An "oops" from NBC's Ann Curry

Curry forgets to fact check her graduation address

We're pretty sure that the "Today" show fact-checks its news stories. The NBC morning show's news anchor, Ann Curry, could've used a little help in that department over the weekend.

Curry delivered a commencement address at Wheaton College in Massachussetts over the weekend, and she listed some of the school's famous alumni: Billy Graham, "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, film director Wes Craven and Todd Beamer, one of the heroes of United Flight 93 on 9/11. Standard graduation stuff, right?

Yeah, there was just one problem: Except for Stahl, all those people graduated from a different Wheaton College. In Illinois.

To her credit, Curry quickly apologized to the Massachussetts Wheaton in a letter.

Perhaps she could get the "Wolf Blitzer" award :lol:

Ahh graduation speech fugups.

At one of my graduations, Senator Dale Bumpers was the speaker. While he didn't confuse my school with another (he was way too busy ranting about politics and his fabulous life), he sounded like a confused, senile old man. A few of the more conservative students actually walked out.

Well, one's a evangelical school and one's a typical liberal arts school so there's a decent sized gap, but it's not the first time someone showed up to collect a paycheck at one of these things.

We just took hits off of pipes being passed around and slugs of whiskey during our commencement so if it were anything like C of C, I doubt anyone but the parents noticed.

      Carolina Way is gone, it went out the window with the Belichick hiring. They'll hire the best coach they can, ignoring everything else if possible.    Athletic reports that the school's top two targets are Tommy Lloyd and Billy Donovan. They don't care the buyout for a coach either, they and the boosters are willing to spend and will be going outside of the coaching family tree 100%.

      I don't think it's a homer though when I really feel this team can beat anyone.  The points that can be scored in bunches when the big three are on has high potential.  Moose has effort for days and IMO is the heart of the team.  And didn't see Miles becoming the team "vet" in the starting lineup just roleplaying lol.   We have to limit the turnovers though (Brandon Miller I'm looking at you bud, you are a bad ball handler) and some little things.   Colby off the bench is a cheat code and him and Kaulk have a nice little game going with the picks.    Sion playing every game and just getting better each game.  He has grit.  Grant and Green also grit.  We need replace Tillman with PJ Hall though.  Tillman looks like someone that shouldn't be on an NBA court, or at least with this team, he's just too slow for this tempo.   Even McNeely looked decent tonight and can drive.   If Kaulk and Moose could even be like 30% 3pt shooters man....
