Some recent news.
1. TOOMER'S CORNER-- From the 4-21-13 Dr. Saturday. Auburn fans roll Toomer's Corner oaks one last time on April 20th after a record crowd of 83,401 watched the annual spring game (and poor old NIU couldn't get that many in a six game season).
This was to be the last time for the current trees, or what's left of them after an Alabama fan poisoned them two years ago. The city is going to cut them down, but have no fear, new trees will be planted and until they are strong enough, wires will be strung at the Corner on football weekends.
Poisoning the trees was a horrible thing, regardless of how much you hate the other team.
2. ECU-- My second favorite college football team is East Carolina. At their April spring game, they made a kid with a life-threatening disease's day when they suited him up and let him run for a touchdown with the whole team in pursuit. I saw that several other teams did that as well. Now, that's a real nice thing.
3. LAME NAME-- The new college four team playoff system for the national championship is going to be called "The College Football Playoff." The ad company who came up with that sure phoned that one in. I think a better name would have been "The Big Money Bowl Series." Plus, it should have been 16 teams instead of 4.
Oh Well. --RoadDog
TOO PUNNY: I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
