That was a pretty thoughtful piece on my alma mater from SMQ (particularly the observation about how we dined out on our fat and happy turnover margin this year despite giving up gobs of yards, something that will surely bite us in the ass next season absent a shoring up of the defense).

However, he clearly omitted the most famous BSU alum of them all: Joyce DeWitt, a.k.a. Janet on “Three’s Company.”

Re: John Schnatter… he’s a Louisville native and founded his pizza empire there after graduation, so I think that was more of a case of “local corporate headquarters slaps their name on new stadium in town” rather than a specific dissing of the school three hours or so up the road where he got his diploma. He’s donated a crapload of money to the business school at Ball State, from what I understand.

(Of course, that hasn’t stopped the urban legend from circulating for nearly a decade that Schnatter offered the money PJ’s gave to Louisville to BSU first, but he was turned down by our completely clueless AD at the time. I don’t buy it for a host of reasons, but a good number of our fans still do…)

Is this where they filmed the final scene from the movie “The Fly”? The press was a little bigger; squashiness the same.

I don’t think I’ve laughed as hard at a comic strip as I did when looking at Garfield Minus Garfield. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Less is more indeed.

I rather enjoyed the crushing of the squash. I think the newspaper one was a ripoff tho.

The Garfield minus Garfield person has to be the most brilliant or the craziest person on the whole wide ‘web.

Or maybe he’s both.

I made it through 3 pages, laughed, then cried, and could go no longer.

I actually used to know someone who went to Ball State just to take art classes from Bob “Happy Trees” Ross. He died her freshman year before she could get into one of his classes. Some say it was the proclivity towards drugs, but I say her downward spiral was a result of the loss of Bob Ross.
