Some Minor Corrections:

It turns out 'Haruto' from Imouto Sae Ireba Ii is just a nickname, the character's real name is Haruhiko.  I established early in '100 Waifus' that all children will be named after the actual name of fictional characters, not their nicknames, to maintain gravitas.  So I had to go back and edit '100 Waifus' a little bit more, changing Haruto's name to Haruhiko, while keeping his nickname of Haruto so people know who I'm talking about.

I wish series wouldn't wait until volume 11 to reveal stuff like this, it makes my job harder.

Also, the two new SAO volumes' release dates have been moved back to 11/9/21, which is a lot further away than 10/26/21, what I was looking forward to.  2021 is the year of delays.

In addition, No Game No Life is receiving a new volume in Japan this November.  This after being defunct since 2018.  I thought Yuu Kamiya had given up but it turns out he was just taking a lot more time than usual.  We'll probably get to read the new volume in 2022.

Conference USA is losing 6 teams to the American Athletic Conference -- FAU, Rice, Charlotte, UAB, North Texas and UTSA.  Historically these have all been terribly weak teams, but recently a lot of them have had surprising levels of success.  UAB is the craziest situation, it went from abolishing its football team entirely, to reinstating it, and now suddenly is being promoted to one of the top conferences in the country.  Where did this new enthusiasm come from?

The future AAC looks competitive, with a lot of parity within the conference and a lot of potential to upset teams in the Power 5.  The poor remainder of Conference USA, though, will be reduced to 8 teams.  Maybe they could accept a couple independents into the conference like Liberty and Army?  Well, its a worry for 2024 or so, nothing will happen anytime soon.
