David Foster Wallace, The St. Louis Rams And You
Before we get started, I'd like to say something about David Foster Wallace. David Foster Wallace, Illinois' own, is the best writer I've ever read who I found completely unreadable.

Kiffin And His 'Hang In There' Cat Poster Could Be Gone By Tonight

Four More Years
