Wow, most people usually take the "did you major in dentistry?" angle. I like the DeVry University strategy! LOL! In reality, I grew up in Oregon and Colgate--located in Central NY--was the school closest to LO that would accept me.
HCP, this is what I'm talkin' 'bout! I'd love it if it weren't true, but the Colgate family for whom the university was renamed (it was Madison University and before that the Baptist Educational Society for the State of New York), was the family that started Colgate-Palmolive. No dentistry program was available, however.
4 varsity letters in baseball, 2 in basketball, 2 in soccer. That's high school. I played intramural basketball at Illinois and intended to walk on for the baseball team but tore my rotator cuff and couldn't throw a baseball for several years after that.
Torn rotator cuff? Egads..you're lucky if you could even raise your hand for the first year w/o significant pain.
Heh. I brushed my teeth and my hair with my left hand for a good part of a year. The inflamation went down over the summer and I thought I might be over it, but it came back the first few minutes throwing a ball around once I got to college. It was in the days before they even knew about torn rotator cuffs. The doctor told me it was bursitis. Then a couple of major leaguers got it a few years later and the surgery was brutal and the rehab not guaranteed. It wasn't until several years later when I started playing softball and the pain returned that I went to SOAR (Sports Orthapedics and Rehabilitation Clinic) near SF and got an MRI. The told me they could shave off some of the bone with an arthroscope and I'd have several months of rehab. It wasn't worth it, so I played pitcher or first base and generally threw like a girl. SOAR was the doctors who took care of the 49ers in those days.
Played baseball and wrestled throughout high school. No college though, shitty grades. I'd rather party then study back then.
I lettered in 5 sports in HS (cross country, basketball, baseball, track and golf) and played a couple years of small college basketball. I also played a year of USVBA volleyball. BNM
