Happy July 4 to all our CUSA Brethren. As we celebrate this most precious and unique of American Holidays; let us not forget that in our tortured history many hundreds of thousands have been injured, threatened, imprisoned and died, so that all of us can live in " The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave".

Happy 4th, conference mates.

Happy 4th and congrats to Joey "Jaws" Chestnut that won his 11th Nathan's hot dog eating title with a new world record of 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes this morning in this great American tradition that started decades ago.

No word on how many Tums he ate later in the day.

How did it end up being 74? Did they miscount? It was 64 when I was watching it.

It is 74.

Quote:But while Chestnut ate 10 more dogs and buns than second-place finisher Carmen Cincotti, a judging error cast initial doubt over their totals after jurists didn't see the eaters were taking the dogs and buns from two plates.

``Frankly, the judging was just off,'' George Shea, the longtime Coney Island announcer, told The Associated Press. ``Joey said, `look at my plates' and Carmen said `look at my plates.' We counted the plates that they had eaten and it was 64 and 74.''

Eric Gonzalez, the Brooklyn district attorney, certified the final tally and Chestnut's record of 74.

"At the end of the day, Joey Chestnut came in here and ate 74 hot dogs, broke a world record,'' said Cincotti, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Wednesday. "Apparently they were good dogs.''

I wonder why the young lady to the right has the funny smile like she is about to break out laughing while looking at all those hot dogs.

Yep. Afterwards they realized they missed two plates.
