West Virginia fans might remember Cooper Rego as the touted tailback who originally enrolled at Notre Dame but was dismissed after getting in some trouble he denied ever happened.

(Vague, yes, but this isn’t the place to rehash all those stories. He was a pleasant person while at WVU from 1999-2001).

Well, he never turned the potential into a football career, but nevertheless did find himself under the lights. Rego is a standup comedian. Serious. He performs in the New York area and on East Coast college campuses and appears to have a nice little thing going.
