Rookie of the year at 20. Cy Young award at the age of 21. 100 wins by 25. The biggest question early on was not whether he would win 300 games, but if he could reach 400. He outdueled Nolan Ryan to lead the Mets to their first World Series victory in 15 years. Countless scouts called Gooden the best pitching prospect in the past 50 years. With a rising fastball in the high 90's and a Koufax-like curve, Doctor K had it all. What transpired in the next 10 years is one of the most tragic sports stories, for his bout with substance abuse ruined the career of potentially the greatest pitcher since WWII. Oh, what could have been....

A state-supported university in the United States whose name includes a compass direction, e.g. "North state name State University." Many directional universities started out as teachers' colleges, broadening their educational missions in the 1950's or 1960's. In most instances a directional university has easier admissions standards than its state's flagship university ("The University of state name") and serves a greater proportion of commuter/part-time/older students.
California does not have directional universities. As an equivalent, it has universities with the word "State" in their names.

Horrible band. Almost as bad as Simple PLan. They whine and whine like little girls and they have a 4 year old's voice.. They are a fucking discrace to rock music. How can man create such a pain to the ears. There a band only posing punks would like and have no musical talent. They have a shitty vocalist with a talentless guitarist and drummer. If you seriously like them, you are either tone deaf or musically challenged and need serious help, or your just trying to fit in with the "punks" at school but are normally a stuck up prep.
person: OMG I LOVE FALL OUT BOY THEY ARE SO AWESOME TOTALLY!!11!
me: no get a life you tone-deaf shit..AC/DC is awesome, Led Zeppelin is awesome, Guns'N'Roses is awesome, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Ramones, The Band, Metallica, Nirvana, Sublime, Iron Maiden, they are fucking awesome.
