Sideline Chatter | What will he do when 'Survivor' comes calling? | Seattle Times Newspaper

Stupid? He thinks it was a streak of genius.

Jace Lankow, the 22-year-old who stripped down to his skivvies, ran wild and inadvertently sparked a bench-clearing riot during last week's UCLA-Arizona football game after coming onto the field dressed as a referee, told police he did it because he wants to be a contestant on the TV show "Wipeout."

And he just needed a good answer to "What's the craziest thing you've ever done?" on the application form, so ...

"Assuming he's a free man when producers begin casting," wrote Matt Hinton of Rivals.com, "they just may have a winner."

• Times reader Bill Littlejohn, on the Bears' Devin Hester getting slapped on the back of the head while standing in a casino line: "It turned out to be Jim Harbaugh offering a handshake."

• Ron Kantowski of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, on the moribund Rebels football team: "This just in: Idle 21, UNLV 7."

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on last week's U of A interloper: "People realized the streaker wasn't an actual college football official when his microphone worked."
