Today is Saturday, Dec. 2, the 336th day of 2017. There are 29 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Dec. 2, 1942, an artificially created, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was demonstrated for the first time at the University of Chicago.
On this date:
In 1697, London's St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, was consecrated for use even though the building was still under construction.
In 1804, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of the French.
In 1859, militant abolitionist John Brown was hanged for his raid on Harpers Ferry the previous October. Artist Georges-Pierre Seurat was born in Paris.
In 1927, Ford Motor Co. unveiled its Model A automobile that replaced its Model T.
In 1939, New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field (later LaGuardia Airport) went into operation as an airliner from Chicago landed at one minute past midnight.
In 1954, the U.S. Senate passed, 67-22, a resolution condemning Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., saying he had "acted contrary to senatorial ethics and tended to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute."
In 1957, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station in Pennsylvania, the first full-scale commercial nuclear facility in the U.S., began operations. (The reactor ceased operating in 1982.)
In 1967, Cardinal Francis Spellman died in New York at age 78.
In 1970, the newly created Environmental Protection Agency opened its doors under its first director, William D. Ruckelshaus.
In 1982, in the first operation of its kind, doctors at the University of Utah Medical Center implanted a permanent artificial heart in the chest of retired dentist Dr. Barney Clark, who lived 112 days with the device.
In 1997, the film drama "Good Will Hunting" starring Robin Williams, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck was released by Miramax Films.
In 2015, a couple loyal to Islamic State opened fire at a holiday banquet for public employees in San Bernardino, California, killing 14 people and wounding 21 others before dying in a shootout with police.

Ten years ago: Venezuela President Hugo Chavez (OO'-goh CHAH'-vez) suffered defeat as voters rejected sweeping constitutional reforms by 51 to 49 percent. Russian President Vladimir Putin's party swept 70 percent of the seats for a new parliament in a vote whose fairness was called into question by European election monitors. Brian Wilson, Martin Scorsese, Steve Martin, Diana Ross and pianist Leon Fleisher received Kennedy Center honors for their career achievements.
Five years ago: Hundreds of concrete slabs, each weighing more than a ton, fell from the roof of a highway tunnel west of Tokyo, crushing vehicles below and killing nine people. Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Led Zeppelin, Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy and ballerina Natalia Makarova received Kennedy Center Honors.
One year ago: Thirty-six people died when fire erupted in an illegally converted warehouse in Oakland, California, during a dance party (two men have pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter). President-elect Donald Trump spoke with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen (tsy ying-WEN') in a highly unusual move that was bound to antagonize China.

Thought for Today: "Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate." - Addison Mizner, American architect (1872-1933).

Paul Dietzel (LSU)
The Quote: “You can learn more character on the two-yard line than anywhere else in life.”
Frank Leahy (Notre Dame)
The Quote: “Lads, you’re not to miss practice unless your parents died or you died.”
John McKay (USC)
The Quote: “We didn’t tackle well today, but we made up for it by not blocking.”
Bear Bryant (Alabama)
The Quote: “I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.”
Greg Schiano (Rutgers)
The Quote: “There are two things every man in America thinks he can do: work a grill and coach football.”

Jay Leno
The Quote: “You know what’s sad about this? Not the gambling, but the best way to reach college athletes is the Cartoon Network.”
Why it's great: This one needs some background to go along with it.
The NCAA chose to launch an ad campaign on Cartoon Network to reach out to college athletes about gambling.
The NCAA decided on the wrong platform to reach college athletes and jokes were surely going to surface.
Murray Warmath (Minnesota)
The Quote: “If lessons are learned in defeat, our team is getting a great education.”
Bobby Bowden (Florida State)
The Quote: “That boy don’t know the meaning of the word fear. In fact, I just saw his grades, and that boy don’t know the meaning of a lot of words.”
Mack Brown (Texas)
The Quote: “Most players don’t mind drug testing once they realize they don’t have to study for it.”
Dan Devine (Notre Dame)
The Quote: “There are two kinds of people in the world, Notre Dame lovers and Notre Dame haters. And, quite frankly, they’re both a pain in the ass.”

Joe Namath (Alabama)
The Quote: “When you win, nothing hurts.”
Dutch Meyer (Texas Christian University)
The Quote: "We'll fight 'em until hell freezes over, then we'll fight 'em on the ice."
Woody Hayes (Ohio State)
The Quote: "Because I couldn't go for three."
Why it's great: Lets get two things straight.
Woody Hayes doesn't know when to stop and Woody Hayes hates Michigan.
Hayes went for two against Michigan, even though he had a 36 point lead. When he was asked about it he dropped this spit-fire quote.
Lou Holtz (Notre Dame)
The Quote: "Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated."
Shug Jordan (Auburn)
The Quote: "Always remember... Goliath was a 40 point favorite over David."

Stupid for TX A&M, only the government would give somebody a 10 year virtually no-cut contract. Ask the Longhorns how that long term coaching concept went for them with Mac Brown . As many stupid coaching decisions as LSU has made they did not fall for the exact same bait and switch game Jimbo tried to pull on them.
Oh, that's right they are playing with other people's money so who gives a chit....... 2018 head coaching cost for the Aggies is only $17.5 million plus whatever it cost to buy out Fishers contract.
