Do you, or don’t you?
BATON ROUGE — So, you’re on the phone with someone, and that person is giving you a phone number. Maybe it’s the person’s cell number, or the number of a friend.
Maybe it’s the What Kind of Hair Day is Mel Kiper Jr. Having hotline. Maybe it’s the number to hear the weather in Grady, South [...]
He-he-he … no, really, Lee’s a she
BATON ROUGE — I’m tardy in posting this, so I apologize. I can’t even remember what reminded me of it, but that’s not important.
Recently I heard someone of note in the public eye doing a rundown on the radio of some interesting facts about the University of Alabama. The person listed a few famous alumni, [...]
You Save: $3,540.90
I don’t even know what to say:
This watch is on sale. On sale. <—click there and exercise your eyebrows.
Craig, at times your list is a pain
BATON ROUGE — So, I decided to have a virtual garage sale, with Craigslist the liaison between me and my customers. Oy.
This morning I watched as 60something spam e-mails popped into my in-box within seconds. Once the spambots were done with their special brand of evil, I had to go through each one to make [...]
Oh, when the Saints …
BATON ROUGE — You know where I’m going with that headline. It’s not where the song’s lyrics go.
Like all long-suffering fans of the New Orleans franchise in the NFL, I’m waiting for something to go wrong. Oh, when the Saints come crashing down to Earth.
So, that’s why I haven’t changed the side-saddle I use for [...]
Dishpan hands holding a football? Oh my!
BATON ROUGE — Not long ago I was in Lake Charles doing research at the library, looking at old copies of the American Press on microfilm. One of the most enjoyable aspects of such research is seeing ads, the prices of goods and services many years ago, and the way people talked — and wrote, [...]
Looks like an OK Corral to me
I have a new neighbor here at my virtual blog cabin. Alex Hickey, who covers McNeese for the American Press, has joined the fold. You can find his blog here and on the home page of the Web site.
I look forward to reading his stuff. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too.
Howdy, neighbor, and welcome.
Remembering Coach Vic
BATON ROUGE — I was here a year ago, so I didn’t hear about it until weeks later, but I wanted to acknowledge the passing one year ago today of longtime Southwest Louisiana football coach Charles Vicknair.
Coach Vic touched a lot of lives, as many of you know.
“He had a big impact on our community [...]
Cowboys, LSU sign deal to play in 2010
BATON ROUGE — The news comes from Louis Bonnette of McNeese sports information. The Cowboys and LSU Tigers have a signed contract for a football game between the two schools in Tiger Stadium on Oct. 16, 2010.
McNeese will become the first Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) team from the state of Louisiana to play [...]
Cowboys win thriller, 40-35
Josh Lewis kicked an 18-yard field goal to break a tie with 4 seconds left, and Appalachian State’s multi-lateral kickoff return ended in a safety as McNeese State defeated the Mountaineers 40-35 in Boone, N.C.
The second half lived up to my expectations. McNeese’s staff made some gutsy calls and didn’t let itself become too conservative [...]
