TWiP @12:40a Sunday, or if you prefer 6:40p Saturday— either way I missed posting this in a timely fashion
but that’s what happens when you spend most of your day over the Atlantic Ocean.
So long, farewell, auf wiederseine, adieu (sp?)
Packing up and saying good bye to Burgerhaus-Salmeyer. I will miss Franz’ overpriced breakfasts. (The Institute paid for Mr. Big Food’s, not mine. I went up to Franz’ office to pay. A cool 124e for nine breakfasts. That’s like almost $140 in real money.) Best eggs ever. Croissants were flakey good. The apricot infused honey

How strange

Senior linebacker Willie Hibbler said players, including himself and freshman Jerrion Ealy, walked out of the meeting. “That tells you a lot,” Hibbler said. “I think they
