Football players go on strike.  These are the replacement players.   And… Continue reading

     A couple of things hit the new regarding college graduations this last weekend so I thought I’d put them all in one place.  If you heard of more, feel free to chime in in the comments. First up:  Howard University: Apparently Howard (a Historically Black College or University) didn’t do much in the way of… Continue reading
