Today I Learned: Ed Orgeron's Super Power Is Staring
Today I Learned: Ed Orgeron's Super Power Is Staring
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron is great at staring.
The internet is an educational place.
Here's a collection of information we've gleaned from the World Wide Web this week.
Some of it's useful -- some of it, not so much.
Today I learned…
Kennesaw State Has A Turnover Plank
So I saw this on Sunday while I was mindlessly flipping through my Twitter feed and I was very confused.
I’ve seen trash cans and necklaces and spiky shoulder pads, but I’ve not seen a random board with eyes and a mouth.
Now that I have? Let’s talk.
I’ve done more research than I care to admit, so allow me to educate those of you with far better things to do with your time. Apparently Plank is a character in a show I’ve never watched called “Ed, Edd and Eddy,” and it (he?) was first handed over as a reward to safety Taylor Henkle, who also has no idea what the deal is.
“I’ve seen it around the locker room and in people’s lockers, but I didn’t ask any questions,” Henkle told the Marietta Daily Journal. “I don’t know who came up with the idea to hand it to me after the pick. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I held it up.”
If you’d like to know more about the adventures of Plank and Kennesaw State, I recommend you just read this.
Ed Orgeron Is Great At Staring Contests
Coach Orgeron is such a unique individual. I don’t even know what else to say about him, really. But if he ever did that weird Katy Perry four-day livestream thing, I’d tune in for at least six hours.
It's been a while since I've been in an old fashion staring contest, for the record I didn't look away. #wecoming pic.twitter.com/SHDjDUlQBw

Shoutout to Michael Cauble for standing his ground — but we’re going to need to see video evidence before I’ll totally believe it.
Over Their Past Four Meetings, TCU Has Outscored Texas 153-33
That’s not a typo. The private school in Fort Worth that, just six years ago, played in the Mountain West Conference, has outscored the most profitable football program in the country by 120 points over the past four years.
With all due respect to TCU, I don’t even understand how this is possible. I mean credit to the Horned Frogs for moving to the forefront of the sport with rapid ascension, and I’m not saying TCU shouldn’t ever beat Texas, I’m just saying TCU shouldn’t beat Texas four times in a row by an average of 30 points per game.
I think that’s pretty safe to say, right?
Bradley Chubb Has Been Getting His Own Towels Stolen For A Change
The tables have turned for the infamous NC State towel bandit, Bradley Chubb.
Someone had to teach this man @ASTROCHUBB a lesson #SaveTheTowels @espn pic.twitter.com/1aqoaCX1sh

Can’t even keep hold of a towel within the confines of your own home now, Bradley. See what you’ve done? Karma, bro. Karma.
