Next question, who the hell is Campbell College?

It's where all the best Soup Chefs went to.

For the record, it's the Campbell Fighting Camels (and I didn't even have to look that up).

Exactly, Campbell has a solid program for a tiny private school in NC. I am pretty sure they don't mock us for being a small directional state funded school in IL.

I'm not sure "solid" is the word I'd choose. They've had a team since 2008 and have never won more than 6 games in a season (never made the playoffs and never finishing better than T-3rd in their conference). All time recored of 50-83 (29-61 conference Pioneer/Big South).

My "I didn't even have to look that up" comment was because I have a knack for knowing college mascots (primarily D-1 basketball programs). Hell...I wowed my wife the day I met her because I knew he alma mater's mascot (UMBC).

She will disagree that she was impressed. She says she thought I was weird for knowing they're the Retrievers. But we've been married 10 years and I tell that story at least once a year in front of her.

"I had her at....Retrievers!"

That's about the time she walks away from the conversation.

Big Red. This is by far your best post of your career. I don't think you can top this. No way.
