When Donn Clendenon was a freshman in college (and he graduated from high school at 15, so he was a truly fresh freshman), who served as his big brother?

Cunty went to Grambling.

Wow! Okay, I cheated and googled the answer. I must say people could be guessing at this one for a long time. Pretty interesting trivia.

AG/DC May 23 2008 08:59 PM

Told you!

Valadius May 23 2008 09:12 PM

Hell, I don't know. Was MLK still there at that time?

AG/DC May 23 2008 09:16 PM

Answers, not questions.

Valadius May 23 2008 09:22 PM

Fine then. Was it Martin Luther King, Jr.?

Rockin' Doc May 23 2008 09:24 PM

that's still a question.

AG/DC May 23 2008 09:29 PM

Kids. Yes, Martin Luther King, Jr. was the man. He had already graduated, but requested the honor as Clendenon was a family friend and so young. Clendenon had a remarkable life.

Vlad, how the hell did you know that? Curiosity got the best of me, so I cheated and looked it up. I truthfully, didn't think anyone would know that one.

Valadius May 24 2008 07:51 AM
