Big sports-blog-world news (if that's no contradiction in terms): Q will move from Rethinking Basketball to the new-ish site called Swish Appeal, the first women's sports blog in the very big constellation of SB Nation sports blogs.
If you follow politics, but you don't follow men's sports, you may be more familiar with the figure behind SBNation than you think.
And if you are familiar with SB Nation (which began, I think, as a big set of baseball fan sites) you know that this is a step forward re: attention to women's hoops, and especially to the WNBA, since Q will make the move (and Swish Appeal has already launched) in time for the playoffs.
And now I'm wondering (a) which, if any, of my other favorite hoops writers will join the site, and (b) how long it will take them to change the unfortunate name.
In a related topic, if you live in, or anywhere near, the Twin Cities, and you plan to go hear this panel, do let us know what they say.
