Attack of The Text Message
I was at the mall this past weekend, a daunting task to begin with when you consider it was the first “official” Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza/”Other Holiday I’m Not Familiar With” shopping weekend. People fighting over sweaters at 40% Off clearance tables, long lines at every register, parking spaces that required a Disneyland-type shuttle that would speed you to The [...]
Kansas vs. Missouri: Great for College Football
Let’s face it, when you think KU vs. Mizzou, it’s the Border War on the hardwood that comes to mind. Be it Allen Fieldhouse, Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Norm Stewart, The Antlers and so much more, these two universities, alumni, students and fan bases simply don’t see eye-to-eye.

Lloyd Carr and Phillip Fulmer: One Leaves with Dignity, the Other…
It’s doubtful fans of the Michigan Wolverines and the Tennessee Volunteers would ever agree on much.

Misguided, short-sighted and just plain ignorant? Absolutely. But worthy of him being fired? Hardly. And yet, good soldiers that they are, the Reverends Jesse [...]
Notre Dame Football: When Losing Helps Everyone

How about The Four Horsemen, Rockne, the 7 Heisman Trophy winners or 9-loss seasons with games yet to play? Say what? Notre Dame has [...]
The Blog is Here!! Great…Now What?
All this build-up and yet….what? By my count, this is blog number 1,745,963 with the actual entry count of all blogs now up to 74,352,891. The phrase “just a number” takes on new meaning when you really begin to break down the whole notion of blogs. Much like my “About” page, I debated for quite [...]
Opening Night: 11/11
I have high hopes that unlike so many Broadway plays over the years, this Blog won’t close on the account of bad reviews.
