...facebook.com, as compared with the 316, for example, who include “Family Guy,” or the 321 who list “drinking” as a personal hobby. It’s hard to believe that seven-card-stud could beat out Stewie Griffin and Captain Jack (excuse me, did someone just say stud?). But poker doesn’t only have fans on campus.
