I'll give the guy a lot of props. Even though he oversold himself and his journey a bit it is still an incredible tale and a testament to human stubbornness and perseverance when it goes to accomplishing goals. He may be an idiot but he made it when no one had any faith in him

Speaking of goals, when I was a freshman learning about all the traditions at A&M, someone was talking about kissing your date when the Aggies scored a touchdown. "But sometimes when it's really bad, we will kiss on first downs," she said (those were the Fran years).

This guy fumbled the ball for three quarters and then some time near the end of regulation managed to move the chains against the opponent's third string.

Actually per my Dad, Class of 65, the first down kissing was started in his time at school. That was the Folberg era and his win record 4, 3, 2, 1. Needless to say that was worse then Fran.

I believe you. I just didn't learn about any of this until the Fran years.

I'm willing to bet anything this fraud ends up on talk shows and gets all sorts of media attention. Maybe he will fly in a faulty 737 on his way back....there's still hope!

Dang, saw the bump and got excited.

Notice he didn't mention his crunchy traveling companion in that post either.

this.

hadn't seen this thread in a LONG time, was totally critical and convinced this guy was going to be insurgent bait laughing at him along the way, but stepping back he did something that few-to-none of the readers of this thread would ever try, and had a hell of a journey.

props to him in spite of the occasional stupidity. in an age of snowflakes, he showed some grit.

just my view.
We're from North California, and South Alabam
and little towns all around this land...

He didn't come through Lundazi. I think he took photos using a green screen.

I will admit, he exceeded my expectations and deserves credit for mostly* making it around the continent alive.

This is what you get if you go for a ride with me in Africa. Land Cruiser or GTFO.
