Dang, I live right in the area and didn't even know about it.

Nothing says Outer Banks like the mountains? Come to the mountains for the oysters, stay for the basketball? They could have some great slogans.

On my trip to Colorado a couple years ago I made a point of not ordering oysters, just in case.

Order the sheep variety. Avoid the porcine or bovine variety.

I recently learned that Western Carolina has a Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines.
I'm seriously concerned about climate change, but I had no idea Asheville & Cullowhee would be thinking this far ahead.

When SMU joined the Big East, as it was still called then, and Pittsburg wound up on the Atlantic Coast in an eponymous conference, I decided that climate change was worse than I had thought.

follow the money. A grant to study groundhog mating is tough to get. But a grant to study how global warming will impact groundhog mating is a relative "sudden propelling of the ball down through the hoop."

Speaking of oysters and mountains, have I related the story Danny Ford told me at a cocktail party one evening the week of the Fla Citrus Bowl before they played Okla? About his motivational stunt and speech as an asst at Clemson before they played Georgia?

It's more straightforward in this case. The person who started the center in Cullowhee brought the research with them from Duke. It's still amusing though.

Have heard the story, but many may not have heard it...and it would be interesting, in any case, to relate the particulars that Coach Ford shared with you, Stan....

Best quote:

"People get maturity confused with me being 100 percent comfortable in my own skin," Mayfield said. "So that's absolutely how I am. I've always been that way. It's not immature. It's me being exactly who I am ..."

Isn't "always having been that way" the definition of immature?

Ah, the old "I'm not being a jerk when I'm being a jerk because I'm just being who I am" argument.

I have consumed the turkey variety. Used to be a big deal to try the fried ones at the Virginia Poultry Festival.

This one strikes a little too close to home: http://time.com/5475553/steph-curry-moo ... cy-theory/
