Quick End For The Mad Hatter
Just maybe those blades of grass inside Tiger Stadium have a special flavor. I wouldn’t have thought that until Les Miles plucked a few and gave them a chew. The hat always seemed too small, but he didn’t seem to mind. And there were the odd hand claps when he was cheering on the »
