Since Shiv is reluctant to post on his recent activity with the young and elderly, I'll post stuff about sports.

BC will play host to the East Laurens Falcons on Friday night. A lot of people are disappointed in the performance by the Cadets last night but its important to remember that BC is hosting a State Basketball Playoff game. The site, to my knowledge, is still TBD. I've talked to about 6 people and 3 said they should play at BC, and 3 said AASU. The fact that BC is probably one of the toughest places in the state to play, I'm sure that the team and coaches would like to play on campus. Those in favor of AASU or a bigger site would say that the scene this past weekend reinforces the point that BC's gym is inadequate for the BC community. I'd be fine with either. The team's chance for success is higher on campus, no doubt. AASU is more accommodating for the masses and has plastic cups. Either way, BC needs to play its best. The winner will travel to Thomasville or host Central Macon in the 2nd round.

Georgia baseball, UGA's last hope for any success in '09-'10, went 2-2 in it's opening weekend in Texas. This team could finish anywhere between 3rd and 11th in the SEC. Lots of pitching talent but young in the bullpen outside of Earls and McRee who has been designated the closer. Real low on power bats. Could finish last in HR's but 1st in SB's. Zach Cone has the best chance of being the next Joey Side without being as cool.

I like the Braves to finish 2nd in the East and barely miss out on the wild card. The pitching staff is top notch, but they will still have the same problem with the middle of the lineup. Chipper will miss 40+ games and Glaus isn't the answer. Unless Hayward comes in at the middle of the year and is a freak, I don't think the offseason moves were enough to change much from last year.

BC had a wrestler win the 171 pound state championship. Thats 3 straight state champions for Mr. T.

GSU baseball is 1-2 in the post Kampii era.

Everything is falling into place for SSU.

Schiv, you remind me of a guy I used to know. He loved to singa and hang out with Gibson. Keep up the good work and godspeed. We are depending on you for entertainment.

BC's loss Saturday wasn't a big deal. It would have been nice to host the 2nd round, but we get East Laurens instead of Dublin. From here on out, it's more about how we play rather than who we play or where we play. We've got the horses.

Zach Cone can jump high and has a nice tan. Spot on regarding the Braves. Leighton and I have to get to some GSU games.

First time I have seen 2,000+ at a BC basketball game.

First time I have also not seen Tom Powers at a BC basketball game.
