And it’s always good to see Auburn lose as well as the Doookies
Hope the FDU game tomorrow is a good one.
Meanwhile the National Champion Ole Miss Rebels have lost 4 baseball games in a row.
We sucked last year for awhile and then got hot.
Andy Kennedy was the basketball coach for that Ole Miss team. He was the winningest hoops coach in Ole Miss history.
The next year folks at Ole Miss weren’t gonna extend his contract and he left during the season.
Andy's back now at UAB, his team is 28-9 and playing in the NIT semis after beating Vandy in Nashville.
Sometimes ya can’t fix stupid.
UAB next plays the winner of Cincy and Utah Valley.
UVU has a campus in the Wasatch.

Hey @Warp daddy, have ya watched, “The Bodacious Bears” yet?
"Detailing the history of the SUNY Potsdam (Potsdam State) Bears Basketball program, The Bodacious Bears is set to premiere on November 6, 2022. This team became nationally renowned when their success reached monumental peaks in the 1980's under the leadership of Jerry Welsh and his coaching staff. During that period, the squad achieved incredible feats which still stand as some of the greatest records in basketball history."
Hawk Harrelson and how the batting glove in baseball got “invented."
He was a professional golfer and even gave rise to a piece of baseball equipment you see everyday.
"And then I got into an argument with (owner Charlie) Finley in ’67 and he released me. That’s when I went to Boston. Then in ’68, that’s when the Athletics went out to Oakland and that became a great ballclub — five consecutive divisional titles, three consecutive World Championships in ’72, ’73 and ’74. When I went to the Red Sox in ’67 and helped them a little bit to win the pennant. We played in the World Series and got beat in seven games by the Cardinals.
We went out to play one day and I played 27 (golf) because I wasn’t supposed to be playing that day...I went out and took batting practice and I had a blister from changing my grip, right on my left hand. But I remembered I had my golf glove up in my jeans.
... the Yankees were (all over me). “You (bleep). You, you…” I mean they were relentless, because back in those days bench-jockeying was common. So anyway, Whitey hung me a curveball first time up. I hit it about 450 in left-center field. But they stayed on me. Then later in the game, I hit another one out.
The next day, all the Yankees came out of the clubhouse and were taking batting practice and they all had red golf gloves on. Mantle had the clubbie go out and buy a couple dozen read All-Star golf gloves. And that’s how the batting glove started. I never hit without one again."
