Just got word from the man himself that my dear friend and alum "Nasty" Nate Biller (COL '04) will be competing in the Nathans Hot Dog eating contest on the 4th of July in Coney Island. He got in after winning a qualifier in Dallas in OT. Nate has become a nationally ranked competitive eater after winning many contests on the Hilltop. He does have a real life though - he's in grad school at NYU and even took Esherick's class last semester. For the full story: www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/062208dnmethotdogcontest.3a8b987.htmlDon't know if I can make it up there from DC but I'm sure as heck gonna try. |

In the end, my former GU roommate "Nasty" Nate (there's a random TVBP for ya) and his Kanye West-inspired glasses ate 18.5 dogs in 10 minutes, which was good for 18th of 21 gustatory athletes. www.ifoce.com/news.php?action=detail&sn=612In the end, I ask you which is truly more impressive development: Roy Hibbert going from Big Stiff to 17th pick, or Nate going from a meal plan at Darnall to a competitive eating career? Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go to Kenner and figure out if Austin Freeman is fat.  |

It goes to show how far competitive eating has become when we're NOT impressed by a guy eating 19 hot dogs in ten minutes.

59 hot dogs, or 50 in ten minutes is just so much that it doesn't seem real.
19 in ten minutes seems absolutely disgusting. Seriously, I can't remember eating more than 2 hot dogs in the longest time.
