Inexorable — “impossible to stop or prevent.” Once again Bellarmine trotted to the locker room at the break down 2. This time to Midwestern State, fresh off three Ws in a row over ranked teams, which had zoomed off to a 10-2 advantage at the start. The Mustangs kept Scotty Davenport’s team at bay in [...]

The dream of finishing undefeated in the ever tough GLVC proved to tough to come true. Bellarmine’s winning streak was snapped last night by perennial Division II power Kentucky Wesleyan. A Previous commitment prevented me from attending. The Spugs Report: Kentucky Wesleyan upsets Bellarmine 94-86 LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The No. 2 Bellarmine University men’s basketball team had [...]

Silly me. The Cards lost, didn’t play so good, but had a chance to win which didn’t pan out. So I wasn’t feeling so awfully bummed after the game. The old saw: If before the road trip to UConn and G-town, you’d have taken a split, you can’t be disappointed with a split. So I [...]

If you come here often, you know how I often do. State an issue that needs to be discussed — or, at least, I want to discuss — then make some vague reference to a pop song, plug in the You Tube video, concoct the cross cultural connection then rave on with a crazy feeling. [...]
All the cliches apply. — Alexi Lalas The question, of course, is whether the former American futboler was talking about the fantastic W by the Americans over Algeria to advance to the Knockout Round of the World Cup as winners of Group C. Or, the even more improbable Wimbledon match, in which, as I write, [...]
I’m in Augusta, Georgia for a wedding. Now I know why The Masters is played in April. Why the rumor is that Augusta National closes for the summer months. Think Butchertown on the hottest August afternoon you remember. Then square it and multiply that number by 2. That’s how hot it was when I went [...]
