A milestone worth forgetting

 So remember last month, when North Dakota State's men's basketball program embarrassed itself by first scheduling, and then beating 108-14, a National Christian College Athletic Association school with an enrollment of 100?

Grambling's women went the Bison one better last night. Or maybe three or four times better.

In case you missed the Grambling women set an NCAA record by beating College of Bible Studies by a Division I women's record 141 points.

No, that's not a misprint. The Gramblings really did win by 141 points. The final was 159-18.

Grambling, which is 6-5 on the season, led 34-0 before College of Bible Studies scored a point. The halftime score was 82-10. They should have stopped it right there, like a referee stopping a lopsided fight.

And if you're wondering here "Who is the College of Bible Studies, and how did the NCAA let Grambling schedule a middle school?", let me be the first to tell you College of Bible Studies is not a middle school. It's a Division II NCCAA school from Houston. It has an enrollment of 431 students, of whom only around 123 are full-time. 

Its nickname is the Ambassadors, and last night the Ambassador women committed 57 turnovers and shot just 18.6 percent (8 of 43).

This is not to shame the Ambassadors, mind you. It's to shame Grambling for scheduling someone it clearly had no business playing.

Perhaps there's a logical explanation for this. Perhaps Grambling, which after all has only played 11 games, is playing only a partial schedule. Perhaps a scheduled opponent had to bail at the last minute and the Tigers had to scramble to find someone to play.

But all that is giving Grambling more benefit of the doubt than the Blob is willing to give it. Beating a College of Bible Studies 159-18 is like Dad beating his 5-year-old daughter 159-18 in the driveway: Pretty disgusting, honestly, and reflecting very little good about Dad.

Shouldn't count as an official W, if the Blob's keeping the won-lost stats. And that record 141-point margin?

One milestone far more worth forgetting than remembering.
