Hmmm … makes me wonder if Mike Vorel, their very solid UW beat writer, is moving on to better things. If so, good for him.

And as we used to say, release the hounds (or Huskies in this case). This is a great time to cover this beat.

 

Vorel announced on Twitter he is replacing Stone as the columnist.

 

Btw did we ever find out why that lady was fired from the Kraken beat?

 

Not officially, but yes.

 

what happened?

 

She seems to have landed on her feet well in San Francisco.

 

Required: a love of visits to State College, East Brunswick and Iowa City.

 

Piscataway, not East Brunswick. And you’d probably stay in New Brunswick, which isn’t bad at all.

 

The five-hour flight will be bad.

 

The flight and time change will suck. But it might actually be easier to get to than other Big Ten schools.
