At about 4:30 PM yesterday, I was listening to 1050 radio. Sorry for the lack of details, but I do not know who the host nor the guest were. But they were talking about a Fordham guy driving up to Holy Cross for a basketball game. This Fordham guy apparently couldn't find it because he didn't realize that "Worcester” is pronounced Wuhs-Ster, so he missed all of the signs. The guest laughingly concluded, "that is a fordham education for you." Then he and the host had a few chuckles about it. Maybe I missed the context, but seemed like a low blow to me. Did anyone else catch this? -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

a little hypersensitive are you? (NT) -- bulldog, Tue March 22, 2005 11:13:24
I heard it and thought it was humorous. Michael Kay, one of our own, was recounting the story about one of the WFUV student announcers missing the exit since he did not know how to spell Worcester. (NT) -- Jimbo65, Tue March 22, 2005 11:37:24
- No. I am not hyper-sensitive at all. Like I said in the post, maybe I missed the context. And apparently I did. (NT) -- d. atkins'02, Tue March 22, 2005 12:17:44
  - Perhaps the answer is that someone with a Fordham education is expected to be heading for the big time, not for Worcester. (NT) -- John, Tue March 22, 2005 12:48:51
