I don't know who most of these people are.  Was this all MSU vs. U-M?  Who won, overall?  And, if you're feeling generous, which side won each individual match?

On Tuesday, the second annual Michigan and Michigan State AD Challenge took place at the U-M Golf Course in Ann Arbor. Though MSU athletic director Mark Hollis and the Spartans beat Dave Brandon and the U-M staff in the tournament, it was a special day planned for the two rivals to spend some time together, what Hollis said represented "all that's good about college sports."



The tournament featured nine head-to-head matches. The lineup had athletic directors, golf coaches, radio announcers, faculty members and former student-athletes.

If I were that desperate for attention, I would probably come up with a more creative name than "Keith" for one of my egos.  Or maybe that's just what I want you to think...

I just realized that the first question I posed to the board was easily solved with a google search, and I thought people might find it somewhat humorous if I responded to myself in such a manner.

And a big upvote to you for the proper usage of "dissociative identity disorder". 

As a very brief public service announcement to potentially interested individuals, schizophrenia does NOT equal what was formerly called "split personality disorder" and is now called "dissociative identity disorder".  Consider looking up "schizophrenia" before using it as the butt of your jokes.

I'll probably continue using schizophrenia as it rolls off the tongue a little better and I feel that I need to constantly dumb my jokes down for a mass audience to achieve maximum laughter from my peers.

I know this is a little jab at Brandon for publicizing too much mundane crap, but there have been some interesting diaries posted the last couple of days and this one bumps them down.

I have no ill will toward Six Zero, but I think if any diary can get blamed for "bumping interesting diaries down", it would have to be the weekly (or twice-weekly?) posting of a Michigan-related comic.
