Wow… I love this… even though it upsets me for its truth.

Chance: He sees your attempt to beat the Vandy baseball team, and he grins. The Rally Beaver does it again as Vandy comes back in the ninth (with a triple steal: click to see) to beat UF!

"I guess I’m known as a RINO now, which means a Republican in name only, because, I guess, of social views, perhaps, or common sense would be another one, which seems to escape members of our party. For heaven’s sake, you have Grover Norquist wandering the earth in his white robes saying that if you raise taxes one penny, he’ll defeat you. He can’t murder you. He can’t burn your house. The only thing he can do to you, as an elected official, is defeat you for reelection. And if that means more to you than your country when we need patriots to come out in a situation when we’re in extremity, you shouldn’t even be in Congress."

Chance: I’d be remiss if I didn’t introduce the newest member of the Vanderbilt athletic community. Chance is sporting his Vandy baseball cap and extra large teeth. Welcome to the family, Rally Beaver.

It isn’t Hoover, but it sure as heck ain’t bad.

Kickass Kid of the Day: A Maryland-based scientist has developed an incredibly accurate mechanism for detecting pancreatic cancer, which is faster than current methods, as well as 100 times more sensitive and 28 times cheaper. Oh, and the scientist is 15 years old.
For his discovery, high school freshman Jack Andraka just won the Gordon E. Moore Award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which comes with a $75,000 prize.
Andraka’s method uses single-walled carbon nanotubes — which he calls “the superheroes of material science” — to detect a pancreatic cancer marker in urine and blood samples. In a blind test, it had a 100% success rate.
“I did not expect for it to be this good,” he said, “I was blown away by how sensitive it was.”
[huffpo.]
This kid should be a national hero, not a baseball or football player.
All the more incredible considering the Vandy Boys were 7-15 when that run began. Here’s hoping they stay hot so I have a reason to drive down to Hoover this weekend.
