on Nov 21, 2009 12:40:36 am - 318 views | 5 comments

What's happening, good people! Well, as I often do at 4 a.m. in the morning, today I was thinking about the upcoming high school FB match ups. (No really, I have no life and have nothing better to do in the predawn hours of the morning). This is THE round that decides who gets to go off and play in the state championship venue. A real "Win or Go Home" situation....

Bulletin Board Material, Quarterfinal Football Edition
on Nov 21, 2009 12:40:36 am - 609 views | 2 comments

What's going on, kids! The power of the bulletin board lives on... even when I haven't posted a thing in weeks. You'd be surprised - or maybe not - about the number of e-mails from folks who have taken offense with something I've written or that I haven't written. It's kinda confusing but I just think it's the playoffs. Puts people on the edge. So.... why not add...

The Showdown at The Slip N' Slide: Part 1
on Nov 21, 2009 12:40:36 am - 879 views | 0 comments

It was Aquinas-Washburn Rural in a huge fixture last night as the regular season began to wind down. Aquinas was #1 in 5A, and #1 overall in the state. Washburn was #1 in 6A, and #2 overall. Aquinas' coach Craig Ewing told me last week that he was worried about this game. And when the varsity/JV team arrived for the JV game yesterday, it started raining. Not a light...

Hola amigos y amigas. I've been busy tracking down this Blue Springs wrestling story for the past two days so now I finally have time to post some Bulletin Board Material (better late than never, eh?) Bishop Miege at Blue Valley North. The Mustangs had a nice bounce-back win last week over BV West and RB James Hennahane, especially, stepped up. But if Miege...

What's good, people? Today's a writing day for me - got a big story brewing - but I just wanted to pop in for a quick spell. I know last week I didn't post any Bulletin Board Material but I'll get around to Week 7 picks tomorrow (Thursday) Also, I just want to answer my new friend "Leonides," he's the one with the dude from "300" in his avatar. Here's what...

Kansas Football: East vs. West
on Nov 21, 2009 12:40:36 am - 2099 views | 6 comments

It may be a little early, but I don't think so! No one , not even the respected sports analysts, wants to discuss play-off football on the eastside of the state. I have seen the westside full of chatter about prospects, division change ups, play-off makers and even a few that have down right picked their winners for state champion. Here, in the KC Metro, I guess...

Gotta thank KU wordsmith Tyshawn Taylor for introducing me to this new phase "point plankn." I must be getting old because I have no clue what it means - but hey, I can borrow it for this special occassion. Yes, friends. Last Friday night, my predictions started out a bit rough with losses from Blue Springs South and Winnetonka but I rallied back to go 6-3...
