Odds and ends
So pro football's back, good for it. I'm not as fired up about the NFL resuming business -- and I do mean business -- as I am about the return of college football. The good news is the programs I care most about -- that's South Carolina and Georgia Southern -- are expected to fare well. The bad news is the Gamecocks are expected to fare well. For some reason, I'm not comfortable knowing South ...
Welsh a part of history
By Jeff Whitten We may not see the likes of Thomson High School football coach Luther Welsh again, at least not in the coaching ranks. Maybe not in education at all. And more's the pity. Welsh, 78, died July 14 after a long battle with cancer and only months after he stepped down after 54 years coaching -- 43 of them as a head coach. It was a career that deserves the title "legendary." Welsh ...
Ugly plates on the way
This isn't about sports. It's about ugly license plates. According to this story at http://beta.bryancountynews.net/section/49/article/14167/, we're going to get new license plates here in Georgia next year and the design will be one of the three shown in the story.(Click on the link to see what I'm talking about ... ) I vote for No. 3, but only because there are no better options. People actually voted for these designs?What was wrong with the ...
Coaching legend dies
Luther Welsh was a fine man and a great coach. He will be remembered fondly. http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-high-school-sports/2011/07/14/legendary-georgia-high-school-football-coach-hospitalized/?cxntfid=blogs_georgia_high_school_sports
Tillman deserves spot in Pro Football Hall of Fame
There's been a debate lately over whether Pat Tillman belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame. No debate here. If anyone belongs in pro football's equivalent of Valhalla, it's Tillman, a 2000 Pro Bowler who in 2002 turned down a contract offer from the Cards for $3.6 million over three years to join the military nine months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. And he didn't get a job in the rear, either. Tillman served ...
Crazy drivers, college football and a wolfman
Random questions, sports-related and not. - What is it about the weekend that makes people drive like they need to find a restroom in 30 seconds or there's going to be an accident? It becomes a combination of odd, weird, ugly, gnarly, goofy - and occasionally scary - out there on the road. - Why is that drivers on 144 in Richmond Hill will go around you so they can stop in front of you ...
A Tuesday riff
A Tuesday riff Quote of the day "Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." G.K. Chesterton Link of the day: You've got to check this out. Hilarious. Good clean American fun. http://manbabies.com/popular OK, enough of that. It's almost been too hot to blog, lately. This because there's not A/C in this part of the BCN headquarters in downtown Richmond Hill. . Still, one makes do and drives on. Hope you all ...
Sad story
I can still remember watching as Houston led North Carolina State with seconds left, can still vividly recall the long airballt from Dereck Whittenbug, then Lorenzo Charles catching the ball aat the basket and dunking it at the buzzer -- then Jim Valvano running around looking for somebody to hug. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - It's one of the most lasting images from the NCAA basketball tournament. A buzzer-beating two-handed dunk by muscular forward Lorenzo ...
No rhyme, no reason. Just stuff about sports
By Jeff Whitten No rhyme, no reason. Just stuff for the Sports Blog at bryancountynews.net: - If one booster club is good, five or six should be better. Or maybe not. There's evidently something of a debate going on in Richmond Hill High School circles over whether to combine booster clubs for various sports into one. Should be interesting. Might even be entertaining. - I don't care whether the NFL plays this fall or the ...
Matthews introduced as Rangers top draft pick
This video is from MLB.com. It shows the Rangers introducing draft picks Kevin Matthews, Zach Cone and Jonathan Bryant on Saturday in Atlanta. I apologize for the delay in getting it up, but I didn't know it existed until today. That's Tuesday.
Kevin Matthews 360-dunk
You've probably read about it by now -- but if not, word got out that Richmond Hill's Kevin Matthews, recently drafted No. 1 by the Texas Rangers, is not only a pretty good baseball player, he also can play some hoops and can do a 360-degree dunk.
Oh, poor Lebron
Never thought I'd say it, but I'm starting to feel sorry for Lebron James. Yes, he's the most physically gifted player in the NBA and makes more in a day than I earn all year. Sure, he's got millions of adoring fans (though I'm not one), so he doesn't need my pity. But for all that, he's probably the most hated athlete in the U.S. Lebron simply can't win. Five reasons I don't like Lebron ...
Yes, I was surprised
Not to name drop, but a couple of hours ago I got off the phone with Kevin Matthews, the former Richmond Hill High School ace turned Texas Rangers No. 1 draft pick.
Baseball draft is Monday, could have local angle
Pro scouts followed Richmond Hill High School lefthanded pitcher Kevin Matthews around with radar guns and notebooks all spring.
