I don't want to make the high school experience sound worse than it was. In fact, our high school did feature a few people who went on to do bigger and better things. For example, I write a blog.
But while stories of Turkish Professional Basketball players, gold medalists, and Daytona 500 winners might sound impressive, they're not good fodder for what I do over here at the Drawing Board.

Our high school football team won exactly one game in four years. One. Something like 24 of us rushed the field, but when we got down there, it was pretty muddy so we all went home. Here's what you need to know.
- The biggest guy on the team had a fake leg.
- The previously mentioned guy was also our kicker.
- To recap, the kicker was the biggest guy on our team. The kicker had a fake leg.
- We once gave up 64 points in the first half of a game, failing to record a tackle in that half.
- For two years straight, we were ranked as the worst team in the state.

Your high school is definantly sadder than mine. Usually we get picked on for going to such a lame school, but you win! Go Team!
Umm... our high school experiences were so very, very different.
Yes, Dan. As you may have guessed, your school was the one that put the 64-0 first half thrashing on us.
And I know you wound up with a gold medalist of your own, but how many NASCAR drivers? Ha!
