Curious fact of the day ...

Jacksonville (FL) Florida Times-Union wrote:Fisher went to Clemson to play baseball but got homesick and returned after the first semester.

They met at a Liberty University basketball game and soon after, Fisher transferred there to play quarterback for Bowden.

I would say that if you want to be quiet, have a conversation and be alone, a LU basketball game might be a place to begin.

Sly, I wonder if that Florida journalist has his geography wrong: I'm guessing the college was actually West Liberty University in West Virginia, which is in the same athletic conference as Salem College.

Maybe now, but not then!

BTW, I think Cider has this pegged. West Liberty makes a lot more sense considering the scenario presented.
