Also, you can always name your conferences after characters that are guaranteed to go far, so that Justin up there is placated. You could have Batman, Wolverine, Skywalker, Solo, Kirk, etc. For my part, although they're all iconic and have name recognition, I'd love to see a conference named after something other than a white dude, whether that's a lady (Catwoman, Leia), a person of color (Lando, Miyagi), or a fantastical beast (Unicorn, Cher).

This reminds me- Why isn't there more on gambling on this site? I am particularly referring to the sports that exist only for gambling- like dog or horseracing, or boxing, for that matter. Will can be the official NerdsonSports bookie and trick us with math and profit from it. At the very least, can't we have a resident -a Matheterologist- someone who predicts numbers, or at least a Mathemetologist- someone who tarts them up with some makeup and makes them look good.

I want to know who was defeated in short work and what matches were extremely close.
