You can never tell about Cub fans....

I saw Ragib Ishmael and Tim Brown run 90+ yards for opening kickoff returns when they played for Notre Dame -- and I saw them do this more than once each.

But what stands out in my mind was the soccer (football to those Elsewhere) game my college, the previous year's NAIA champs, was forced to play against a truly nothing college. Our goalie sat at the foot of the goalposts throughout all of the first half and half of the second. Then he walked off the field and bought some hot coffee, which he took back with him. At that point the ONLY time in the entire game the action moved to our half of the field. Our goalie carefully put down his coffee, blocked the only shot that came our way (getting it our possession), sat back down and continued drinking coffee and watching the game. (We won; I forget the score but it was something to 0).
