James Madison is 9-0. Since moving to FBS last year, it is 17-3, playing 18 FBS opponents. And the NCAA won’t allow the Dukes to play in a bowl?
NCAA, meet common sense. Maybe you two could get along. https://t.co/MRfIDoCqKu

One of the earliest photos of a surfer at Waikiki Beach, carrying an alaia board in 1898.
While reading about the history of surfing, I came across this passage in a travelogue called "Roughing It" by Mark Twain, which was published in 1872. Apparently, Twain was one of the earliest writers to have witnessed surfing in the Hawaiian Kingdom. He writes:
"In one place, we came upon a large company of naked natives, of both sexes and all ages, amusing themselves with the national pastime of surf-bathing. Each heathen would paddle three or four hundred yards out to sea (taking a short board with him), then face the shore and wait for a particularly prodigious billow to come along; at the right moment, he would fling his board upon its foamy crest and himself upon the board, and here he would come whizzing by like a bombshell! It did not seem that a lightning express-train could shoot along at a more hair-lifting speed.
I tried surf-bathing once, subsequently, but made a failure of it. I got the board placed right, and at the right moment, too, but missed the connection myself. The board struck the shore in three-quarters of a second, without any cargo, and I struck the bottom about the same time, with a couple of barrels of water in me. None but natives ever master the art of surf-bathing thoroughly."
