NTTAWWT

This has to be my favorite story of the week so far:

SPOKANE, Wash. - Fans of No. 5 Gonzaga have been asked to stop yelling "Brokeback Mountain" at opposing players.

The reference to the recent movie about homosexual cowboys was chanted by some fans during the game Feb. 6 against Saint Mary's, and is apparently intended to suggest an opposing player is gay.

Naah...you think? Then again, it could be intended to suggest that the whole team is gay. Or the whole school is gay. Or the whole state of California is gay (not just San Francisco). Or they could just be giving their Oscar pick - did anybody yell "Capote!"? The author of this AP report needs to keep an open mind as to what these students might mean - not that there's anything wrong with that.
