        Mr J.  You seem to have forgotten the classic receptions given to the
        Puke Blue Devils at Cole recently.  Centerfolds for foul shooters.
        Mostly Playboy.  Laettner, if I remember correctly got pictures from
        Playgirl, I did not sit in this section, but I'm told that Christian
        'All I live for is Duke Basketball and Brian Davis' Laettner enjoyed
        the Display.  And, although this does not quiet fit the topic, the
        yearly LEHIGH lafayette riot, I mean football game, is later today,
        watch for us on ESPN and America's Most Wanted.
