There have been memorable moments in the U.S. Open before. Tom Watson’s chip-in at Pebble Beach. Ben Hogan’s 1950 win months after a career-threatening car accident. Hale Irwin’s victory celebration at Medinah in 1990 and Payne Stewart’s putt to win at Pinehurst n 1999 in what would be his final victory.
But none match the magnitude [...]
Today is the NFL Draft.
I’ll watch. What else am I going to watch on this Saturday? It’s April and after The Masters there isn’t much going on sports wise until you get to the Kentucky Derby next weekend.
The pick to watch is Atlanta at No. 3. The consensus thought is that the Falcons will use [...]
W.Va. Gov. Joe Manchin was elected to his first term in 2004. Since that time, it could easily state that Manchin is more concerned with the state’s future in athletics.
Take for note that Manchin was the lead negotiator in the creation of the Friends of Coal Bowl (jokingly referred to as the Friends of Joe [...]
It’s a beautiful day here in Kentucky. The sun is out. It’s about 70-plus degrees. A great day for some golf.
Yes, golf.
I haven’t been able to play in a few weeks because of my arm issues and today I had the need for 18 holes of frustration, long putts, lost balls, and water hazards. Actually, [...]
World leaders have been placed under increased pressure recently by protesters to skip the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics in China. Protesters, regardless of whether you agree with their actions of attempting to stop the Olympic torch run, have brought sunshine on anti-Tibet policies by the Chinese government and other human rights infractions as [...]
It’s Time for the Masters.
So sit back, enjoy the Azaleas, and enjoy four days of the best golf all year long.
Oh, and this great theme music for a sports tournament. I could hear this song 365 days a year (366 this year) and never get tired of it.
My prediction is Tiger Woods. Other possible bets: [...]
It’s March … It’s Madness. It’s Gus Johnson Time. (If you’ve not noticed, Gus Johnson is this bloggers favorite NCAA announcer. He’s almost more interesting than the game at times.)
But, the brackets are out, which means tomorrow no work will be done as office pools are initiated and brackets are to be passed out and [...]
Here are a collection of thoughts from the week that was in life, sports, politics, and everything else we can think of:
It was horrifying to hear again of another campus shooting this time at Northern Illinois. Steven Kazmierczak opened fire on a classroom at the DeKalb, Ill., school before turning the gun on himself. In [...]
Spring training is about to being soon, which means that most of my time outside of class will be spent checking the scores for the St. Louis Cardinals.
With baseball starting soon, and because I need some lackluster fluff for the weekend, here are my thoughts for the upcoming baseball season:
- We have seen the last [...]
We’ve ignored our favorite topic recently of the Rich Rodriguez Saga involving West Virginia University, sports agents, and the University of Michigan. We’ll return to it this afternoon only because the absurdity coming out of Morgantown is hard to ignore, today.
Rodriguez continues to claim that West Virginia University was in the wrong and that’s why [...]
