The Fighting Nimrods

[anwserman]

The Nimrod is the mascot of a school about an hour away from where I live. They're a basketball team, too. Their town is called Watersmeet, and it consists of a gas station, casino and a grocery store.

They've been on ESPN, in spots regarding sports in the northwoods from what I've heard, and are now going to be on Jay Leno's show on the 15th.

I'm kinda surprised, but yes. A tiny northwoods basketball team gets to go to California, paid by NBC. They're going to see all the attractions over there and stuff.

I'm not jealous, just surprised. I hope those guys enjoy every moment they have in California! No snow... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Anyway, I can post the latest newspaper article about them on this site. I'll scan it in if anybody is interested.

Look at the guests for March 15.

W00T! Kevin Smith is gonna be on! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

How did they get noticed anyway? Seems kinda weird that some small town team appears on ESPN and then is flown to Cali and shows up on Leno.

Going to have fun here? It was 95 degrees yesterday! ARRRGGGG! It went from pouring rain and being cloudy and cool for two weeks to the tar in the asphalt melting and frying young children! Cloudy to burning death in one day.

Can you ship me some of that snow? It would feel pretty good about now...
