Where is the SAMP? Oh! The practice squad (Weegie)
Apparently a late edition to the practice squad, which reinforces the notion that Mr. Gibson got on with his life's work, we have something called Chris Samp, which comes from Winona State.
This rather surprised me as I was convinced samp was some kind of root crop. Which admittedly could come from Winona State's Ag department, were it not for the fact that they don't have an Ag department. I then did some research and found I was confusing it with ramp, Appalachia's contribution to high fashion cuisine, but samp, which my Food Lover's Companion lists as "Broken or coarsely ground hominy", is pretty close to the original joke.
I propose we all welcome him into the Steelers nation by having a bowl of grits while wearing a Free Winona T-Shirt. Or don't.
