Excerpt:

4. Ohio University. The school’s spring celebrations, known as Fests, are so popular they have their own Twitter handle (@FestsOfAthens). There’s Mill Fest and Palmer Street Fest and High Fest and #Fest (that’s number, not hashtag). There’s also a Halloween block party that dates back into the mid-1970s and includes live bands, plus Court Street, which includes 20-plus bars. The folks of Athens, Ohio, have this fun thing down.

Basketball grade: C-plus. The Bobcats are a lot like their campus -- sort of an under-the-radar gem. They haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since their 2012 Sweet 16 run (and near upset of top-seeded North Carolina) but with one good coach begetting the next (Saul Phillips is the latest) they have the potential to gear up for another Cinderella season at any time.

No doubt that this is a great piece for Saul & Co. to use. It goes to show why he said he can recruit to Ohio. I'm now anxious to see what the fruits of that recruiting looks like on the hardwood!

In the wrap-up to Dan Patrick's radio show this morning, the 'what did I learn today' that Patrick asks of his mates was something about the greatest party ever being one Halloween at 'Ohio U.' Apparently, there was some description of such event earlier in his show today (though I did not hear it).
