Anybody know who is speaking for convocation tomorrow? I'm trying to figure if it's worth getting up that early and driving over there?

You'll be in for a treat. S. Truett Cathy tells an incredible story.

And he usually gives out coupons!

I hear he'll be coming by the Chickfila in CN to do an official grand opening on the same day.

North is getting a Chick-fil-a? I'm really out of the loop.

I remember one year S. Truett Cathy brought a couple boxes full of those stuffed cows. He was literally mobbed by students who jumped out of their seats (of their own volition, I might add) to get as many of those cows as they could. I thought a riot was going to break out. It reminded me of Bob Barker versus the Samoan woman.

We must have been at LU in the same window, because I remember this epsiode distinctly. Poor Truett almost met his earthly demise that day. Consequently, 01LUGrad also has a funny story about that episode, but you'll have to PM to see if he's interested in divulging it, macphisto :lol:

Maybe? I don't know if it's what I'm thinking or not. I doubt it though.

I've been hinted so that I know what it is, but I can't wait until he announces it so we get get down and talk about the specifics. Convo's at 10 right? so it's going down right now.

The new Campus North cafeteria looks amazing. It doesn't get that busy during the day--it's a nice getaway from the Rot.
