50 Yard Line Faxed Menu. This goes back a ways, all the way back to the other blog, but when former head coach Tommy Tuberville snuck out of the 50 Yard Line in order to take the Cincinnati job, our very own Kenneth Washburn, a commentor at the time (KWash) decided to fax Tuberville the menu to the 50 Yard Line on Tuberville’s first National Signing Day at Cincy. At the time, we (I mean this in the community sense) made national news. As you may, or may not know, the 50 Yard Line is set to close their doors, hence the recollection of the fond memories.
KWash will be on the Rob Breaux Show today at 9:37 a.m. Don’t be late. They run a mean clock. You may tune in to KKAM and there’s an app that you can download (link is there).
This was literally the fax that KWash sent (cover page, 1st page, and 2nd page):
Date: 2-06-2013

Preview. The official site has the official preview, but there’s no pitching match-ups mentioned. I’d imagine that head coach Tim Tadlock will be perhaps announce at the regional press conference.
