Let’s Try Again… My Week Four AP Vote
Posted by wxii12.com blogs at 9/23/2007 9:18 PM

   Since some are convinced I’ve had no idea what I was doing with my AP vote the first three weeks, I divert your attention to this week’s USA Today coaches’ poll.  Coaches obviously know what they’re doing, which explains why [...]

The First Weekend of College Football
Posted by wxii12.com blogs at 9/3/2007 11:17 PM

   Since I’m an AP voter this year, I figured I should watch a little more college football.  That was, until I spent nearly all day Saturday glued to the tube.

What Did We Learn?
Posted by wxii12.com blogs at 8/10/2007 12:07 PM

   Of the hundreds of Skip Prosser tributes I read and heard, one of the common themes was what a great teacher he was.  It should be obvious that his players and staff learned a lot from him.  But what about the rest of us?  What [...]

Holding my Skip Prosser bobblehead on the night of his passing, I broke down in tears as if I had lost a family member. I never got the honor to meet Coach Prosser but yet once the news of his passing hit I became an emotional mess.
