Column: Be afraid

By Ian Gold

I was walking home from the bars the other night and saw a relatively typical scene: a few tiny and weak guys starting to get into a fight. I laughed it off and did my usual if only’s. I usually make my predictions of how and why people like that choose to mouth off, they sure wouldn’t talk trash like Illini basketball’s own C-Boogie – Chester Frazier.

And you know why? Chuck Norris wouldn’t even mess with C-Boogie.
