Summary

This week, Sue reacts to UCLA jumping to the top of college basketball rankings (and how UConn, USC, and TCU play into the equation) and Megan gives her assessment of the USWNT. They’re also celebrating Barbra Banda being named BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year, highlighting her incredible achievements over the past year—all while rising above the haters. Also, adding to her infinite rolodex of life experiences, Sue takes us down memory lane to 2004's Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. And last but not least, “Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue?” when it comes to leftovers on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls? Comment below.
