-Shasta Averyhardt makes LPGA Q School cut. She'll be a priority list 16 golfer, meaning she will play some LPGA events and have to earn her way into others. She joins Joe Bramlett as African Americans playing in the Bigs in 2011.
-The Jets coach who tripped a Dolphin during live action on Sunday - reminded me of Woody Hayes, the Ohio State football coach (and certainly one of the significant people in Bobby Knight's development!). Coach Hayes...
...was fired in 1978 after having a temper tantrum during the Gator Bowl against Clemson and striking a Clemson linebacker named Charlie Bauman after intercepting a pass to clinch the game for the Tigers as well as two of his own players. Ohio State was embarrassed, and they had no choice but to immediately fire Woody Hayes. The man who was so famous for his temper would lose his job because of it. (From bucknuts.com.)Temper, temper, boys.
-One other NFL note: Thought my old favorites, the Oakland Raiders, were going to do the Colts a favor by knocking off the Jags on Sunday. But it didn't pan out with the Jags coming from behind to win a close one. Dang.
-One week from today, Winter begins. That doesn't necessarily mean colder weather (we've had our share of that already) but it does mean longer days, more daylight. Hurray!
-On a sad note: Our condolences to Tony Wease on the loss of his wife this past week. Judith Wease passed away at the IU Medical Center in Indianapolis early on the morning of December 8th. She was also the sister of a second Lakeview golfer, Mike Strawn.
-If you were watching Butler play Mississippi Valley State last Saturday night, you could have caught son Eric with wife Colleen and boys Lucas and Ian in the stands. Son Marty and Laura had them up for the game. Butler won the first half by twenty-three, MVS the second but only by three points. Wonder if they stayed for the whole game. Should have, for the boys sake...
-Getting on with the day...
