FOS Notes ’bout Nuthin:


The No. 1 2021 QB Caleb Williams in America Makes His Decision the 4th!!

The three finalists for this young man from Gonzaga, Washington, D.C. are Maryland, LSU, and Oklahoma!!  B in T is going out on a homer limb and picking the SOONERS as the team he wears the cap for!!  Legend says that Caleb once threw a mighty mite football 106 yards with a slight wind!!  Google it!  According to suburban legend his sophomore year he once jumped over 2 cheerleaders at the same time, saving them both with severe concussions!!  Mr. Williams has some speed in his tank according to his high school coaches!!  He ran a 4.95 forty yard dash.............. backward!!

FOS College Football Picks and FOS Pumpkin Man will be back in September!  CORONAVIRUS ITS TIME TO GO BYE-BYE!!


New Razorback Coach Has Cahonas!

First of all, new Razorback Coach Sam Pittman recommended that Hogs consider moving to a new conference like the Big 12 or the American Athletic Conference!!  At that point his team has a chance to win 7 or 8 games instead of losing 7 or 8 games every year for eternity!!!  This much better chance of keeping his gig as Razorback HC!!
The second item he recommended to the board was to change the Razorback name to Arkansas Razormurder Backhornets!  New name - new conference!!  Probably not!!  FOS again thinking outside the box!!

PLEASE HAVE A FOOTBALL SEASON 2020!!


FOS - B in T Annual Fireworks and Cookout Tradition at the Blackwell Morrill Farm!!

This year's agenda includes:
Watermelon πŸ‰ seed spitting contest this event has been won three years in a row by nephew Braden who is also the Kay county Fair seed spitting contest winner from 2019!!  He is known for his blowing power and seed spitting angles!!

Barbeque Cookoff Contest - The husband and wife team of Jason and Amy (cousins of Mr. and Mrs. B in T) have smoked close to a ton of meat over the years at the Blackwell Family Fourth of July!!  This year they have added smoked frog legs, smoked armadillo I35 roadkill, and grilled bull testicles to their award-winning lineup of food!!

6-pack Minimum I35 Golf Ball Driving Contest-
You must drink an entire 6-pack of Coor light silver bullet beer before you fire your first shot of the tee toward the I35 highway!!  Andre the Giant, golfer from Brazil, has won this contest each year and simply using a number 2 laddie pencil as a tee!!  True story, no shat!!
Once the Fireworks commence starting, myself and my super cool brother in law Mike, take a fire extinguisher and head to each side of the wheat field and prepare to battle any type of blaze that may develop from wind shifts or faulty fireworks!!  Almost ten years ago a bottle rocket went sideways and blew 5-inch hole in my Lee jeans and singed my left butt cheek!!  About 8 years ago my brother in law Mike was on fire extinguisher duty on the south side of the wheat field when a final enormous firework was lit and parts of this beast landed on Mike catching his hair on fire!!  Mike was forced to use the fire extinguisher foam on himself to douse the very humorous self-inflicted fire πŸ”₯!!This was fortunately caught on camera and sent to Americas Funniest Home Videos (AFV) where it did not place but was seen by the entire nation!



FOS Top 7 College Football Facilities:
  1.  Oregon  
This project was funded by Nike founder Phil Knight and cost $68 million dollars for 145,000 square feet of paradise. You are greeted in a huge lobby area with 64 TVs that can project a single image that will instantly let you know that you are in a premier facility. A lot of these facilities have sort of the same things but Oregon uses materials such as Brazilian hardwood for their weight room and Italian leather in their player's lounge. 

2.  Texas A&M  

Texas A&M plays at one of the biggest stadiums in all of college sports so it would make sense after a $500 million dollar stadium renovation that they would also upgrade their football facility. The Bright Football Complex underwent a renovation that cost $20.8 million and it doesn’t disappoint!

3.  Ohio State 
Ohio State has an older facility but it continues to receive massive expansions so it can keep up with some of the big names in college football. Ohio State is consistently competing for national titles and they have rewarded their players with everything they could ask for when they are getting ready for the next game. It has it all including, cryotherapy chambers, sleep pods, and many other recovery tools for athletes.

4. Clemson  
The Tigers facility cost a cool $55 million and opened in 2017. The projected includes two bowling lanes, a golf simulator, multiple pool and ping-pong tables, and an outdoor basketball court. That isn’t all though there is even a 9 hole mini golf course on the complex. 

5.  Texas. 
Their actual complex has a lot of the things we see at other programs but they made big news after debuting their new $7 million dollar locker room in 2017. They reportedly cost $8,700 for each individual locker and if you saw these things you would know why. Instead of using wood each locker is made of stainless steel!
6. Michigan  
Michigan used some of the money from their new Jordan sponsorship deal to open a 280,000 square foot performance center that cost a cool $168 million dollars. This isn’t just for football but it is still one of the best all-around places in the country. Specifically for football Michigan got a $14.8 million dollar upgrade and a weight room that puts other universities to shame. Michigan may be underperforming on the field but they aren’t struggling for cash and we will likely see some big things from them in the future.


