This article was posted at the Chico (CA) Enterprise Record. One of their old writers today published a column on a game from September 19, 1947, in Alexandria, Nebraska. First 3 paragraphs below: There was nothing much different about this Friday night high school football game September 19...

I get these random six-man alerts and today received one where Yardbarker.com discussed the top-25 MLB broadcasters of all-time. Under Kurt Gowdy, it said The legendary Gowdy might have gotten his start calling six-man football in Wyoming, but from 1951-66, he was the man behind the microphone...

My understanding is there are very close ties to the Timpson coaches and administration and TAMU. If you know anything about Bussey's story, he's tight with his community. I would imagine TAMU is a better fit, especially if he's got friends from his school going there. Fit is important. I cannot...

You can blame me all you want, but it's wasted energy....

The Conference is NOT at MSU this year, but at the MPEC, from what I understand. Also, I hear the Keynote Speaker is not to be missed.

The issue with tying it to first/last instructional day is that some schools actually have instruction to the final day. Some larger districts do not allow in-district transfers on the last week of a semester. Also school calendars don't match up across the state. Little things like that. If you...

I am more open to this that I thought, especially after the personal stuff I had to go through this year. Also, this is going to be long and probably rambling. Sorry. The bill would allow for a one-time transfer. After that, you must sit out a year. Why I think this may be OK It is really hard...

Went to the Abbott, McMullen Co game. I think it was 11-all when Run TMc went on an 18-0 run to end the first and start the second. I don't think Abbott had a single offensive rebound all game. Lost by about 22. The Panthers looked tired. Regionals are tough, but at least they aren't like they...

Was looking through the brackets and noticed this game. It seems pretty obvious that districts 11 & 16 were pretty salty this year.

Six-Man football, invented in Nebraska, took off. Six-man baseball? Not so much. If football could be played with just six players to a side, Stephen Epler figured, why not another sport? Today, Epler is known as the father of six-man football, the teacher at Chester High School who, nearly 90...

It is so hard to say one was better than another, but both TE and Miles were incredible. Both carried their teams to championships. The way those two played also couldn't be more different. Just glad I got to see both of them play. Petey Salaiz was a great player, but could never win it all...

100%

I meant the idea truly grew from a project in the summer of 1987 when we were going to apply ELO to MLB data. Again only scores were available. We started the data collection in the library (talk about painful) and gf at the time had a Compaq 'laptop' (her dad was on the board because those...

I will be live around 12:30 on Bally's Scoreboard Live... talking about _________

@51eleven Gosh I loved hanging with the guys at the block plant. They were the best. Just nice people who were fun to know and talk football with.
