So, here is a story I've never told before... not even to Tau Sigma Lambda...

Once upon a time, on a Caribbean airlines flight about 4'ish decades ago... I got on, got my window seat secured, and was good. In a bit, here came this tallish lankish kid, and he was having some overhead storage bin issues. (Trying to wedge this cardboard thingy up in there).

So, I got up and held the bin open for him... could not miss the: "Sharper Image" name on said box...

We got settled down, and he sees my No.24 in the Nation The Sporting News championship ("thanks @Coach God") bling. We get to talkin'... he details to me that he is *the* No.1 recruit in the State of Washington. He is on his way to a Huskie alum's/backer's Costa Rica estate. He goes on to tell me that he was at 'bama that morning... just 'cause he wanted to see it. He says they asked him: "If he liked coffee?" He said he did not. Though to be polite, he decided to say: 'sure'.

So, I asked him where he was gonna go: {sic: to college}?
He tells me he has not decided... as he was waiting to see if WashingtonU or Washington State would give him the bigger Vette?

We talk a decent amount of 'ball... eventually we land... and here rolls out all kind 'bama footballs and the most tricked out Sharper Image coffee maker -that a 'bama Coach slipped under his arm on the way out- that could be had coming loose from the overhead bin...

When I got back home, I bought the Street & Smith's for the upcoming season, and sure enuff, there he Top-3 or so State of Washington was... to his cred, just as he said.

Point being... this business is not shady... it is Entirely Cloudy... at best... at most.

Fu' being one of the very few STRAIGHTEST players, Eye've seen... Frank and Co. were a good deal cleaner than most.

Now... in the N.i.L., pay-offs/play-offs era? Now that all things VeeTee have changed?

Q. What is the only thing I know about genies?
