I’ve debated writing more about this topic at several points during this past year. The destruction of the Pac-12. The astounding Chucky Hepburn transfer to Louisville. But perhaps this, OTE’s traditional Day of Hate, is a fitting vessel, for the hate is flowing and it’s here to stay. But of course I’m not speaking of hate toward the University of Wisconsin or its stellar football program, no, we all know that some things such as those are virtually impossible to dislike. I speak of the death of college athletics as we know it in the name of (stop me if you’ve heard this one before) money.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

But around 1848, the U.S. sold the land to white settlers while Shab-eh-nay and other members of his tribe were visiting family in Kansas. To...
