This and That

After a 141 games games, the Pirates are a perfect .333(47 and 94). I got to give Mr. Ron Cook lots of credit for saying the Pirates would be 59 and 103. He may hit the nail right on the head or they may lose 110 games. Whatever the total may be, baseball has too long of a season and the regular season should be completed by September 15. It can be accomplished and the baseball heads of state should figure out how to do it.......Where are the cupcake people? It happened again yesterday. 63 full scholarship James Madison goes into hostile 85 full scholarship Virginia Tech and beats them 21 to 16. 1AA U. of South Dakota goes into Big Ten Minnesota and upsets them 41 to 38. There are some real good 1AA teams out there and there are some weak ones but football at that level is much improved......I said it back in previous blogs that Villanova should be invited into Big East Football and it may happen. The Big East needs to convince Notre Dame to join but the chances are very, very slim......If I would have told you on August 1st that both Gateway H.S. and Woodland Hills H.S. would both start off 0 and 2, people would have thought I belonged to a comedy club. Both schools are well coached and will live up to their expectations and the season moves along.......Could Rich Rodriquez finally be off the hot seat at Michigan after beating Notre Dame. He has his man Denard Robinson running his offense and this guy can flat out play. We will see how the rest of the season unfolds.
