A Puzzling Puzzle

I love all of Merl Reagle’s crossword puzzles, including “The Short Form” in the May 2 issue. But if Reagle was going to graduate Troy Aikman from any other school than UCLA, I wish he’d chosen the University of Michigan.

Editor’s note: Chalk it up to wishful thinking? Or was it Troy’s name that led puzzle writer Merl Reagle to mistakenly (and to the horror of UCLA fans) credit cross-town rival USC and its Trojans as the alma mater of the Dallas Cowboys superstar? We do know Reagle is feeling mighty blue about the whole thing.
