    Smylie Kaufman now has one of the most unique wedges on Tour. The 24-year-old Kaufman showed off his Cleveland wedge that had "RIP HARAMBE" stamped on it on Snapchat on Monday.

    Cincinnati Zoo evacuated after threat, police say
    CINCINNATI -- Some people were evacuated from the Cincinnati Zoo due to a threat Thursday afternoon.

    A threat was made over the phone, police said. There was also a report of a suspicious package.

    K-9 units were sweeping the zoo.


    The zoo released the following statement:

    "The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden safely evacuated staff and guests today around 3:30 p.m. as a precaution after an unspecified threat was called into Cincinnati Police. The Zoo takes all threats seriously. We will continue to work with Cincinnati Police to ensure the Zoo remains a safe environment."

    Now that U. of Maryland is B1G, I think you have to include the National Zoo in the B1G rankings.
    Also, any zoo without a panda is automatically second tier. It's zoological science.

    I was obviously joking. I've never been to the Toledo Zoo, nor did I know about their accolades.

    It's only a two hour drive, I will have to make it.

    I have the opposite opinion. I think enclosures should allow even more access so more stupid people get attacked.

    “Instead of paying for food, what if the food paid to get in” is a great sell for potential future investment
