Does anyone know the song Stevie Shoot A 3 Pointer song from 96STO radio in Evansville, IN in the 80’s?

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Nikki asked:

You would probably have to be from Indiana to remember this one but, back in the 80’s. Probably ‘87 or so 90WSTO in Evansville, IN(now Hot 96) used to play a song that was to the tune of The Boxtops The Letter expect instead of saying My baby just wrote me a letter… The words went Stevie shoot a 3 pointer… Of course it was in reference to Steve Alford who was IU’s golden boy at the time. Everything was all about Steve Alford. Heck, I had a Stevie Shoot A 3 Pointer T-shirt. Anyways, hubby thinks I’m nuts(he’s too young to remember anyways lol) but I know I remember this song and I was wondering if anyone else does too and if anyone knows where I can find this. Thanks!

spunky_monkey1505 asked:

I have 4 universities that I’m planning on applying to(University of South Carolina, University of Evansville, Florida State, and University of Central Florida). But I’m not sure if I should apply to Emory. It was orignally my dream school, but now I’ve lost interest in it. But I’m always paranoid about not getting into any of the other schools. Should I still apply?

Isn’t the major problem in our world the abuse of authority?

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Great Legislator asked:

From the High and Mighty that think they are too important to talk to regular
citizens. To an over-worked mail-reader that throws our concerns in the trash?
And citizens are left in a bind and out on the street over these things? Don’t you think
we need to confront this type of abuse? If you don’t, you will when you are injured by it!
