Rod Carey impresses in Wrigley debut
As is customary 'round these parts, we present to you a college football coach singing at Wrigley Field. Today's victim: Rod Carey of Northern Illinois, who made the traditional pilgrimage for area coaches to last night's Cubs baseball match (that's what they're called, right?) against the Rockies.

Third -- and as a #MACtion man, Carey shouldn't surprise here -- he never resorts to screaming, presumably because of something baseball writers would call "a little thing called heart." Go
