Vanderbilt last was favored to upend LSU in football in 1948 when a young guard from Sheffield, Ala. - Sam Carter - was a sophomore for the Fighting Dores...Great memories and win today by Vandy to clinch bowl eligibility.

Just thinking what might have been - he turned down Vandy to sign with Mets as No. 19 draft choice...In 2020, his senior year, he was batting .514 before the baseball season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He committed to play college baseball at Vanderbilt in 2020.

Dallas Cowboys involved in a tie for the first time since 24-24 in 1969 - 56 years vs. the San Francisco 49ers - never had a tie at Texas Stadium from 1971-2008....

Congratulations to DBU for a 34-5 season and tie for third (best ever finish) in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight - 94-83 loss in overtime to Cal State Dominguez Hills - great job by Dr. Ryan Flickner and his 2024-25 Patriots...

Mitch - So sorry to hear about the passing of Greg Sharpe - all-time good guy in the profession...

Hard to beat world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler when he shoots a 62 in the final round - congrats to the pride of Highland Park HS and the Texas Longhorns for winning the gold for OLympics golf - Was hoping that Dallas-area resident Tom Kim might medal, but he had a great performance

Game 4 of the Black College Baseball World Series presented by Tyson between No. 1 seed Talladega and Wiley has been delayed by rain until 10:45 a.m. (CDT). Times for the other two games Thursday will be TBD.

Black College Baseball World is set for Montgomery, Ala., May 8-11. Gull derails here - blackcollegenines.com/

And don't forget about Vanderbilt punter Matt Hayball with a 46.7 average - pride of the Commodores...

Direct appeal to beloved Mississippi State QB Will Rogers: Hi, Will, remember your great pediatrician in Brandon - Dr. Craig Flowers - husband of Pat Hartley Flowers and son-in-law of the late MSU Hall of Fame member Bob Hartley and think of how much the Bulldog Nation likes you.

Don't look now, but three former Southwest Conference schools are competing in a pair of conference football championship games on Dec. 2 - Oklahoma State (long, long ago) meets Texas in he Dr Pepper Big 12 title match, and SMU travels to Tulane for the AAC crown.

Happy Thanksgiving Week and thinking about two dates important to our family history: Nov. 22, 1963 - 60 years ago Wednesday - the passing of Pres. John F. Kennedy; and the final Thanksgiving game in the storied Sheffield HS-Florence Coffee football series on Nov. 22, 1962.

Here is another strange juxtaposition in college football history: Gerry DiNardo is hired at LSU the day after Tennessee defeats Vanderbilt 64-0 to end the Commodores 1994 season. 29 years later, Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M defeat Mississippi State 51-10, and Fisher is fired.

As Vandy prepares to meet No.1 nationally Georgia Saturday on CBS, memories hearken back to VU's historic upset over Georgia 50 years ago Oct. 20, 1973, as kicker Hawkins Golden of Dallas (St. Mark's School) booted a school-record four field goals in an 18-14 win over Georgia.

Governor Abbott and Texas political leaders - Please, please help us end these electrical power emergencies - there has to be a better way...Thanks!

Congrats to the Vanderbilt women's bowling team and NCAA Coach of the Year (former Ole Miss tight end) John Williamson for the NCAA Championship in Las Vegas Saturday night over a gritty Arkansas State team (seeking its first NCAA DI team championship), is to be congratulated...
