Between songs this evening, a disc jockey and a caller had the following conversation on 94.7 WQDR.
DJ: “I’m just finishing up my bracket. Hey, Mallory, who you got in Missouri-Cornell?
Caller: Missouri.
DJ: Why’s that? Any reason?
Caller: I never heard of Cornell.
DJ: Yeah, me neither. Plus they sound like a breakfast cereal. Can’t root for a team like that.
Duke claims to be the “Harvard of the south,” but Cornell is undoubtedly the Honey Nut Cheerios of the north.
