In 1957, she was at the Maryland-North Carolina football game at Byrd Stadium -- a game that in itself had intrigue, as it was the first time Jim Tatum (who had built Maryland's great teams of the early fifties, then left for UNC after the '55 season) had coached at Byrd since leaving College Park for Chapel Hill. The home crowd had more joy than their Baltimore counterparts of 34 years later, as the Terrapins won 21-7.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1147814429839819702006-05-16T14:20:00.000-07:002006-05-16T14:20:00.000-07:00When I lived in Manhattan, I roomed with the guy w...When I lived in Manhattan, I roomed with the guy who built the Phillie Phanatic, so one of the costumes (there were two or three of them) was always in the apartment undergoing some sort of rehab.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to say I took the opportunity to do some sexually-inappropriate things with it, but unfortunately it didn't occur to me at the time.Scott the Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560177524646531880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1147751367336764092006-05-15T20:49:00.000-07:002006-05-15T20:49:00.000-07:00You guys all misunderstand Cricket, it's not a gam...You guys all misunderstand Cricket, it's not a game, it's an excuse. <BR/><BR/>A test match in cricket goes for 5 days. <BR/><BR/>When you tell your wife you're just going to watch the game, you are getting a 5 day pass.
