Today I also learned that the Cyndi Lauper concert I went to at the Hollywood Bowl was the last show on her last tour. It was a fantastic concert, but I felt a tinge of sadness the entire time knowing that I was watching a music legend retire. She brought out and sang duets with Trombone Shorty, Joni Mitchell, Cher, John Legend, and SZA.
I have known for many years that the most insane score in football history was Georgia Tech 222 - Cumberland Gap College 0.
TIL the REST of the story.
It seems that the year prior, CGC had sharked GT by hiring ringers to help win a baseball game. They then kinda shut down their athletics program. But it was ruled that they were still contractually obligated to play GT again at something or pay a fine.
So the sport chosen was football. GT was coached by the same man who ran the BB team; Cumberland Gap fielded a team of students who didn’t know how to play football.
And history was made.

The fact that one of the coaches involved was THE Heisman adds to the awesomeness of this story.
My bad! He was indeed!
I meant to add this video to the original post on this and simply forgot. The producer does an excellently quirky job of presenting the story:

The Alexander 'touchdown' at 6:57 is hilarious (8:42 is more hilarious though... the view into the player's mind palace... 13:15 is also pretty good. Special mention to the final play at 14:12. Slow clap.).
Heisman did not invent the forward pass, as this video hints at. He advocated for it, and had a huge part in having it pushed through, which is to his credit, but a very different thing.
Thanks for posting this! Sent it out to both of my NFL chat groups.

At least it has a name. Now how about treatment and cure?

The homelessness stat I think has a lot to do with homeless children having somewhat better access to services (and thus their caretaker parent with them), and with homeless women having more of an option to (depressingly) trade companionship for shelter. :/
But yeah, lots of challenges with men's health and men's mental health in particular. Too many of us are stubborn and resistant to taking proper care of ourselves.
