Mods, feel free to move.  He wasn't a celeb in the worldly sense of the term but he was an institution in the KSU college of ag and he influenced policy at the national level for decades.  I learned more in his ag policy class than I did in any other class I took at kstate.
I was just coming to post this as well.  I never had the benefit of a class with him.  schreds21,  you need to bring that ag policy knowledge to the farm thread.

Lol I was thinking about watching some of those SNL skits

The jeopardy thing overshadows his whole career.

When world collide. Now when you watch the one with Burt, Connery, and Trebek, they're all gone

Chuck Yeager :frown:

Yeah, he's an absolute stud.  I bet they had to add a little extra fuel to his planes just to haul his enormous balls.  I may have mentioned this in my review of The Right Stuff (the book, not the movie or NKOTB related), but Chuck Yeager is the reason that airline pilots used to and sort of still do speak in that slow drawl.  Chuck Yeager talked like that so they imitated him.

RIP, John le Carre. I really enjoyed his spy novels. The Spy Who Came in From the Cold was the best and the movie adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy got me hooked on the spy genre:

Mind blowing stat about Hank Aaron - if you take away all of his home runs he would still have over 3000 career hits, more than Wade Boggs even.  No idea on how many Miller Lites Hank could put away on a cross country flight though.

Is it just me or are people super weird about Kobe's death? I know he died early, but people are like super emotional over him. It's like they all blacked out about his past and think of him as a super god. I'm pretty respectful about the passing of people, but this one just seems odd to me.

In hindsight, I love Tiger (Kobe is no Tiger), but he was still a dirt human by the end of the day.

It's not my place to judge. Their transgressions were exposed for all to see. Does the scarlet letter have no expiration date for you?
