Wikipedia in LA Times sports section

Lots of people are still debating the accuracy of Wikipedia, but it sure seems to be mentioned more and more. In today's LA Times, Chris Dufrense has a profile of Cal lineman Erick Robertson. The article emphasizes that Robertson is scary to other people, but he's really a nice guy.

He is Cal's "Illustrated (Line) Man," a heavy dude who is into heavy music. His favorite band is Killswitch Engage, described by Wikipedia as being influenced by the "melodic death metal" scene. Robertson plays bass guitar, as if anyone was going to stop him.

Robertson has Killswitch lyrics etched on his tattoo-saturated left arm: "When darkness falls we are reborn."



What will he do with that tattoo when he inevitably changes his musical taste to smooth jazz when he gets older?
