...finished doing it last Saturday against Auburn, except he is not finished. A trip to the Cotton Bowl is set for January, and then he will start planning for next fall. As time goes on-and Bryant, 68, says he is going on with it-there may be no catching Bear. For now, there may be no knowing him, except through his players and assistants. At least they can share the feeling of knowing him. And not just by their Bear stories, as fun as those are. The stories are as picturesque as he is, and they...

In a move that has made Dallas aghast, a group of Houston boosters is offering college football's Southwest Conference $3 million in cash to lure the postseason Cotton Bowl game from Dallas, where it has been played for the past 45 years.

In all three sets of tests, results were the same: subjects were generally able to sniff out the shirts worn by their mates, and both men and women considered male odors more unpleasant than female odors. But when women selected the shirts they thought belonged to their...
