Dr. Wolf's Warnings to High School Graduates Considering Indiana State University

To all promising high school graduates, be forwarned. Here are my top 10 reasons why you should not attend Indiana State University.

  1. Larry Bird doesn't even go back there!
  2. There is an unbearable stench coming from all directions because of the sulfur plant to the north, the paper mill to the south, sewage plant to the west, and the football field to the east.
  3. ISU football team lost more games last year than the Duquesne Football team has lost in the past 4 years.
  4. If Tunch would put on a skirt he would be top 5 best looking females at the school
  5. Nicknamed the Sycamores because of the high number of Sycamore trees in the area, which is great except they made their mascot a fox
  6. Saturday night favorites include trips to Wal-Mart, and Corning
  7. Most people are Indianapolis Colts' fans, which is just pathetic
  8. When asked what the initials I.S.U. stand for, the majority of the students will say "I Screwed Up"
  9. The cafeteria staff proudly wear their ISU Alumni hats while they are working...
  10. Read above - do you really need any more reasons?

Big Ben

Well, the topic on everyone's mind and subject of many prayer's is Big Ben's accident, surgery and recovery.

How about the fans that drove to Mercy hospital to keep a vigil and wait for word on Big Ben?

What are your thoughts, opinions and comments?

A state law says car requires drivers have to wear a seat belt, should bike operators have to wear a helmet?

Big Ben will be a big subject to discuss in the days, weeks and months to come so post away.

Pittsburgh Diabetic Scales Mt. Everest

If you missed last Friday's show, it was a great one. In honor of the kid from Jersey winning the National Spelling Bee Contest, we had one of our own - Wolf crushed me 5-1, then doubled up on the bet at the end of the show and won AGAIN! He ONLY owes me four sushi dinners now!

Well, today's show is going to be a great one too!

At 8:05 we'll be speaking to Will Cross of Morningside, PA who just became the first American with diabetes to reach the top of the world - and the first in the world with diabetes to reach the highest point on each of the 7 continents and trek to the North and South Poles, a multi-year odyssey known as the NovoLog Peaks and Poles Challenge.

Here is a link to a press release about Will's fantastic accomplishment!

Diabetes affects an estimated 754,000 Pennsylvanians and 20.8 million Americans and is one of the fastest growing health conditions in the country. Will Cross wants to prove that when this disease is managed, people living with diabetes can do amazing things. What a hero!

We'll also be talking about the Pirates, the Steelers Rings, visit Wolf's World and talk to our friend Anne Madarasz from the Western PA sports museum at the Heinz History Center who will discuss Roberto Clemente and their great display.

Gotta run!

On today's show we talked to/discussed:
  • NFL Agent Mike Browne and talked about a variety of NFL topics
  • Wolf's World
  • Greg Linelli (host for the Pgh. LIVE Baseball Show on Fox Sports Radio 970) talking Pirates Baseball
  • Mike Prisuta from the Tribune Review
  • "MICKEY!" Our "caddy for the game of life" and who guided us through the thick rough of every day and gave us the final word on whether golf is a sport or not!
  • Finally, MR. FLIXX gave us the score on the world of entertainment

But, the real question for today/tonight is will you tune in to an MLB game (Yankees vs. Tigers or Diamondbacks vs. Braves) an NBA game (Suns vs. Mavericks), the Stanley Cup Playoffs (Sabres vs. Hurricanes) or THE 2006 SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS live on ABC-TV from 8 to 10 p.m. ?
