Slept through another Super Bowl today. Working overnights will do that to you. Now with no TV and no city papers in the area, I may not ever find out who won. And the local team is in the game.

Educated incompetents
In 2021 Fort Scott Community College dropped its football program because the school claimed it couldn’t put up the money to field a competitive team. The Greyhounds hadn’t had a winning season in over a decade. It turns out that the administrators had miscalculated revenue so badly that the school was about to go brokeContinue reading “Educated incompetents”
Last Friday Nights
It feels weird seeing high school football end in October, but such is life in Kansas where the regular season ends tonight. Most teams will get some kind of postseason play, but the majority of football teams will not play in November.
CCC Centennial
This year is the 100th anniversary of Coffeyville Community College. Except for 1924 and during World War 2, CCC has had a football team for each of those seasons. In those early days colleges scheduled games against whoever they could find. In that inaugural season they played six games. Three were against high schools, oneContinue reading “CCC Centennial”
High School football doubleheader
There has been quite a bit of talk about the shortage officials in high school sports, especially in football. Some areas in Kansas have had games rescheduled because of a shortage of officials, but not in southeast Kansas. Tonight presents a unique opportunity to watch two games in one day. Altoona-Midway hosts Chetopa in aContinue reading “High School football doubleheader”

The ticket was between the end zone and the goal line, upper deck. At the first super bore, tickets were six, eight and twelve dollars. There was no resaleContinue reading “Super Bore, Part three”
Super Bore, Part two
I mentioned the big football game that will be played in six days without mentioning the name of the game. Some businesses beat around the bush trying to tie in to the game and sell more stuff even though they are not No Fun League partners, thus not allowed to mention the name of theContinue reading “Super Bore, Part two”
Super Bore
In just 10 days, the final NFL game of the season will be played.* I haven’t watched since the Bendover Bills did their best colliwobbles imitation and managed to lose four of these games in a row. Even if I were so inclined, there is so little media coverage that most people don’t even knowContinue reading “Super Bore”
World Cup ends
The final game of the Wotld Cup was played today. Argentina beat France 3-3. If that sounds wrong, then you don’t believe a tie in basketball should be decided by a game of horse, a game of gridiron decided by a field goal kicking contest, or a baseball game decided by a home run hittingContinue reading “World Cup ends”
