That was almost a decade ago.
But I clearly misunderstood Todd's post. I thought he meant *currently* charting

Sorry, I didn't realize you meant they have charted. I took it to mean *currently* has a charting hit.

But Hailee Steinfeld doesn't have a charting pop song

Actually now that I think about it, it's crazy so many colleges think their squirrels are special, but I can't think of a single college sports team named after them.

When I was 16 I went to Arkansas Governor's School at Hendrix College (as mentioned on the page) and people wouldn't shut up about the squirrels

The art students had a contest to design a shirt for AGS 2013 and the winner prominently featured a squirrel

It drove me crazy "They're just squirrels!"

Ah, okay that makes sense. Odd to refer to people from the time as "newer" but I can see their frame of reference now

I'm sorry, did this guy say "Young people are always skeptical of change" and "older generations quickly adapt to change"

Lol what?

Correction: Cape Verde was the 2nd smallest nation to qualify (now 3rd). Iceland was the smallest, but is at least twice as big as Curacao

I immediately recognized this as "Todd in the Shadows best of 2009" and I respect that Todd has used a mashup like this in every Best of List since

It's always bugged me when they let them get away with not kicking the extra point.
But it turns out I was wrong and it's a beautiful thing

Yes, maybe if one of their cover hits were as iconic (or approaching as iconic) as the original it'd be up for discussion. Or maybe if one of their other original songs went Top 40
But as it is, yes
