re: #70 Targetpractice

Much like brouhaha about the National Anthem before sporting events, the “traditional” Superb Owl interview is something that started with Dubya that has carried forward because Obama and Trump (with the exception of 2018) thought it was good politics to answer a few light questions before the game. IOW, it’s yet another “tradition” that isn’t even old enough to drink (Dubya did first interview in 2004).

Still, it’s great exposure to millions of people who don’t follow politics closely. What’s the downside to doing it?
