returning next week -- Jeopardy! is holding a two-week college professors' tournament.  Schneider returns after that.
• Ken Jennings noted today, according to my anonymous friend, that only one person, in the history of the program, had more money in 12 wins than Schneider:  James Holzhauer.
• Today is the first day of Early Access for Final Fantasy XIV and it's final expansion of it's first ten-year story arc:  Endwalker.  As such, the game is experiencing unprecedented load in it's ten year relaunch history -- so much so that the game freezes my computer because the processor can't handle the strain of the massive number of players.  And that's when I CAN get in!  Eek.
• Utah has routed Oregon again, won the Pac-12 football championship, and will face whoever from the Big Ten the Rose Bowl Committee wants to send or Iowa in Pasadena in four weeks.
• The second half of the home-and-home between the Warriors and Suns has gone to Golden State by 18 points, breaking the franchise-record 17-game win streak of Phoenix.
• This weekend is "My Cleats, My Cause" Weekend in the NFL.
