An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula.
Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching. Items will be added to this weblog as we find them. With luck and time there will be new things to read about every day, so check back with us frequently.

Joe Burns, Ph.D.... And Remember: College football is going to get
underway soon and already people are talking about who
will win the Heisman Trophy. I can't comment on that
but I can tell you that the model for the trophy was
Warren Mulrey of Fordham University. Frank Eliscu
sculpted the face. Trouble was, the first sculpture showed
a smile on the stature's face. Eliscu changed the face to a
snarl because he felt football players were fighters. The
uniform Eliscu used for the sculpture was taken from a
photo of Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago.
Those of you who know football trivia might find that
last fact rather interesting past the historical. Jay
Berwanger was the first player to win the Heisman. Go
figure.
