Bulldog Fan Club
When I was in school at Lambuth College, my friends and I enjoyed going to basketball games. The games with our crosstown rival, Union University where always a highlight of the season.

I was the Lambuth Eagle

Road Trip and a Load of Logs

The Last M*A*S*H Episode
On February 28, 1983, one of the greatest television series came to an end. M*A*S*H had become one of the biggest comedy series ever. The last episode was a big deal. I was in college at the time and the last episode of a show like this was a good excuse for fraternities to have parties. Every …
More Chemistry Experiments

More Bad Cinema Club
Going to the movies in the early 1980’s was completely different experience than you get now. There were still drive-in theaters and small movie theaters that would show low budget and second-run films. There were lots of these films out making the rounds to these theaters. For me and my college friends, this created a …
