re: Best April's Fools Sports story ever?

The story itself wasn't that great but my uncles reaction to one Tulane did some years ago was epic.

This was when Chris Scelfo was head coach and Tulane posted an article about how the school was going to break ground on a new stadium...... In Chris Scelfos back yard.... Article went on to say that the drive was getting to be a hassle for the coach and that he could spend more time doing coaching duties... (Yes I know a stadium in Scelfos back yard might be big enough lol). So anyway I tell my uncle this, and he is usually very quick and can spot this type of thing so I don't know if I caught him on an off day but he went into full meltdown mode... Was telling me this is the final straw for him being a Tulane fan.... What had Scelfo done to deserve such accommodations, went into the whole deal about parking, schools using it against us in recruiting. It got tot he point that I thought he was just messing with me, and when I realized he was being serious I couldn't hold the laughter in. I busted out laughing and there was silence on his end. He said its April 1st..... Called me a dick and hung up lol.
