Know this isn't sports related...but let's just hope all of our schools don't pick up students from Palm Beach after reading this fact.

The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day

Time for "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day."

Another example of why America's public school system is rapidly decaying, despite the massive amount of tax dollars that flow into it.

In Palm Beach, Florida, high school students can now pass a history exam by getting 23 of 100 questions right. For those of you who flunked math, that's a grade of 23.

In my time you needed a 65 to PASS.

And get this. To get an A in history in Palm Beach, a student has to get just 50 percent of the answers correct.

Ridiculous? You betcha.

Those kids will never make it through college, at least never through the University of Arkansas. Hell, I've had classes where the A range was only 95-100. These kids have it way too easy.

Somebody should tell Marshall. Those bright students would fit just fine in Huntington!

lol...I was wondering who Toledo's main rival was.

I give you guys a lot of credit, year after year I see Toledo whipping some Big 10 school in football. You're one of few mid-major teams I usually put in a Top 25 poll.

Btw, watch out for Central Florida this year.

UCF will be tough, and we play in Orlando this year.

In terms of rivals, our traditional rival has always been Bowling Green. But, until last year they haven't had much of a team lately and we seem to be playing Marshall for the MAC Championship just about every year, so a rivalry has sprouted with them very quickly.

Good luck this season!
