Cowbell-Gripping Good
I thought I was going to wear the grip out of my cowbell tonight, folks. Talk about a tense game! However… Back to nice, calm, blood-pressure lowering research.
Emmett Wilson, “Living Skeleton”
In celebration of Halloween, I thought I’d share a little odd item I found a while back from Emmett’s college yearbook, The Argo, 1900: Rather appropriate for Halloween, isn’t it? I am curious about the Cemetery Club. What kind of club was it? When and where were their meetings […]
Clenched Fist Typing; Research Update
I know it has been a little quiet this week; I sat down today while the game was on to catch up, but trust me, you can’t type with clenched fists. But thankfully, things are much better here at the DC-MSU Bulldogs Annex: === I promised an update, and I […]
A New Mystery Unfolds
Readers, today I can report the discovery of several important answers to key questions in Emmett’s research — and a new mystery to solve. Perry Mason, where are you when I need you? I can’t spill the beans on everything I’ve found (because it would give away some of the […]
The Sad Decline of Writing Quality
A friend sent this to me the other day: Sad, but true. In my 20 years of teaching in two disciplines (Communications and Education), it seems like there has been a downward spiral in writing quality for at least the past decade. I’ve never had so many instances of academic […]
No offense…
Really. Nothing against Emmett. I love him dearly, but you have to admit, this guy: …would probably not have done this: Different time, different game, different, er, protective gear. Or maybe he did, and that explains why he’s not on the 1900 WFS football team roster. The ‘Tell My Story’ […]
Oh Hell Yeah!
It was a productive day! I worked on Emmett’s book this afternoon, watched this outstanding contest… …and, converted an FSU fan to MSU! Yeah, baby! Productive! I’ll report back on the writing progress (it is going well)! Hail State!
Pardon this interruption…
…for a little Maroon & White celebration!
The Skeleton in the Closet
When I read microfilm, I usually come across titillating bits and interesting articles unrelated to Emmett Wilson, and save them. These little items tell me that people of Emmett’s day weren’t as uptight as we think, and that even 100 years later, we still have a lot in common. Today, […]
Best. Job. Ever.
So, yesterday, I uncovered the fact that Emmett’s father, Dr. Frank Wilson, may have been operating — literally — for years, without a medical credential. I thought I had this big ‘get’, but no. It turns out he wasn’t breaking any laws. Hell, back then, if you wanted to be […]
Tell my story.
