When the gun sounded on Detroit's 59-14 victory over Cleveland in the 1957 championship game, hundreds of fans stormed the field and carried linebacker and captain Joe Schmidt and quarterback Tobin Rote off on their shoulders.One of those fans became a famous collegiate head coach.A week later, 18-year-old Riverview High senior Bill McCartney was delighted to open Sports Illustrated and see himself -- identified by his varsity jacket -- in the crowd carrying Schmidt off the field."My high school band was invited to play at the game, and the director asked me if I would like to come along, so I got in without a ticket and stood on the field," said McCartney, the former University of Colorado football coach and founder of the Promise Keepers."I was a linebacker, and Joe Schmidt was my hero, so I immediately ran to him at the end of that unforgettable game. It was such a thrill to be there on the field with Schmidt and later showing everyone the Sports Illustrated photo."

2007-09-28 17:32:00
Opening night of VAN HALEN's long-awaited reunion with David Lee Roth literally kicked off with several of Roth's highflying kicks at Charlotte Bobcats Arena on Thursday, although Eddie Van Hale n was the first to appear on stage with one of his own signature hurky-style jumps.The last time VAN HALEN performed in Charlotte with Roth as its frontman, he had just turned 30, gas was $1.21 a gallon and tickets to the show at the old Charlotte Coliseum were $12.50.Twenty-three years later, the band's original members are all over 50 and guitarist Eddie Van Halen's 16-year-old son Wolfgang has replaced original bassist Michael Anthony.The show sold out in a matter of minutes in August, and the arena was packed when the band hit the stage around 8:30 p.m., following a short but sweet set of pop and reggae-tinged R&B by Kymani Marley.Fans assumed after well-publicized fighting, ill will and a couple of false starts over the past 11 years that the group would never reunite. But earlier th...

Wedding superstitions
2007-09-28 05:23:00
Superstition, as of today's understanding, is thought to derive from the Latin words "super" (over, beyond) and "sto, stare" (to stand). Therefore, superstion means one who overly stands, or not being progressive. However, as all of the "new" religious beliefs were being spread from big city to big city, all the people who were in the country didn't receive the word, so they kept doing what they had been doing for a long time. Their beliefs were eccentric when they moved into big cities. They were "superstitious" because they weren't doing what was new. Evenutally the English word "superstition" came to imply a religion-like belief that stands outside the bounds of clerical religion.In modern English, the term "superstition" is also used to refer to folkloric belief systems, often with the intention of deriding another culture's concept of the spiritual world.Many superstitions arose before and during the time of the Black Plague that swept over Europe. During the time of the Bl...
