Title: Now THIS is an entertaining read.....

It's this blog about this guy back when he was a freshman rooming with a student athlete.  The author won't mention names, but the roommate was 7'1" Mat Ten Dam who played for Purdue and the "future all-star" was Glenn Robinson.  Very long, but full of great stories.....

Read Part 13 on FFFs recommendation. Very good read....brought back memories from high school. Not sure if i want to start at the beginning and read all of them though.

Just finished actually reading through all of the parts.  Doesn't look like it's done yet.  It kind of feels like Joe Dirt telling his story to Dennis Miller, but in a college freshman nerd coming of age kind of way.  If you have some time to kill, I recommend starting from the beginning and reading.  The tales about the b-ball player makes you wonder how much it's like that for other college athletes....probably quite a bit like it.
