Cam Newton’s hardest class during his surreal, serenaded first semester back at Auburn as a Normal College Student? Criminology. That’s what he recently told the Charlotte Observer (so maybe that was the grade he was hahaha willing to buy). “It was very challenging this semester to go back to school, being that I was out [...]

Continuing in our remembrances of all things Fyffe on this, the 10th anniversary of his death, here’s a photo of Jim at some sort of golf thing with Joe DiMaggio from his memoir “Touchdown Auburn!“ Here’s the caption: “Or you might find me hanging out with the likes of Joe DiMaggio.

So many people have them they’ve apparently been “part of the central Vermont landscape, culture and vernacular” since at least 2008. But they could soon become a collectors item.

I texted Apple CEO and Glom picture day devotee Tim Cook a couple of days ago for a Toomer’s Oaks quote. He didn’t get back with me. I totally understand. That would have taken a couple of minute and the going rate for his time is currently half a million dollars for half an hour. [...]

It’s not a new view for Edna Fellows Christmas. Edna is 100 years old. She has the Toomer’s Oaks beat by 25 years. She’s seen the corner oak-less before. She hated to see it become that way again. But she wanted to be there when it happened. She insisted. Christmas woke her daughter up at [...]
