-Why do girls at Hip Hop shows wear funny hats?
-Devon the Dude is a really funny guy
-People still wear backpacks to hip hop shows?

-Del is a big nerd
-If you have half as many people on stage as there are people in the crowd, maybe you should think about downsizing

OSU's pistol team maintains a supply of about 30 firearms for the team's 11 members, and all shooters receive an array of free Nike gear, including polo shirts, a jacket and shoes. "We're a good-looking team," says James Sweeney, OSU's pistol coach since 1999. This year, for the first time ever, OSU's rifle and pistol teams received scholarship money to recruit top competitors.
