Fine, North Texas’ quarterback, had the class from 6:30-9:40 p.m. Monday but still took a break from learning to watch history. Fine said a friend of his had the Monday Night Football match-up between the Washington Redskins and New Orleans Saints streaming on his laptop, as Fine took the occasional peek to keep up with the game.
“I was sitting there kinda paying attention,” Fine said.
Fine didn’t want to miss Saints quarterback Drew Brees surpass Peyton Manning for most passing yards in NFL history, which was projected to happen in the game. Trying not to miss too much of class either, Fine nudged his neighbor and told his friend to give him a heads up when Brees was nearing the mark.
