By now, most of the world wonders about the educational system of South Carolina. From the times of my childhood when I could comprehend the news, I knew that South Carolina was near the bottom in states for the rankings of education. Then, a few weeks ago, this clip
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww&mode=related&search=). As my friend Khorey pointed out...how do you get from a geography question to Iraq and South Africa? Who knows. Anyway, Caitlin had the chance for redemption on the Today show.
And the rest of the story can be told in the words of Pat Forde:
"First came word via "The Today Show" of a recruiting coup for the little school in the North Carolina mountains. Caitlin Upton, the freshly famous Miss Teen South Carolina, whose dingbat answer to a beauty pageant question became an instant YouTube classic, told Matt Lauer she planned to attend Appalachian State. This might not have dazzled the academic folks on campus, but I guarantee the male students are stoked.
Including the football team, perhaps? Maybe Miss Upton's commitment was the final motivation for the Mountaineers to defrock college football's winningest program in America's largest stadium.
Remember the score: App. State 34, Michigan 32. "
