I think Jim Day may be getting a little disgusted with Votto. Wrapped up his game summation with (as best I recall) " Votto ending game without taking the bat off his shoulder."

Have played this course multiple times. I cannot imagine how anyone (short of using an eraser) could possibly be 24 under after 3 rounds from the tips! These guys are so good and candidly this field is the usual mid-pack guys. Never thought the course was championship caliber; but, these #s are dreamworthy.

And the coaching carousel at BC continues. Wonder what the core problem is? 3 head football coachs in 4 years; 3 head boys basketball in 4 years; 3 head girls in 4 years. Cannot track the minor sport turnover. But, the programs' slippery footing must have a consistent source?

I do not know this for a fact, but I was told a few years ago that Otto Emmelheinz had two sisters that were also teachers....Marion Romo that taught Latin at CCHS and Mary Ellen Lucas that taught history at Beechwood. He was a fun duck to have as a teacher, even back in the early 60's.

Swamprat, you brought a smile to my face. Greatly admire and respect your journey. You have established some deep footprints in the sand.

1st grade teacher, Mrs. Noerker. All of us came from pretty humble backgrounds and 1st grade was our first school experience away from home (no kindergarten in 1952). She made it a point to give each of us (perhaps 20) a few minutes of lap time everyday where she patted us on the shoulder, told us what fine young boys/girls we were and how we could be anything we wanted to be in life. Gave us the confidence to be excited about the future and...

Swamprat, I am horribly confused. Seems like you took first year classes at 5 different colleges. Just curious, am I reading the tea leaves correctly?

Wife and I had been married for 1 year. Was making $100 per week and wife was driving 3 days a week to Morehead. Could not afford a television or telephone even so friends invited us to their apartment to watch it all on their giant (21") console TV. Still feel that stirring feeling of pride for what our space program was able to accomplish.

The only one I ever played.......Pacman. Think I might be showing a lack of tread on my tires?

Ball, ball, and more ball. With the great summer weather we played strike-out against the school building. Strike zone chalked in and 25 cent rubber baseballs (even had seams) that allowed us to squeeze the ball created some really strong action. Rode our bikes about 5 miles each way to compete in two man teams for 6-8 hours. Ground ball not fielded cleanly was a single, anything in the air that hit the bank heading uphill to the road was a...

Did not see the college, but Duluth, Mn is one beautiful town. They call it Little San Francisco for a reason. Ran Grandma's Marathon in 2001, it was one of the most enjoyable and scenic I ever ran. Betty's Pies are almost worth the trip by themselves.

UVA, Notre Dame, William & Mary in that order.

Well, I sure have been put in my place. The real problem is that it doesn't rank high enough to get garage space. Still gets cleaned every 4/5 days. But, a Tahoe is a lot of car for an old man to wash and there is no carwash in A-town.

Black Tahoe and all it has to do is rain and it looks like crud.

Where I get challenged by family members that graduated from UC is when they discuss what they were taught in their sociology and Black History classes about racism. Specifically,"Black Americans cannot be racists, because you must have power before you can be a racists". That confuses me to the max. I believe that if someone prejudges me because I am white and thus they know my every thought....they are guilty of racist traits; just as I...

Class C, knothole...Post 3205 in 1955(?), at age 9. Football at age 11, and basketball at age 10. Played ball sunup to sundown, everyday of the year except when in class.

Fenway....Green Monster....enough said.

So sorry to hear about your loss, Sumo. I pray that your memories are filled with joy that dwarfs the difficulties he experienced these last few years.

I cannot imagine what you are saying as being an accurate portrayal of the Coach Fredericks I saw. Maybe I just missed those games you saw.

Just finished Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance. Golly, saw so many BGP friends in this book, I could not put it down.

Our cable/internet service in Augusta is the pits and is priced at the very top where one should expect incredible. Heaven forbid it rains, we hardly have either one functioning.

Thanks. I injured mine by falling down stairs and jamming elbow upward into socket. No bone issues because I was lucky. But, that shoulder bothered me for two years.

Thought we had no contact during OTAs? How does an O-lineman tear a labrum? Weight room mishap? Grabbing and holding a D-lineman that blew by you? Just don't see how this should happen, unless there were issues before. Anybody know more?

Anybody know how and when this injury happened? Golly, we haven't even had contact yet. Was this injury a carryover from college?

You are probably wrong simply because everything you say makes 100% logical sense. Not many would ever accuse the KHSAA of being guilty of that.

We all got our fill of this egotistical-bully about two years ago. Finally, as Alonzo proved to not be basketball's 2nd coming, ESPN gave Lavar enough exposure to commit the inevitable. Now maybe, the boys can escape from the Lavar-centric world and become whatever they can without the pressures of the constant circus calliopy music.

Beehive Augusta Tavern tonight with bride of 51 years. Celebrating her (##) birthday. Never reveal a lady's age on the internet.

What types of revenues would you be talking about at indoor track? Admission? Concessions?

Rondo career FTs of 61%. Ball at 43% and even worse than that this past year at 41%. Just a terrible shooter and it won't ever become a strength until he fundamentally makes major changes. I am not a shooting coach, but I do know he can practice that awful form forever and he will never be a consistent/dependable shooter.
