Boise State
I, for one, am glad that Boise State beat VT last night. The win legitimizes their ranking and maybe they’ll get some more respect now.

Datum Data
Enter the odd background music. The camera pans into a dark room. The figure of someone pondering a useless self-made conundrum lies still in the B&W setting. Enter the mind (through the ear of course).
