A Viral Obsession With A Stranger’s Decision

Patrick Patterson, the 6’8″, 210 pound, 5-star power forward considering UVa, Florida, Kentucky, D*ke, Wake Forest, and West Virginia, trimmed his list this week to a top three that did not include the Hoos. And despite my promise to the contrary so many years ago when another young man spurned the Hoos, another season of obsessing about a stranger’s choice about where he’ll be taking CHEM 101 and ogling tiny skirts broke like a virus-induced fever.
