Appalachian State, about 90 miles from my house, repeated as Division 1-AA (or whatever they’re calling it these days) football champs last Friday so people around here are fairly well a-buzz about it.  Now I’ve found another reason that the Mountaineers should be proud: Stephen Dubner of Freakonomics fame was an undergrad there.  A commenter on Dubner’s post linked to the App State Hot, Hot, Hot video on Youtube, something for which they might not be so proud.

A couple of my cousins are App grads and in my book they’re even more esteemed than Dubner (what up Wendy and Jody).  I’ll have to ask them how they feel about Hot, Hot, Hot.
