A Funny Little Story about Brook's Legacy

In 2nd grade, so about 2002, I got in a fight in the middle of art class with a kid who said he didn't care Berringer had died. Now I was only a year & a half old when he died. I had no memory of actually seeing him play, but I grew up hearing stories about him. I heard about his selflessness, his humility, his strong faith & his eagerness to give back to the community. For this little punk (and lets be honest, he was just being your typical smart-ass 8 year old) to say he didn't care was unfathomable. Everyone I knew loved Brook! It had never even registered in my mind that someone could feel any other way. We even had this poster hanging in our basement. Look how awesome he is! So I got up and used my safety scissors to cut his art project to ribbons. My enraged teacher, Ms. Brown (a very appropriate name for an art teacher, by the way) told me to go pull a ticket, a method of punishment in which you start the day on green, but pull tickets from yellow,

How a College Football Video Game Could Work Today: A Proposal

Basic Premise Operating under the assumption that the NCAA wants nothing to do with college video games as it stands, this game will be an unlicensed game. No real universities, players, conferences or stadiums will ship with the game. Instead the game will ship with fictional universities, stadiums and conferences.

Using these customization systems, users will be able to re-create real universities, their uniforms, their players, their stadiums, their conferences and more. Users will then be able to upload these re-created universities to file-share for all users to download for free. Considering the enormous community that currently updates the rosters for NCAA Football 2014 , it’s certainly feasible that a sizable community would be eager & willing to ess

Highly Incompetent Athletic Director Makes Best Hire in School's Entire Basketball History (Satire)

Lincoln, NE - In his latest act as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's athletic director, the highly incompetent Bill Moos secured the most impressive basketball head coaching hire in the school's history. The clearly "in over his head" athletic director introduced Fred Hoiberg as Nebraska's new head basketball coach at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. The hiring of Hoiberg, which has been unanimously praised both locally and nationally, is the latest in a myriad of miserable successes that has plagued Moos' tenure at Nebraska. There is no need to turn a Nebraska basketball coaching decision into a humiliating spectacle for everyone involved. Bill Moos is in over his head. https://t.co/pKgYWigT5R — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) March 26, 2019 Moos, who handled the coaching change "horribly" according to many local and national media pundits, secured the impressive hire just 15 months after making one of the most exciting hires in the storie
