Not only have there been many recording stars who have passed away recently, but the same can be said of athletes. The latest was Frank Sullivan. Younger fans don’t remember him, but I do. He pitched for a few teams including the Red Sox back in the 50’s. He wasn’t very good, he was 97-100 […]
Yes yesterday was the 14th anniversary of the “Tuck Rule”. Yes Patriot and Oakland Raider fans remember that fateful day in different ways. I’ve mentioned this stuff before , but in honor of the anniversary let me repeat a few things: If it happened to the Patriots I would’ve been upset. Of course! I happened […]
I’m back and just in time for the AFC and NFC championship games! It’s Manning vs. Brady! I’m a Patriots fan and a big Tom Brady fan of course, but I don’t hate Peyton Manning. I thought he played pretty well in Denver’s victory over Pittsburgh last Sunday and I didn’t see what some of […]
The College Football season will wrap up tonight in California as top ranked undefeated Clemson takes on Alabama in the NCAA Division One Title Game. Clemson has answered every challenge all year. They are the top seed for a reason. But it won’t matter tonight … Tonight they are playing Alabama … 31-17 Tide … […]
Every team seems to have one opponent that they just can’t figure out, and for the Vermont men’s basketball team that opponent is Albany. The Danes beat Vermont yesterday at the Patrick Gym 69-57, and truth be told, the game wasn’t that close. Albany Coach Will Brown is not the most popular guy around Patrick, […]
Rice and Burlington staged another one of their boy’s basketball classics on Thursday night on Bernie Cieplicki Court. Ben Shungu’s 35 points were just enough to give the defending state DivisionOne champs the win against their previously unbeaten arch-rivals. We don’t call this one the ancient and honorable rivalry for nothing. So many great games […]
If I turn out to be wrong I’ll certainly admit it, but right now it sure looks like the Vermont High School basketball Division One boys race is shaping up as a four team affair. With Burlington’s 66-58 win over Rutland last night the Seahorses are 9-0 on the season … the Raiders are 7-2 […]
by Bill Murphy How many of you have your Christmas shopping done? Over the years, people are habitually the same. They either shop early OR they shop late. I find, for the most part, people stay the same way they were in high school, when it came to term papers and test studying. They either […]
by Bill Murphy Still a very big proponent of Championship Saturday. Three games, one venue, a day in the outer limits for diehard high school football fans. Most of you know, New Hampshire, has many bigger schools, THUS, more outstanding players, BUT, what they don’t have, is the vision Vermont has. Seeing the success of […]
by Bill Murphy And then there were four, …… games that is, remaining in the 2015 Vermont High School Football season. No, we didn’t bump our head and forget OR purposely send out, the idea, that there are four Vermont Football playing divisions, even though we think there should be. No, there are four games […]
