THE MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL RAISES A GLASS AND A SEVEN IRON

Today, Rich Brooks turns 73. In that time, he has seen some unusual things - the last 0-0 tie, the drafting of Lawrence Phillips, a Kentucky bowl victory over Florida State. Brooks retired from coaching four years ago, and since then he has dedicated himself to living the finest and most ballinest life possible. Observe:

The man doesn't live life to the fullest. He lives life to the point where it's overflowing out of the damn goblet but screw it this ain't even our fancy table runner. Happy birthday, Coach Brooks. Go ride an ostrich while eating a BLT.
