      Ran across a cool collection of photos of mostly college football, mostly pre-50s. Do the slideshow.



      It sure was a different time then. There's a picture of a player at my alma mater. The school is DIII now.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        WVU is getting the $4M - 2.5M from U-M, 1.5M from Coach Rod.
        West Virginia University says ex-football coach Rich Rodriguez has agreed to pay a $4 million buyout clause after breaking his contract.


        Now let's get to the football: Utah at U-M in less than 51d, 19h....

          Rich Rod was a moron to think he could weasal his way out of that.

            BTW, it's not "National Signing Day" anymore. Maybe title should be "Summertime Blues"?

              33 days until the main slate of games starts off on Thursday Night August 28. Troy and Middle TN looks to be a good one, but Oregon State at Stanford is probably the game of the day.

              Hard to believe that another season is almost here!
