Marquette Players:
1) Bo Ellis
2) Dwyane Wade

That list HAS to include Blanton's!

 

Same here, PC. That is a brutal drive, but from everything I've heard, I-10 between El Passout and San Antone is the hands-down winner for worst drive.

The most beautiful drive is Highway 1 between Morro Bay and Monterey. Period.

I was at a late-season Angel game against the Blue Jays. The guy behind me couldn't figure out why they played "O Canada" until he decided that one of the teams must have had a Canadian player. I'm not making this up.

In college, I was living in Evansville and my wife-to-be was living in Terrible Haute.

Whatever torture methods the U.S. Army is employing is nowhere near as cruel as one that could make every single terrorist on the planet spill his guts: Just drive them back and forth from Evansville to Terre Haute on U.S. 41.

There's little else but country music on the radio and little more than cows for scenery.

And the cops STRICTLY enforce the 55 mph speed limit.

Assholes.

 

The 60 miles between Tupelo and Oxford, Miss. I drive half of it every FUCKING day.
