What are some things you took as fact in your young mind growing up that you look back on and laugh?
• I thought West Point, Nebraska, was where the U.S. Military Academy was.
• I thought Purdue = Peru, as in Peru State. I thought it was funny that we had another big Div. 1 university right here in Nebraska and you never heard much about it.
• I went to one of my dad's city rec league basketball games (I had to be 4 or 5) and asked why that buzzer kept going off. Someone told me that whenever someone else sat in your chair on the bench, the buzzer sounded. My little mind bought it, of course, (adults didn't lie, did they?) and sat there and contemplated how difficult that would be to keep track of.
• Not exactly fitting the theme of the thread, but I remember listening to a Husker football game on the radio in 1984 and wondering, "Who the heck are these guys? What happened to Turner Gill and Mike Rozier?" I didn't quite understand how college sports worked yet.
