Some great matchups in central Illinois, with some interesting times due to some schools being at Redbird for volleyball. So within travel distance one can drive to a 1 pm start, then take an hours drive to catch another one! Some intriguing matchups are at Athens, Fieldcrest, Wethersfield, and Will...

Still early, but Alabama will still be the 4th team in. All they have to do is win out and have a little help. I predict that Georgia will be the biggest obstacle, not Oregon. Need LSU to whip Georgia in the SEC championship. Bama has been in everyone of the new formats and gets the edge. Even thou ...

Might as well play flag football in the NFL. Back to reading the PJS and taking a nap.

It has started as 3rd base coach Brian Butterfield has joined Maddon’s staff with the Angels. Ross has indicated that he hoped to retain several of the coaches. I am hopeful that Ross does a good job as Cubs manager, but am concerned that Girardi got picked up right after Ross was named the Cubs man...

Sounds like IUIPUI 2018. Need to rebound pretty quickly.

Blame it on Dave Reynolds!

Sounds much like last year, blame it all on bad officiating, no team play, on and on. Need to chance the mindset. Just too much hype. Good team should overcome these things.

Not near a radio, can I update the score occasionally?

I spoke with Mast at the spaghetti dinner. He seems like a genuine straight up guy. Also has a class that a professor friend of mine teaches. He speaks very highly of him.

And I am sure it was be crazy in Tuscaloosa In Saturday!

The Bears offense came alive and did their job. This is on defense for not getting any stops in the 4th.

These suspension’s before the conference season s are a joke, whatever the reason. Sounds real tough, however as long as their back for conference games, then all is well. And guess who BU gets first, you guessed it the Bulldogs. Hope he checks the gun at the gate!

Has to be one of the best thought of ideas on ESPN. Especially now as they are featuring places like Brooking SD and today Beal Street is a madhouse in Memphis! If you like College football, you will like College Game Day.

The Nagy press conference after the loss was really bad. He was questioned for not trusting the offense, instead of taking a knee. The more he tried to talk, the bigger the hole grew. We hired a coach who didn’t favor the run. Seems like nothing really changed, except he doesn’t trust the run or the...

According to news today, they are pretty close. I do think they need 3 days of practice, which would include Wednesday if they do settle. My prediction is yes, as a sports forfeit will did undo harm to the cause of either side.

I never ever like leaving the game in the hands of a kicker. Especially the Bears should have figured that out. Meanwhile Parkey is kicking for the Titans.

Can the IHSA Network get anything right!? Blank screen as we try to watch the playoff pairings. Just freakin embarrassing.

Perhaps Espada, the Houston bench coach who just got a 2nd interview. He is a analytics guy who helped grow the Houston farm system.

Was at the Morton/Limestone game last night. I saw perhaps one of the best catches for a TD that I have seen at any level by a Limestone receiver. Hope that it makes the highlight reels on local television. If anyone had a feed to see this catch, please post it.

As far as districts, there will be another vote this fall after the playoffs. I was told that from two sources who would know.

I was told by a member of school board association that the team is eligible even though they are on strike, if they qualify. If they cannot play as a result, then they will forfeit.

Apparently the Cubs are not sold on Ross or Girardi, since they continue to give interviews from the trash pile. Angels had not problem in getting there guy. Probably the one Cubs should have kept.

This new proposal has flaws, much like the district proposal. This new idea will not have the support of the Executive Board in its present form. They would be better off in delaying the entire reorganization until a well thought out plan in proposed.

It will be interesting to see which way the Cubs now go with managerial pick. Cardinals stayed within the organization and you see where they are now. Plucking out millions for a manager and players don’t always produce results. Cub fans see that!!!
