Looks Like TCU's Offense Wasn't the Only Shit Left at Amon G Carter Late in the Season
FORT WORTH - A report from the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality indicates that thousands of gallons of sewage were accidentally funneled from a locker room adjacent to TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium into a nearby drainage ditch during the past six months. The concrete ditch eventually runs through the Colonial Country Club area and into the Trinity River.
"The problem has been corrected, authorities have inspected the work, and there does not appear to have been harm to the water quality or eco-life," the university said in a statement.
The line problem has since been fixed, and the report states the City of Fort Worth's Environmental Services Division inspected the area in question and gave the all clear.
According to a report, during recent renovations a sewer line for a redone locker room was inadvertently attached to a storm line that runs underneath the field, which funnels into the channel behind the stadium. Initial estimates were that more than 20,000 gallons of sewage water could have been released, but the actual figure is less than half that, according to the state.
Students like Kimberly McCleary were surprised to hear about the mistake. "It's unbelievable," McCleary said.
I knew I smelled something a bit pungent while watching Boykin's offense stall out over the last two games like Dan Marino's marriage. I just thought every OU fan smelled like an over-flowing port-a-potty left out in a Texas summer. At any rate, guess it wouldn't be good for the Colonial if they had to scoop out 10,000 pounds of the last journey of Stansly Maponga's chicken strips from the Trinity. Maybe if they made Casey Pachall do it with only a flimsy bucket and weak gag reflex, then at least attendance could rival the Grambling game.
By the Way - Yea, I omit stuff from the original articles, but I didn't touch this student quote. Some crack reporter at Channel 8 went all the way to TCU for a story about shit, and literally came away with it. Stopped some freshman Elementary Ed major on the steps of Colby Hall (that's still there, right?), scribbled two words, and thought... "OK, that's good. Better get over to Blue Mesa before happy hour's over." Real A+ reporting.
