A humble reference to the popular segment of Encyclopedia Dramatica. Good, old fashioned sophmoric humor, that site.
Anyways, pop quiz. In 2003, who became a star midfielder for the UCLA Bruins after being accepted as a walk-on?
Benny Feilhaber.
How about this: who did the same thing in 1996, becoming a star defender for the US men's national team three years later?
Jimmy Conrad.
And now that Sal Zizzo's over in Germany, I've developed a healthy respect for the soccer program over there at UCLA. Good stuff.
Oh, and by the way, for you Jimmy Conrad fans, which European team did he play for, seven years ago? Answer: Lech Poznan of the Orange Ekstraklasa, Poland's premier division. (I vaguely recall hearing something like that, but it never dawned on me until now. Hm.)
Enjoy.
