Good To Know: The Annual Mindset List

Reporting
Don Shelby
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ― In Good to Know, Don will attempt to talk about something else other than a certain quarterback.

I think tonight's Good to Know, without reference to a certain quarterback, is about feeling old.

Beloit College has come out with its annual mindset list. It measures things that happened before the incoming college freshmen this year were born. For instance, incoming freshman have never lived in a world without the cartoon network, the internet, flat screen TVs or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

When the graduating class of 2013 was born, Michael Landon of Little House on the Prairie and Bonanza was already dead, so was Dr. Seuss and the KGB never existed in their lifetime.

As far as they're concerned, the U.S. has always been in Iraq. Desert Storm started the year most of them were born.

Freddy Mercury died before they came into this world. And, a certain football quarterback, as far as they know, has always been in the NFL. (Mumble) Brett Favre.
