Given the era, I wonder if the paper was still using hot type typesetting with manual text alignment. The narrow column width makes it more difficult to evenly spread spacing to get right hand justification and at some point the typesetter just said "good enough, ship it".

Provide a clear, sensible and descriptive title for your post. "Tyrod Taylor..." is not a clear descriptive title. "Tyrod Taylor to Play Entire Preseason Game" is.

I bet we unlocked his ideal pitch right away and just spammed it the remainder of the recruiting season. I hope it came with the all valuable green jewel as well

I saw him play when I was a freshman, but don't remember anything but the miserable weather, getting beaten, then having the best steak of my life from a grill with an outside window that was able to serve the whole bus full of Highty Tighties. Liberty bowl against Ole Miss in Memphis. I still rhapsodize about that damn steak, cooked on a flat grill crowded with meat. I didn't have high hopes for the food, but that grill guy surprised me in a way that I'll remember always and will forever compare any steak I eat with that humble, skinny slice of meat. Yeah, the steak was more memorable than seeing Beamer play, sue me.

Off topic, but what I found interesting in the article was the way some of the text justification was implemented in only a single word, e.g.:
I don't believe I have ever seen it done that way. Interesting article find, nonetheless.
Link? All I see is a broken picture in the OP.
No link to be had. It is just a photo of an old newspaper article. Not sure why it is broken for you...
I think he's confused because the paragraph references are off. Confused me at least.
It's because I'm at work, and work doesn't like .co links. /shrug
Reading "The Gobblers" in an actual newspaper was a little jarring for my whipper snapper eyeballs I must say.
Love the quote at the end, "doesn't want to get whipped"
Rolls off the tongue easier than "Doesn't want to get gotten after."

Let him cook. I just appreciated the old article.
Pay the kid his NIL, stat!

You know that might be the most understandable post that Bstreet has made.

Same season as chancellor

Sometimes the real hero of the day appears out of nowhere from an unexpected place.
First thought was Shane?!
Eye thought... a few percent (younger/thinner) crew-cut: Jim Carrey.
