You’re an SC fan right?

Yes, I am--I have a master's degree from there.

Then I will use this opportunity, if I haven’t done so before, to segue into a shameless plug Medved style. The following quote from the Los Angeles times appears on page 139 in my book about the origins of the football rivalry between the Trojans and the Irish. Hopefully Jim Robinson won’t mind!

“Thanksgiving Day was spent rolling through Kansas. The scenery was described as “nothing to rave about,” but since most of the players had never been east of Arizona, they found plenty to look at anyway, even if was “only a bunch of farm houses which are deserted because their owners have pulled up and left for California.”
