A local older fellow I know spent part of his childhood in Waco.

He said he'd skip school and head down to Baylor. There, he''d agitate the bear, which resided underneath the stadium.

I'm still quite fond of the story of the original Bevo.

""The Truth About Bevo" posted:

Out of sight and away from Austin, the branded steer was all but forgotten until the end of the war in November 1919. Since food and care for the animal was costing the University fifty cents a day, and because the steer wasn't believed to be tame enough to roam the campus or remain in the football stadium, it was fattened up and became the barbecued main course for the January 1920 football banquet. The Aggies were invited to attend, served the side they had branded, and were presented with the hide, which still read "13 - 0."

Of course, there also this

It is rare, but that doesn't make it any less terrifying. Also, the survival is less than 1%. Just because I know someone who has survived a ED thoracotomy for blunt trauma doesn't mean I expect anyone else too.

It is becoming less rare in Louisiana over the past couple of years. A handful of the southern parishes are getting pretty frequent "boil water" orders.

About 10 days ago, there was one in Orleans parish. Even though the city found out at 3am that it'd been detected, the alert didn't go out until around 10:30. By that time, I'd already showered & drank water from the tap.

Ingesting it is actually fine. Its submersing yourself in the infected water that's a problem. The parasite gets to the brain by going up your nose, through some tiny openings in the skull at the top of the sinuses and into the brain. Still, you want to avoid it like the plague.

Also I was at a bachelor party in new Orleans drunk for the whole time a couple weeks ago and we didn't see the boil water thing til a few days in. I guess it's (arguably) a good sign that we're all still alive.

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
Jerry Kill is getting a raise from 2.2 million a year to 2.5 million. A staggeringly idiotic sum which has thus far netted no bowl game wins. Even more idiotically that would still only make him the 8th highest paid coach in the Big 10. Jesus loving christ.

What are some decent streaming sites? I'm heading to Sicily in the end of September. I'm going to end up missing the Rutgers game entirely because it's an 8pm game, and I'll already be on the plane by the time the game starts. The following Saturday, I might hunker down in my hotel room and stream the game if I can't find a bar with American sports in Catania (seems incredibly unlikely). As a last resort, I'll purchase the streaming radio thing. If the game is on BTN, I think I should be okay.

Man Dooley cratered Tennessee. Who the hell was the AD at Tennessee that hired Dooley anyway? I'm struggling to think of anyone that was as obviously unqualified as Dooley that's ever been hired at a major program. Maybe somebody like Tim Beckman or Turner Gill, but I don't know if Kansas or Illinois qualify as major programs. Maybe the Buffalo Bills hiring Chan Gailey?

To be somewhat fair to the AD, they were scrambling to find a HC rather unexpectedly. By that point, probably all of the flashy big names were already taken.

If NFL hires count I expect Jim Tomsula to make this list in a couple of years. Or a year.

Also what Charlie Weis did to Kansas is the most complete crater job I can think of. poo poo program when he got there and he somehow made it much much worse.

You could justify Kiffin at least - he has NFL experience. He went 8-5 at Louisiana Tech and his dad was a good coach at Georgia doesn't seem like it qualifies you for anything better.

Tomasula is a good one. Also the Chargers having an incredibly talented roster and hiring Norv Turner is up there.

If Carroll doesn't leave USC he's prb at Tenn at least until around when Dooley got canned. I think he would have made the program better than what Dooley did to it for sure.

It's been said before but had Dooley's last name been Johnson or something like that instead, he would have never even been looked at. Kiffin wound up being a disaster and the idea was to bring someone on that had a recognizable name and was "wholesome". Most people have the warm and fuzzies about Vince, so Derek will bring that with him right? RIGHT?
