Not proud but a memory forever. When my mother heard of the story, she asked "Where was your self discipline?" I answered, "When I didn't punch him!" (Glad I didn't.) -
@jojoandme Funniest story of the evening. Did you catch a bunch of grief from the other yell leaders? Actions are worth a thousand yells, bro!

@approxinfinity
None of the other yell leaders said much about it. I think everyone was just "frozen," like "Did he really do that?" The next Monday, I was called to the advisor's office and suspended two games (the season was almost over anyway). I was relieved it wasn't worse.Another great story from my yell leader days was from Ames, Iowa. It was a beautiful fall day, leaves changing, crisp temps, etc. I was standing in front of the football team, ready to lead them out onto the field. From behind me I hear a player say, "Sho' is a nice day." Then a reply from another, " Sho is. Too nice to play football." (I am not makin' this up.) And, sure enough, even though favored, Coach Fam's team lost that day.

@JoJoAndMe ha! Ok where can i read the whole thing? Want more!

Haha, what a fascinating story! Tolerances for crazy behavior seems to have changed! When the Royals and Yankees played the 5th and deciding game in their playoff in 77 Brett slid into 3rd and kind of pushed Nettles the Yankees 3rd baseman away. Nettles kicked Brett and there they are, fighting on the field. Great fight! They get up, dust themselves off, and get back to playing ball! No ejections, suspensions, etc. Play Ball!

I'll be back with more. Right now @ Anchutz in Denver as my wife recovers from open heart surgery!
Phillip Anchutz is a good lad from Russell. Too bad he doesn't follow KU football like David Booth! -
@JoJoAndMe Oh man! I hope it went well and you guys are doing ok. Look forward to more stories!

@JoJoAndMe you may have punched him when you blanked out!

@JoJoAndMe prayers for your wife for a complete and speedy recovery

Praying for your wife and you @jojoandme

@nuleafjhawk Made me laugh.

Thank guys for your thoughts and prayers. We got an excellent valve repair but it came with complications. Planned 4 day recovery has become 10. Home in six more days.
-
Praying those complications are resolving
