Eric: Pacman at it again, this time in Atlanta strip Club. This guy is begging to get kicked out of the NFL. Or at least drop his friends, who were actually involved in the shooting.
Corbin: "Crackman Jones" has been in the League for 2 years and arrested 5 times. Now from my opinion i think that that is a little rediculous. This kid is recieving bookoo bucks dont you think either he could either respect his team and stay out of trouble or atleast buy some new friends "since they are the ones who were shooting".
Eric: Bookoo? Yeah, try $1.3 million this year. That's what he's out if he does indeed serve the full year suspension. The sad thing, I think is the Titans haven't done or said anything. Of course, you can't cut a guy that's on suspension from the league, but I would tell him he's done as soon as he's off suspension. At this point, he's just embarrassing.
Corbin: He's Almost like TO.. yea he could be good but its guys like this that can ruin a team and a teams reputation. Sure he's good but look how many other corners are out there that could replace him. Its not like he is the foundation of the team he won't really be missed if he is released.

Racing on the high banks
Sunday night brings the World of Outlaws and MARS Late models to Belleville, with Jayhusker minisprints on the short track. Of course the big news from yesterday was the confirmation that Scott Bloomquist will run his late model. This is kinda like Terrence Newman playing a pick up game of flag football at the high school. HUGE, news. Expect to show up early if you want a good seat, they could be hard to come by.
Especially interesting, for me anyway, will be to watch some of the "locals" like Kelly Boen and Steve Kosiski run with the "big dogs." Kelly has basically dominated late model races here for 2 years, but can't put the money into his engine the guys like Bloomquist do. But Boen and the others have some local knowledge that can make a big difference in set up. Don't be surprised if the new guys struggle a bit in the heats, and make some big adjustments.
Add that to the fact that the feature race is scheduled for 50 LAPS and you've got yourself high drama on the high banks. Folks, this could conseivibly be the best show on the track this year. And yeah, I'm including the Midget Nationals. For $25, it's a steal. Hope everyone can make it out to the high banks Sunday. Remember, gates open at 5pm, and racing starts at 7. See ya there!

Summer time...
Summer is here, and the ball games are off and running. Which means a couple of things are certain: my evening bath in bug spray, I'll miss one or two spots, and I'll see someone make some crazy good play at least once a night. Here's hoping its your son or daughter I see! Leave your comments or thoughts about summer baseball and softball on this post! Thanks, and good luck to all the teams.
State Track 2007
Fisrt off, thanks to everyone who took time to view the site this weekend. We came within 6 of the single day record on Friday with 47 views. I realize not everyone was working on Saturday, and we still had 30 looks around. Thanks. Hopefully you found what you were looking for. If not, feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email if there's something more or different I can do in the future.
As for the athletes, there was some fantastic performances and some dissapointments. It's state, it happens. Thanks and congrats to everyone who made it that far. Just getting to State is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Might as well get started now...
So, this regional track thing got crazy on Friday. Between Republic County, Pike Valley, Clifton/Clyde and Concordia, a grand total of 63 events qualified for the State Track Meet. Needless to say, I'll be a bit busy Friday and Saturday. You'll find a link on the home page for all the qualifiers, their regional marks, and when they first perform this weekend. I beg of you, PLEASE look at that page, I spent 4 hours working on it!!! I'll have two digital cameras going in Wichita (thanks, Angie) to try to get a picture of everyone. There will be an album on the photo page just for State Track 2007. Congrats to everyone who qualified. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed!
*******
And now as an aside, whoever set up the times for the running events at the Beloit Regional needs to be smacked. Our intern, Corbin Larson, had no more than 10 minutes between his leg of the 4x800 relay and the start of the 1600. Folks, this is regionals, there is no way on God's green earth you shouldn't start the meet earlier to give some of the kids more of a break between races. I understand you can only have so many days off of school, and therefore regionals has to be crammed in. But with 25 teams, you HAVE to start early. I'm sure Corbin wasn't the only one to get hosed out of a trip to state. And for anyone who thinks it wouldn't have made a difference, Corbin's season best time would have placed him 3rd by a half second. And don't you think a senior deserves that shot?
Stepping off the soapbox, that's all for now.

Performance of the week nominee..
Congrats to our intern, Corbin Larson. On Tuesday, Corbin broke the 5 minute mark in the 1600 meters at Tescott. For some, that may not seem like much, but for a guy that takes off like he does, to not die at the end is really great. Next goal; sub 4:50. Good luck, Corbin!
