This seems like the appropriate day in history to share my Cubs story.
In college, I had a Mathematics Professor who has studied at the University of Chicago. The way this professor ran his class was a little different. Instead of straight lecture, it was class participation. But instead of that being a positive interactive experience, he would call on random people to answer questions and ask THEM to explain (often difficult) stuff. And when someone inevitably didn?t know an answer, he would start insulting, berating, and belittling them, calling them ?stupid?, and worse. I seem to remember tears were actually shed in the classroom.
After a half semester of this abuse, a group of students decided to get revenge. They concocted a plan and proceeded to inform everyone in the class about it in advance, and the plan was met with unanimous approval. One day, prior to class, several students entered the classroom early, and in very large letters wrote on the back blackboard (remember those?) that was in the line of vision of the professor? ?CUBS SUCK?.
Time may make the story grow sweeter, but I actually seem to remember them using some sort of writing source that wasn?t easily erased, and the message remained there for a couple of weeks.
And how did it affect Dr. Chicago? The abuse stopped immediately.
GO INDIANS, CUBS STILL SUCK
