But are you in the right headspace<\/a> to receive information that could possibly hurt you? Jim Jordan is a UW alum! I just learned this. And Jordan was not merely some dude who happened to go to the school, either. He was one of the greatest wrestlers ever to don a cardinal and white singlet.<\/span>\n
