    Most Disappointing Athletic Fail

    7th Grade Basketball. Jump ball in the opponents end of the court. (Obviously this happened a long time ago since we actually had jump balls when there was a tie ball.) The tip comes to me, I turn around and score 2 points ... for the other team. All my teammates leave me and the other team...

    Your greatest athletic achievement/moment

    Both best moments are from baseball one from Little League and the other in Babe Ruth. In the Little League Championship game I had the game winning hit which was a broken bat single over the 2nd baseman's glove. It was a long at bat with a lot of foul balls. I still have the broken bat and...

    Morrissey at the Surf Ballroom

    He said he is retiring from touring after this one so this maybe the last chance to see him live. The Surf Ballroom must be on his "bucket list".

    Morrissey at the Surf Ballroom

    Morrissey was originally scheduled to play October 30th. His mom was ill back in England so he went back home to be with her. The event has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 5th. My wife is dying to go, me ... just being a good husband.

    Boat accessory help

    Motors that small usually don't have an alternator to charge the cranking battery. The trolling battery will need to be charged. I have a 3 bank Minn Kota on-board charger for my three batteries, 2 trolling and the starter. Minn Kota is the leader of the pack when it comes to on-board...

    What video convertor did you use and do you have a mac or pc? I just can't get the Iowa game to work but the OK St. game works fine. I'm downloading the other games now. I've been using UnRarX and playing the media on VLC. It seems to work just not for the Iowa game. I'll see how the other...

    Virginia Tech Preview and Predictions

    Those are 2 names I remember. Both are older than me, I graduated in '84, but I remember watching Mitch wrestle at the high school when I was a kid. He was involved with the summer youth baseball program when I is in it too. Both good people.

He lived just down the street from me and I remember going to his basement to wrestle with all the other neighborhood kids. They had a partial wrestling mat down in the...

    Feels like 1985

    We were one of the few groups tailgating in the North student tailgating parking lot that day. It was so cold we just set the keg on the ground no tub or ice needed. There was a car load of girls driving from tailgate to tailgate getting drinks and food. One of the coldest games I've been too...

    Poor Sportsmanship - ISU vs. Texas Edition

    There were 2 Texas "fans" in section L that were asked to leave by security. They were just being dumb obnoxious UT fans, standing the whole time and running their mouth. Most everyone else in my section (K) were good natured. There were 4 younger college aged kids booing UT fans as they came...
