A Sea Of Red

Thanks to @rashadjennings for turning me onto this video of a kid from Illinois College, a DIII in tiny Jacksonville, IL (a town whose claim to fame was producing one of the greatest Heavyweight boxers of all time, Ken Norton) trying to get into the NCAA Dunk Contest ...

Rashad pointing out how cool it was to see someone blowing up stereotypes. Well said. Having driven through the dinky Jacksonville a slew of times, I am just blown away that anything would ever be worth noting from that little burg.

2 observations:

1. That guy is unreal. Stop it right at 1:42 and you get an idea of what a 50 inch vertical looks like.

2. The chickens and the chuckies wish they had a gym that big.
