This is a friendly reminder from your local It's Academic fanatic that tomorrow is the final round! Featuring Montgomery Blair vs. Holton Arms vs. Eubie Blake Taping at 10:15 AM at NBC Studios, 4001 Nebraska Ave NW DC, followed by Super Bowl. This is the first time in quite a while we've come this far, so be sure to pull yourself out of bed and cheer us on!
Props to Raconteur for mentioning McAuliffe in his post. I'll take a leaf from Schafer's book and drop an It's Academic fact of the day: McAuliffe is the general famous for replying with a single word to a demand for surrender from the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge during WWII. The word? Historians insist he sent back the word "Nuts" but others contend that it was, in fact, a much different four letter word not fit for publication in this blog.

Actually if you look at Raconteur's previous posts, the four letter word may very well be acceptable.
