3/18/2023: Day of the Dorks
I know Kuligowski is a DL miracle worker, but I am pretty concerned about Mizzou's line this year. Harold Brantley is out for the year with an injury and Marcus Loud was dismissed from the program leaving only Charles Harris as a player who started at least one game before (and he only started one). I don't think it's fair to put a lot of responsibility on Beckner Jr's shoulders, but he's gonna need to contribute this year if the Tigers want to have any sort of presence up front. I guess it's nice that our secondary and linebackers are more seasoned since they'll need to pick up a lot of the slack.

With how prevalent weird pets seem to be in places like Texas I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

I guess we have to hope Josh Augusta and Ricky Hatley can pick up the slack and the dudes under them can catch up fast.

I assume the Florida alligator has eaten someone but the odds are overwhelmingly on it being someone who roots for the Gators since that represents a good 95% of people killed by alligators.

Northwestern apparently used to make Willie sit in a cage in the endzone until the Wildcats scored a touchdown, but they stopped doing that because they just kept being unable to score touchdowns and some college kid ended up stuck in a cage wearing a plush fur suit. Given the timeline, one of those Willies may have been Craig Sager.

Why do people swim in lakes in Florida? I lived there for 9 years and was in a lake one time, loving terrified the entire time. Maybe I was overly cautious, but I'll stick with the ocean.

Gators aren't even the worst thing. Water mocassins and snapping turtles are usually far more hidden and likely to bite you ruining your week/life. Then of course there is this thing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri

quote:

Onset symptoms of infection can start from one to seven days after exposure. Initial symptoms include changes in taste and smell, headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, and a stiff neck. Secondary symptoms include confusion, hallucinations, lack of attention, ataxia, and seizures. After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly over three to seven days, with death occurring usually from seven to fourteen days later, although it can take longer.

Very few infections do we declare death sentences upon diagnosis, but this is one of them. "Yup, you got a brain amoeba, enjoy the next week of your life suffering from seizures and horrifying hallucinations. No, there isn't anything we can do about it, sorry."

It is very rare and there was actually a girl in Arkansas with it two years ago who lived.
