So the Olympics concluded the other day with the United States rightfully on top of the total medal count and the American public now collectively breathing a sigh of relief that we no longer have to pretend we care about track and field.
These Olympics started off with a bang, with the Chinese putting on a spectacular display at the opening ceremonies that would within days be overshadowed by the decision to have a little girl cut from the show in favor of a cuter little girl lip-singing the part of her crooked-toothed predecessor.

The Beginning
A high school junior in Minneapolis steps onto the football field for the first time. "You're too small," they tell him. "You can't play football." He gives it a try anyway, and look at that: After his first season - as a junior - he gets an offer to play college ball. After his senior season, he gets himself 10 more offers: Stanford, UCLA, Boston College. Not bad for an undersized wide receiver who, only a few years earlier, was perfectly happy just watching Cris Carter and the Vikings.
Meanwhile, a basketball player in Binghamton, N.Y., is told he should give football a try.

When the Massachusetts football team travels to Holy Cross for a rematch of last season's opener, the Minutemen cannot repeat the slow start they had this past week against Albany.
UMass (1-0) knows what the Crusaders offense is capable of. Just ask them what happened to their 30-9 halftime lead when the two teams met last year.

How's this for witty and thoughtful? Students run their showers and faucets 'til we get trays back, then the wasted water will actually stop.
It's not the lack of trays in the dining halls that has me concerned; it's the lack of sleds for when it starts to snow.
