This has zilch to do with “watermelon wine” except I’ve always liked that song. College Football ’07 is one quarter done and the long knives and long faces are appearing like toadstools after a summer rain. …..
Nobody’s Fault… It’s a “meat store” in SE Missouri but it could be a drug store in your town or a haberdashery or a 3-chair barbershop, or cozy little restaurant that your folks patronized and now you do. At the end of Sept Esicar’s will “go dark”.
I figured I’d wait and be the last pundit to discuss Bill Belichek’s “cheating”. Like pretty much anything in sports, it is simply a petri dish of society. Week Four of college football and local partisans begrudgingly acknowledge….
…. Football Is Life!. If you’ve played Football, you have heard The Football Is Life speech. No one ever gave that speech any better than feisty ol’ George “Meatball” Thompson…..
America’s Coach Jim Grobe’s Deacons treated Butch’s Tar Heels like Red Sox treat Rockies. When Wake Forest “shows mercy” to The Mighty Flagship with ten minutes still to play, the preceding 50 minutes are not destined for any highlight video.
Who’d a thought it ??? …. Butch, Jim Harbaugh Charlie The Hutt and Clint Hurdle each have more Ws in October than Urban, Pete, Mack and Sweet Lou COMBINED!
Surely you’ve seen it. This week’s national YouTube passaround …. OklaState FB Coach Mike Gundy going KABOOM nutzo at a reporter-ette over an article about one of his players.
NEVER NEVER NEVER …. pay any attention to the manic screechings of someone with whom you would avoid eye contact on an elevator….
We knew “GameDay” would “hit a homer” with you regulars and plenty of drive by readers and it did. …. Some follow-up on that…. But now the stars are aligned for all sorts of silliness upon which to expound…..
They tore down the goalposts at Kidd Brewer Field in Boone on Saturday afternoon but the Mountaineer players didn’t see it …. They were at “The Big House” in Ann Arbor….. If you follow college football at all you’ve heard the shocker
The “media is swarming” as “Infrastructure is crumbling” while “temperatures are soaring” …. As “Barry is homering” …. Courageous “Lizzy is lamenting” …. Over at NC State, “volunteers are vesting”.
Eerie …. Thursday afternoon I was in an e-discussion with a Wake Forest Deacon when the news broke about Skip Prosser. We were analyzing the state of Deacon sports, he from an inside and me from an outside perspective.
… 90 Days and counting. I promised you guys a comprehensive update on two local college FB programs…. I have arbitrarily chosen UNC & NCSU for such, I hope that’s OK with most of you.
That’s my new favorite quote from Dieneces, right-hand Spartan to Leonidas at Thermopylae. We bring you up to date on El Tigre …. Backflipping Carl … The Boys of Boshamer …. And, yes, a few words about hat little dust-up over in Derm.
