Earl Campbell....Texas Longhorn Heisman trophy winner, Houston Oiler Hall of
Fame running Back. The man had thighs the size of....words fail me...
Suffice to say, they were (and probably still are) HUGE!

Earl Campbell - running back in the late 70s/early 80s for the Houston
Oilers (then the New Orleans Saints). Big thighs - big, big thighs.
Great running back wasted on a bad team.

Here on campus he's got a couple of food stands ("Earl Campbell's Texas
Express"). They serve hamburgers, chopped BBQ sandwiches, etc. but
(unfortunately) no chicken, thus robbing students of the chance to order
Earl Campbell thighs.

During the height of Earl's professional career, I remember reading
somewhere that his thighs were 32" in circumference. Each. His waist,
by comparison, was 34".

Jeez, that'd be like having two whole extra *people* in your pants!

You are, but that's a given. Do continue.

For those who don't know, the LA Lakers were originally the Minneapolis
Lakers (Land of 1000 Lakes). The Utah Jazz were originally the New
Orleans Jazz. I don't know hockey, so I can't comment on Boston. Oh, and
of course, the San Antonio Spurs used to be the Dallas Chapparals.

My favorite pro sports team name of all time, though, is The Anaheim
Amigos of the old ABA. Isn't that the dumbest name you've ever heard?
(Except for "Mighty Ducks". And "Raptors".)

There were rumors (unsubstantiated) that the team would be renamed.

The new monicker? The Tennessee Tuxedoes.

I suppose this depends on getting Don Adams to do their play by play, of course.

I'm well aware of that. I'm saying that since there are darn few bears
native to Boston, precious few lakes in the LA area, and pitifully little
jazz in Utah, the bleedin' names should be changed.

When Joel says the line "He's got Earl Campbell Thighs" I'm sure
the intention was to sing/warble the line like Kim Carnes did in the
song, "Betty Davis Eyes." The line in the song is:
"She's got Betty Davis Eyes."

Earl Campbell Thighs----Betty Davis Eyes

Kinda rhymes. Thanks, Matt Hyra Seattle, WA

Sorry to interrupt, but I've heard that Nashville's name for the
franchise, if it moves, would be the "Pickers." Really. So the chant
would be,
Nashville Pickers, Nashville Pickers, Nashville Pickers are #1....

I really, really hope they are refering to The Grand Ole Opry and not to
noses.
