Wallace Rulz!!

Skimming the headlines on Savannahnow.com yesterday, I found this gem:

Benedictine LB Wallace Pooling His Options.

The article is about Anthony Wallace, brother to one our own BMBS bloggers, and his conundrum. Anthony was receiving interest from major D1 programs as a junior, before tearing his ACL. To expedite the rehab process, Anthony turned to swimming, a sport he participated in competitively as youngster but abandoned to focus on football. One year later, Anthony is being recruited as one of the top swimmers in the area, in addition to receiving offers to play football at Air Force, Columbia, Harvard, and Yale.

What really makes this article stand out, though, is the accompanying photograph of a bare-chested Wallace fresh out of the pool.




















To get the point across, the editor felt the need to post the picture not once...



















...but twice!

I'm disappointed that it took a day and a half for someone to comment about this. Our blog is getting lazy. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. We need to step it up.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Whoa. Anthony commands much more respect than Tim.

Point taken. Point. Taken.

Not only is he "pooling" his options, but he is also getting back into the "swim" of things. This writer should get the Savannah Morning News award for cuteness.

Matt Phillips: "Point taken. Point taken."
Stephen Watkins(in that smug little voice):"Uh Matt, you can't take your own point."
I think we have learned by this example from Fall '97 in the bus on the way to a freshman football game that you can and should take your own point in an arguement.