7. Oklahoma

Oklahoma has been a program that is a mainstay near the top of the rankings and at the top of the Big 12 conference. This has paid off and they now spend their time at a brand new 132,000 square foot football complex. 32,000 square feet of the place is a training facility that is more than 3x the size of what they had in the previous complex and even features a 70 yard training area. They also pay homage to those who came before them with their Heisman hallway and displays of the notable achievements in the history of the program. Even head coach Lincoln Riley’s office looks like something that you would see in the White House not a college football complex. 

8 Union High School Facility 
The 2019 Union Facility Bond for 23 million dollars makes this the top high school facility in the nation!  This is deserving of being in the FOS top 7 of college facilities!  Just saying!  This facility will not be completed until 2021.  Many road games for the team in 2020!  


FOS Bobbleheads:

Signs of Youth Football are in Mannford, Oklahoma!!  Can College and Pro Football be CLOSE!!
Words of Wisdom from the unwise one:
Always open the door for your wife the first 10 years of marriage!!  After that you're done!  Known fact from the Farmers Almanac, page 147!!!

Have a great sports like week!

FESTIVALS STILL ON SCHEDULE TO BE OPEN!

  1.  Testicle Festival – Clinton, Montana - August This is a “balls to the wall” celebration of bull testicles complete with a contest to see who can choke down the most of the chopped off manhoods in 4-minutes.  What better way to follow up the contest than with an underwear race? You guessed it. The pants come off and the race is on.
  2.  Bonnaroo Festival - Manchester Tennessee - September  Throwing it back to the free-love mindset of the ‘60s, Bonnaroo is one of the best US festivals you won’t want to miss. With a totally inclusive vibe and multi-genre musical acts, Bonnaroo lets you leave your worries behind and join the positivity movement in the heart of the American south. Camp out on the massive farm in Tennessee where this four-day festival takes place and dance like nobody’s watching! With everyone from Cardi B to Childish Gambino on the bill this year, we can’t wait to see who’s performing in 2020!

3.  Austin City Limits Music Festival - ACL is the chill Texas music festival that hosts some of the best names in music over the course of two weekends. Austin keeps it local, offering tons of food options from vendors from the area, plus displaying lots of work from Texan artists, perfect for backpackers who want to get an authentic feel for the city. A classic summer music festival with an overall relaxed vibe, varied markets and a great Indie music lineup – there’s no question that Austin City Limits is one of the best festivals in the US!

4.  Lollapalooza Festival -  Chicago - SeptemberGear up for an extra dose of music, dance, comedy and lots of fun with your friends as this festival gives you an opportunity to enjoy a diverse music genre which also provides a platform for non-profit artists to perform. In the global hall of fame for festivals, this music festival is certainly one of the best festivals in America.
CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS



5.  Albuquerque Balloon Festival - SeptemberThis event, we guarantee, is like nothing you’ve ever seen before in your entire life! Imagine a sky filled with hundreds of different coloured hot air balloons floating in the air. You can turn this imagination into a reality when you visit the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, held every year in Ne Mexico, and witness over 500 air balloons fly over your head, creating an almost magical kind of atmosphere for the visitors. Not only watching, but you will also have an opportunity to fly up on a hot air balloon as well here, making it one of the best festivals in the US.



6.  Faked Out Sports Pumpkin Man Festival -September - Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Pumpkin Man’s mythical skinny body and fat pumpkin head are celebrated with a parade on Yorktown Street in central Tulsa!!  Thousands of Tulsans will wear pumpkin heads and dance in the streets!!  The festival is held at Utica Square for 3 days in late September!! The festival includes pumpkin fudge making contest, pumpkin seed spitting, πŸŽƒ pumpkin pie eating contest and an autograph booth with Pumpkin Man and his creator!!



7.   Roadkill Cookoff – Marlington, West Virginia   Mostly attended by locals with a few outside stragglers, the annual Roadkill Cookoff is exactly what the name implies. If it wasn’t found dead on the side of the road, it won’t be on the menu. Visitors show up for a taste of the unusual, even if they don’t know what it was prior to falling victim to an 18-wheeler or a four-wheel drive pickup truck. Of course, there’s live music to chew by.



8.   Mothman Festival. Point Pleasant, West Virginia - September   According to the website, the first sighting on the red-eyed winged creature known as "Mothman" was in 1966 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. While it's just an urban legend, visiting the festival and the town itself might have you turning into a believer. There are paranormal guest speakers, a tour of the area where the sighting took place, selfies with the infamous Mothman statue, costumes, and of course, Mothman face painting for the kiddos.



9.   National Hollerin’ Festival - North Carolina - August.   Every September, people rush to Clinton,  North Carolina to scream. This isn't a joke.  Formerly known as the National Hollerin' Contest, the competition was first held in 1969 to celebrate a "sophisticated" vocal tradition used between individuals dealing with long-distance communication. Obviously, this method of talking came before the telephone.

