...park floor. Fishermen can cast their flies -and hopes-after the three-pound rainbow and cutthroat trout that make their homes in the mountain lakes and countless streams that crisscross Montana's million-acre Glacier National Park. River runners can launch themselves and their specially designed rubber boats down the foaming Colorado for a 277-mile run or trek into Texas' Big Bend National Park and try taking kayaks down the sinuous stretches of the Rio Grande...

I know all you uninitiated think that the football team dines on juicy sirloin steak but you are so, so wrong; Mario, the V-Club cook, serves up a plate of scrambled eggs that look like those rubber gimmicks that you lay on the floor to gross out the girls in the sixth grade and with that comes your "steak," a sad old piece of meat that chews like old shoe leather, so you don't eat much of anything and you are already so nervous that...
