Long, long ago, I walked into one of my morning classes at my high school when a nerdy classmate runs up to me and says, "Have you heard?!?" After deciding against head-butting him to quickly end the conversation, I played the part of nice guy and replied by muttering "What?" He screamed, "Zack Morris is dead! Zack Morris is dead!!"

I was shocked! The first thought that ran through my head was "First Tupac, then Biggie, now Mark-Paul Gosselaar!?!?!" The second thought that ran through my head was "Damn this guy's breath smells like a butthole..."

Shortly, thereafter, we were all mildly happy to hear that the "rumor" wasn't true. As soon as the Saved By The Bell college spin-off aired, it was confirmed. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst shows ever written, and its not like they had a lot to live up to. A couple of things that always cross my mind when I think of that show:

1.) Who's stupid idea was it to hire formed NFL lineman, Bob Golic? Bob Golic? I still don't know what he allegedly brought to the table. What past-sins was the guy trying to atone for by playing a 40yr old RA?

2.) At what point were they going to do the, Saved by the Bell: College Years goes to Vegas? I mean no one ever even mentioned the fact that Jessie Spano went on to become a stripper at the Crazy Horse Too after high school and then emerged as one of the city's hottest showgirls.

3.) At what point does the costume designer tell Mario Lopez that it's time to loose the jericurl? Im really serious about this...
