Downersl Grove, Illinois. Hope to the legendary professional wrestling Poffo family, which includes one Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

Fleck's approach to the running back position has kind of been like this.

The movie "Idiocracy" is now being marketed as a documentary.

I haven't had a drink outside of communion for 40 years. I was a straight arrow in high school, but when I got to college, I probably woke up over the legal limit at least once a month. I quit in 1984 as I was in the midst of a love trapezoid (much more complicated than a triangle) and decided...

It was amazing day (at least it was for me) when my brain moved from my, uh, you know what I'm saying and into my skull. I've known my fair share of Mormons and they are pretty much like everyone else in their daily lives. I've never been to a Mormon temple (I've been to a synagogue, a...

Very true. Once opponents realized that there weren't any inside options, the Gophers hit a wall offensively.

Ab-so-effin'-lutely. I think the reason they had a good first half of the season Ben's first year is that there were guys like Willis and Loewe on the team. It was the lack of depth and talent did them in the second half. The portal group Ben has brought in this time around looks to be far...

Good analysis. I think the difference between Christie and Oturu is that Christie has one A+ skill (shooting) while Oturu was more well-rounded but really didn't have a single calling-card skill. Oturu was also a bit of a tweener in the size department. Christie is a tall (and lanky) wing...

Good luck to him. Has a ways to go physically, but the guy can shoot. I know there was a lot of buzz about the Timberwolves getting him in the 2nd, but when Shannon fell to them in the late-1st, Christie would have been redundant.

Cochran looks like a perfect fit in a lot of ways.

I wouldn't say he was run out of town, but I think he was aware of what Darville and others were doing (heck, he was probably intimately involved in everything) and knew something was likely to come down the pike from the enforcement side of the equation. No need for an alternative history, but...

Walter Payton played HBCU Jackson State.

Pearls can now be released.

There have been myriad knock-offs of the original, but the Wapner-era The People's Court set--and remains--the gold standard of the genre. Maybe Rashada should just get on Judy Justice to get this sorted out.

Judge Wapner always said "Do you have the receipt? No? Case dismissed!" Plaintiff shuffles out to talk with Doug Llewelyn looking all down-trodden. Doug: "How do you feel about the judge's decision?" Plaintiff: "Pretty lousy." Doug: "Did you learn anything valuable in the experience?"...

When I was born, they threw out the mold. But some of it grew back.

The name sounded familiar so I dig some internet digging and I don't know how many remember the entire episode. Florida had a commitment from a QB named Marcus Stokes, but then withdrew the scholarship offer after Stokes was discovered to have dropped n-bombs in one of the platforms these crazy...

Downers Grove, Illinois. Boyhood home of Randy "Macho Man" Savage and his less famous brother "Leaping" Lanny Poffo. Both sons of pro wrestler Angelo Poffo. All three now wrestling in that great ring in the sky. Snap into a Slim Jim! Oh yeaaaaaaaah!

I think things have changed dramatically in higher ed (although I wouldn't know for certain seeing I am 70 years old and matriculated in the mid-1970s). It seems that the whole concept of the liberal arts has diminished and I am more familiar with what happens in K-12 schools (although I don't...

The thing that's humorous (at least to me) is that in most national rankings, the University of Southern California ranks higher than the University of Wisconsin. People think USC is a glorified junior college but I know from some of the daughters' high school classmates that went there, it's a...
