Amazing ending to a 1994 High School football game, Plano East down 41-17 with 3 minutes to go.
What’s great is the annoucing. Take 4 1/2 minutes and enjoy.
According to FSU Coach Bobby Bowden, he blamed Ebay as the reason things didn’t work out for his son Jeff who was the Seminole offensive coordinator.
Telling a small group of reporters:
“Because you all ignited it,” he said to a small room of reporters. “You listen to eBay and e-mail and all that junk, and you all kept writing about it and that fans it and makes it grow and grow, and it becomes a cancer. That’s why.”
What a nice video…great reenactment video.
Marie Rudisill (The Fruitcake Lady) died in Hudson, Florida on November 3, 2006, at the age of 95, just before the publication date of her latest book, Ask the Fruitcake Lady: Everything You Would Already Know If You Had Any Sense, on November 7. Born Edna Marie Faulk in Monroeville, Alabama, she was aunt to Truman Capote, and helped to raise him in Alabama and New York City when he was still young.
Rudisill’s book Fruitcake led to her being invited to be a guest on The Tonight Show in December 2000. During her first visit, she showed Jay Leno and Mel Gibson how to make fruitcakes. In 2002, the “Ask the Fruitcake Lady” segments became a regular part of The Tonight Show. In these segments, viewers posed prerecorded questions to Rudisill (including questions of a graphic sexual nature), and her frank and often unpredictable responses were shown. In her responses, she often lost patience with what she perceived as stupidity on the part of some questioners, and lapsed into profanity, an atypical trait for persons of her age, and one that endeared her to many fans.

LONDON, Ky. (AP) - A southeastern Kentucky woman was bitten by a snake during a church service and later died, a law enforcement officer said. Linda Long, 48, of London died Sunday at University of Kentucky Medical Center, said Brad Mitchell, a detective with the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.
Long died about four hours after the bite was reported, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Officials said Long attended East London Holiness Church. Neighbors of the church told the newspaper the church practices serpent handling.
Lt. Ed Sizemore of the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office said friends went with Long to a local hospital Sunday afternoon, and she was taken to UK.
“She said she was bitten by a snake at her church,” Sizemore said.
Handling reptiles as part of religious services is illegal in Kentucky. Snake handling is a misdemeanor and punishable by a $50 to $100 fine. Police said they had not received reports about snake handling at the church.
Snake handling is based on a passage in the Bible, in the Gospel of Mark, that says a sign of a true believer is the power to “take up serpents” without being harmed.
Church officials could not be reached for comment.
The funeral was scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Arthur’s Chapel Church in Rosehill, Va., according to the Rosehill Funeral Home.

Jefferson County Commissioner (Birmingham, AL) Shelia Smoot paid herself $4,450 out of campaign contributions even though she doesn’t have an opponent in her district in Tuesday’s general election, according to campaign finance reports.
Smooth, who has received $60,000 in contributions, also ran unopposed in the June primary election.
She defended the payment, saying the money was used to buy gasoline, food for her campaign team and a new computer.
“I am actively campaigning,” said Smoot, who is finishing her first term on the commission. “I’m not going to take this office for granted.”
Smoot said she is in campaign mode “every day.” “You cannot not campaign because you don’t have an opponent. Why would you not campaign if you don’t have an opponent?”
