    If it's Cameron Bluish, he's a lock. "Reddish?" Not so much.

    It was all part of our master plan. We named Giles for Harry Giles, the Allen Building for Grayson, and Trent Hall (I think I'm dating myself with that one) for Gary Trent. Cameron is for Cameron Reddish. We can easily change Bassett to Barrett. And I'm sure somewhere in America there is a future star basketball player whose last name is "Social Sciences"

    We used to have a Trustee named Charles Wade. Does that count?

    Didn't work too well for Mike Chapel either. Or was that Duke Chappell?

    For you movie buffs, it might have been Ambrose Chapel.

    It used to be you couldn't keep track of the OADs because they come and go so quickly.
    Now it's tough to even figure out what class they're in.
    That has also been difficult at Carolina where students didn't have to attend class.




    Not sure if didn't is necessarily correct since the athletic institution doesn't seem to be concerned about what happened and doesn't figure it did anything wrong.

    Maybe that's because his name is actually Dwyane Wade.

    Wasn't it because there was a man who knew too much, unlike another movie where the man knew too little.

    How did we get from The Man Who Knew Too Much (Ambrose Chapel) to the Tall Blond Man with One Back Shoe (Pierre Richard ... Tom Hanks played in the American remake as The Man With One Red Shoe)?

    The original The Man Who Knew Too Much was a detective named Horne Fisher, a character in a 1922 collection of short stories by C.K. Chesterton.

    Hitchcock appropriated the title, but not the story or the character for his 1934 film -- which starred Leslie Banks as The Man Who Knew Too Much. When he re-made the move in 1954, Jimmy Stewart played the title role.

    As for The Man Who Knew Too Little, that would be Bill Murray, who played a character named Wallace Ritchie in the 1997 film, The Man Who Knew Too Little.

    BTW: That film is one of my guilty pleasures, even though Roger Ebert gave it just one star.

    That is such a silly/idiotic movie. I've watched it more than twice.

    Close one here.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Yup, Scientific Mapp is Majestic Mapp's brother.
