Good point. Know why the BSU cafeteria doesn't have ice? The only guy who knew the recipe graduated. Carl Westberg Jr.

That's quite a stretch, Carl, to assume that bSU students would actually be able to read and comprehend those instructions. The idea with rivalry week is to slam the bSU types not compliment them.

How do you keep a BSU student busy? Write "please turn over" on both sides of a piece of paper. Hey, it's rivalry week. Carl Westberg Jr.
