First it was the Illinois "win" at Iowa.
And now this from Sid's column in the Star Tribune today:
Talking about Julius Peppers: " 'He was one of the great high school football players and one of the great high school athletes ever in North Carolina,' Brewster said. 'He started for a Dean Smith-coached basketball team. And also started in football. That just doesn't happen. He's truly an amazing athlete.'
Brewster said football was Peppers' best sport, but when you can start for a Hall-of-Fame coach such as Smith, you have to be a pretty good basketball player."
A few small problems, Dean Smith retired after the 1996-97 season. Peppers didn't enroll into North Carolina until Fall of 1998. Yes, he played basketball for two years (1999-2001), BUT it was for coach Bill Guthridge.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say the Brewster did NOT major in history.
