Hold on one second

Look: I do not aim to make light of the sexual assault accusations against Ben Roethlisberger. But something in the story caught my eye:

A 20-year-old student in the college town of Milledgeville, Ga., told a police officer that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her.

Hold on one second: Milledgeville? How is this the first time I’ve heard of this town? What a shame it should come up in these circumstances.

  1. Milledgeville, GA was the hometown of one of America’s best short story writers, Flannery O’Connor, if you care to know.

  2. Lol I live about 15-20 minutes south of Milledgeville and the only time I ever hear about it is for craziness like this too. It’s famous for having a bunch of meh colleges and for being the former home of the biggest Insane Asylum in the south I believe.

    • Wow, have you ever been there? Can you be our reporter on the scene? Not about the Big Ben stuff, but on the fact that there’s a town called Milledgeville. Do they know about Blastings there? Does everyone wear awesome argyle sweaters?
