As always, happy Friday! ----- Question: A man is watching television when there is a knock at his door. The man at the door seems to know a lot about the television program he's watching, what channel it's on, and can tell him how he can see it even more clearly than he already does. Then he mentions Tennessee's 2010 Elite Eight run. Who is this man and how does he know all of this? ˙ɹɐɟ os ןıɹdɐ ɹoɟ ןןǝʍ ʎɹǝʌ buıop s,ǝɥ ˙sǝןnpǝɥɔs ǝɥ uoıʇɐןןɐʇsuı ʍǝu ʎɹǝʌǝ ɹoɟ uoıssıɯɯoɔ ɐ sʇǝb ǝɥ puɐ 'sʇısıʌ ɹoop-oʇ-ɹoop oʇ sǝןɐs ɹǝʇuǝɔ ןןɐɔ ɯoɹɟ ɯıɥ pǝʇoɯoɹd ʎןʇuɐʇsuı ǝɔuǝıɹǝdxǝ snoıʌǝɹd sıɥ ˙ʞɹoʍʇǝu ɥsıp ǝɥʇ ɹoɟ buıʞɹoʍ sı ǝɥ puɐ 'ןɹɐǝd ǝɔnɹq sı uɐɯ ǝɥʇ :ɹǝʍsuɐ ---- Question: During a campus visit, a young recruit shakes hands with a college coach.
