My sister bought me the Grantland Quarterly, a collection of the best of the stories at Grantland.com, for Christmas. One of the stories was an updated version of Bill Simmons' review of the movie Hoosiers (one of the movies which we watched as a family) on the occasion of his "250th viewing". For anybody who enjoys the movie, it is well worth the read.
It immediately reminded me that a couple of folks I know actually claim to have never watched the movie. Even worse, they went to a school which is nearly as small as Hickory High, but more deeply inbred. How such people could proudly declare their ignorance of an American cultural touchstone, I'll never understand.
