There was plenty of talk about The Clash on Friday afternoon, but it certainly wasn't concerning the late, great Joe Strummer and it also wasn't about the neighboring rivalry between the wrestling programs at Sandburg and Stagg.

Folks, the polling system is far from perfect, but I can assure you no donations were made to affect the outcome. We ask people to be on the honor system until we can get a better polling widget in place, and only vote once.   more ›
