I need to know more about how Normal became Normal, and how there can be a Cape on a river.

The normal website for the town of Normal, Illinois says it took its name from the Normal College which was a local normal college. (Perhaps, a vet school or an engineering college were not considered normal.) At some point Normal College became Illinois State. If we play them in football, let's plow them under in our normal way.

A cape can be on a river if we define cape to be ".. a high point of land that extends into a river, lake, or ocean." education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/cape/ (Note: no exclamation point and no s in "national geographic".)A cape can also be on a river if a type of jacket is floating downstream.....

I was wondering if Meyer or Connors would win Best Defensive. Great idea to give it to both.
