Yeah. SLC, Provo, and the like aren't nearly as dull as outsiders think.

I must say I'm surprised about the BYU contingent. I never said people in Utah don't drink and that there is no smoking, drinking or cussing in Utah. I am just surprised to see anyone who travels to BYU games partaking. I guess it is not surprising, but for me, I grew up in a Mormon home and went to BYU games every year growing up and never experienced it.

To be honest, I have no idea if these fans were actual Mormons. And like Jim McMahon, not all alums were followers of the church (McMahon was catholic, iirc).

AA, I drink. I haven't practiced Mormon doctrine or been active in the religion since I turned 18. My wife and kids are Catholic, and therefore, so am I by proxy? It was much less confusing when I just didn't go to church...

I wonder how Sav's health is. He used to e-mail me pretty often, but I haven't heard from him in several years. I hope he's ok.

I have some bad news for you. Here's what happened:


I spent my formative years on the subcontinent, as my father was a major in the British Army and stationed in India during the Second Opium War. Once, while he was away on campaign, I was tasked to eliminate a streak of rogue tigers who had been killing the villagers in a place called Bharatpur. My houseboy, Savgator, was my faithful servant on this expedition. The journey was a hard day's travel and we made a hasty camp to get some rest. But before I could finish my tea, a village woman named Culay ran in and shouted that tigers were attacking. We quickly followed and after killing three of the beasts, I set my sights on the fourth -and last- but unfortunately my gun jammed. Thinking and moving on instinct, I drew my knife and leapt on the back of the behemoth. My blade found his carotid, and dealt a mortal blow, but not before the tiger had clawed Sav. As the tiger fell, I rushed to my servant's side and surmised that his wounds would likely prove fatal.

Nonetheless, I thus began a frantic search for help when I happened upon Sgt. Gunny McDonald, a deserter from the Scottish regiment that had been under my father's command. Gunny thought I was a part of a team to bring him back, so he attacked, but I kept my wits about me and killed him with a Kimura Lock.

Afterwards, I rifled through the dead sergeant's supplies to find something -anything- that would help abate Sav's pain, and found a bottle of Drambuie among Gunny's things. I ran back to my camp faster than I had ever ran before, but upon arrival I found that poor Sav had died while I was gone. Grief-stricken, I sat down and drank the whole bottle before making my way back to the base.

Now, every October 24th I toast a glass of Drambuie to the memory of Sav. As god is my witness....

Very Hemingwayesque, AA. I seriously do hope Sav is still doing ghost tours in Savannah. I don't miss Sav's Grandson though…

I used to get several emails from Sav myself - he ignored (didnt get) my last few so dont know whats going on there.

We met for beers once in Savannah - he was a good guy in an old fart kinda way.

I googled him once but he has the same name as a fairly famous entrepreneur so I couldnt sift thru all that crap.
