Well ... a lot, depending on the name.
For instance, hear about Ball State's newest golf recruit?
His name is Happy Gilmore.
Seriously. What, you think I could make that up?
I couldn't. Ball State's newest golf recruit really is named Happy Gilmore, although Happy's just his nickname. His legit handle is Landon, and he's a senior golfer at Bloomington South High School. According to his website, he's gone by "Happy" since he was 9 years old and someone called him that after he won a long drive competition.
The kid took it and ran with it.
It's had its rewards, certainly. What other high school recruit headed to Ball State gets social media shoutouts from both Adam Sandler (who played the title role in the film) and the Twitter page for Shooter McGavin (Happy's rival, played by Christopher McDonald)?
Here's wishing him luck in Muncie. And no fistfights with Bob Barker, OK?
