Cubs' course offered at DePaul...

This is truly awesome. Deal is, it's an actual four-credit, freshman-only class meant to socialize incoming freshman with Chicago. The 25 seats were full an hour after class registration began. Here's the synoposis,

"This course will look at the history of the Cubs, from Cap Anson to Carlos Zambrano, stopping along the way on names like Hack Wilson, Ernie Banks, and Ryne Sandberg. We will also learn more about Wrigley Field and the neighborhood around it, will hear from speakers with ties to the team, and will attend a game against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. Being a fan of the Cubs is not a requirement for this course, but you should have an interest in baseball. (And having empathy for long-suffering Cubs fans wouldn't hurt either.) So put on your caps, bring along your lucky talismans, and "knock on wood" we'll find out if the 100th year really is, at last, THE year."

Wish I was back at school.
