Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Level-headedness coming from Columbus? Whaaaa?

(via The Wiz)

"On the front of Tuesday's Sports section, The Lantern ran a photo of two firefighters battling a business fire in South Korea with the headline, "It could be worse." No one on the staff, myself included, thought of Sept. 11, nor is this a picture of Sept. 11. This has raised a good question for debate: When we see smoke and firefighters, do our minds automatically assume it is Sept. 11? Isn't the end goal of terrorism for us to continue to live in fear and associate every image with that day? The Lantern would never make light of such a catastrophe. We simply wanted Buckeye fans to know, it could be worse. A football loss isn't the end of the world. Neither is this image."

Actually...

Before I scrolled down and saw the firefighters, I thought it was a picture of a piece of breaded chicken or maybe garlic mashed potatoes or something.  Not that I'm hungry right now or anything.
