Celebrities and Sports Rivalries

BUD:
Were you aware that Dave Chappelle is now living in Yellow Springs, Ohio? That's just a stone's throw up the road from the 'Nati. Maybe he'll be performing at Go Bananas one of these nights and Timmy (always connected to the comedy club circuit) can organize an outing.

Speaking of Yellow Springs, I stumbled across this town and the surrounding area a few years ago when I went hiking in Clifton Gorge and John Bryan State Park (a real nice hike, if you're looking for something to do on a crisp, fall Saturday afternoon, but I digress). This little corner of Ohio is a real melting pot of higher education -- it is home to the three most diverse schools that could coexist within 8 miles of each other. Yellow Springs is home to ultra-liberal Antioch College. Whole lotta vegan restaurants, Birkenstock stores, and "womyn's studies" majors clad in hemp clothing to be found in Yellow Springs. Traditionally-black college Wilberforce is just down the road. Forming the third point on this area's higher education triangle is Cedarville University, a "Christ-Centered, Baptist university." It's always killed me thinking about what the sports rivalries must be like between these three schools. I smell a movie script somewhere in here. Think PCU meets A Different World meets the road trip from Animal House. I bet we could even get Jeremy Piven and Kadeem Hardison to anchor the project.