10.  Geckofest - Gulfport, Florida - September   What is probably one of the most colorful events in the U.S., GeckoFest brings thousands of visitors to Gulfport, Florida every September to celebrate the town's "unofficial mascot and favorite reptile."According to the festival's website, the theme for this year's event is GeckoCon, which means all the people who come dressed like geckos will now come dressed like geckos in superhero costumes. While the street performers, colorful costumes and annual Gecko Ball are obvious attractions, perhaps the coolest thing about this festival is its popular, high-energy street dances.

#7 TCU
#8 Oklahoma
#9 Baylor
#10 Vols



FOS Top 7 Most Famous Male College Football Cheerleaders All-time:

GEORGE W. BUSH
Future president George W. Bush wasn't just a cheerleader at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts in the 1960s: he was head cheerleader.


AARON SPELLING
Aaron Spelling may have made his name behind the scenes as one of television's most prolific—and successful—producers, but he was front and center when he was head cheerleader at Southern Methodist University.


JIMMY STEWART
Iconic actor Jimmy Stewart was also head cheerleader during his tenure at Princeton.


SAMUEL L. JACKSON
Samuel L. Jackson lent his legendary voice to the squad at Riverside High in Chattanooga, Tennessee.


TRENT LOTT
Former Mississippi Senator Trent Lott was a cheerleader at Ole Miss.


KIRK DOUGLAS AND MICHAEL DOUGLAS
Before he was an actor, Kirk Douglas honed his performance skills as a cheerleader at Amsterdam High School in Amsterdam, New York. As with acting, Kirk's son Michael also followed in his dad's footsteps in cheerleading; he was on the squad at Choate.




FOS Top College Football Stadium
Entrances:  

 1.  Clemson - Bus Ride to Rub the Rock
The Tigers ride buses around the stadium, enter the stadium before “Running Down The Hill,” and every player touches Howard’s Rock in “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football,” according to Hall of Fame broadcaster Brent Musberger.

 2.  Virginia Tech Sandman Song
The entire stadium, from the band, to the student section, to people who are probably too old to do it, jump in unison as the song builds to its climax. The Hokies’ football team walks from their locker room to the stadium, files into the narrow tunnel, and bursts onto the Lane Stadium field. It’s electric, it’s crazy, and it’s our favorite entrance in all of college football.

 3.  Florida State War Spear
Chief Osceola rides in on Renegade and plants his spear at midfield while the Florida State faithful let their iconic war chant ring into the Tallahassee air during pregame ceremonies. The tomahawk chop, though, is mind-bending. Doak Campbell Stadium seats around 80,000 people, and all able-bodied FSU fans raise their arms, and chop in unison.  If your on the visiting team bench and the spear is spiked in the ground you tend to shat your pants!

4.  Texas Tech Masked Rider
Since the 1954 Gator Bowl, Texas Tech’s “Masked Rider” has led the team onto the field, but he was first seen roaming Texas Tech’s sidelines in 1936. 

 5.  Georgia Tech 1930 Model T
Georgia Tech’s nickname is the Yellow Jackets, and their mascot is Buzz, but it’s a 1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe that serves as the student body’s official mascot. “Wreck” first began leading the Georgia Tech football team onto the field in 1961, which originally was a 1914 Ford Model T.

6.  Oklahoma Sooners Sooner Schooner
Two white horses, rightfully named Boomer and Sooner, pull the replica Studebaker Conestoga wagon on and around Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to welcome the Sooners to the field!  The Schooner toppled over in a game in 2019 and Sooner fans watch the Schooner come out leading the team betting on what yard line the wagon would topple!!

 7.  Texas A&M 12th Man on ’Roids
The Texas A&M drumline marches out ahead of the Aggies at Kyle Field, home of the 12th man, and sets the stage for their SEC powerhouse to take the field. The entire stadium claps, flicks pompoms and towels, and awaits the Aggies team to appear at the entrance of the tunnel. Then, Kanye West’s stadium anthem “POWER” drops, and the place goes nuts. Kyle Field is one of largest stadiums in the country, but there’s not an empty seat in the house when the Aggies take the field.

 8.  Hawaii Haka Dance 
When the Haka Dance begins, you know it’s time for battle. Iconically performed by New Zealand’s athletic teams during international competition, it’s forgotten here because most East Coast football fans don’t watch the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors play at 10:30 on Saturday nights. This ceremonial dance is one of the coolest moments in the country, and it deserves a spot on the list.

 9.  East Carolina Purple Haze
Accompanied by a little Jimi Hendrix, the ECU Pirates’ entrance into Dowdy Ficklen Stadium is incredibly underrated. East Carolina’s fallen on hard times since moving to the American Athletic Conference, but if the program returns to the way it was when quarterback Shane Carden was smashing records left and right, you’ll be seeing plenty more ECU football as the AAC continues to gain momentum.

10.  Tulsa Golden Hurricane Tesla Smoke Machine
The Hurricane and their Golden Retriever dog, Rumplestilskin, leads the Hurricane golf cart, hurricane warning flags, cheerleaders, and team on the field with a smoke machine built by Tesla!! 

Words of wisdom from the unwise one!
Do not say Pumpkin πŸŽƒ Man three times in a row while in a seance!!  

Have a great sports almost here week!
