It’s Baseball season!

The busiest 8 months of my year are underway, baseball season! It actually got underway last week with The Prattville HS Girls softball Opening Night and now the season for ASU and Troy are underway as I do games for them and then the Biscuits get underway in April. Yes, it is undoubtedly the busiest time of the year for me but I actually love it. This makes 20 seasons of baseball for me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Oh, by the way, my grandsons will be playing baseball too and I will fit in as much time as possible to go support them!

The Alabama basketball team had a great victory at home vs Texas A&M this past Saturday plus they hit the century mark again by winning 100-75. There are a couple of tough games ahead with Florida coming to Tuscaloosa on Wednesday and then hitting the road to Kentucky on Saturday.

Have a great week! It’s a short one for me as the radio stations are on auto-pilot for the President’s Day Holiday.

Rain anyone?!?!

With all the rain we’ve had over the last few days I had to post on Facebook this morning a funny meme showing Forrest Gump walking through the rain with the caption “Me On My Way To My Car This Morning”. The rainfall totals in the state of Alabama are pretty high right now. Yesterday, I had to go to Publix to pick up a prescription refill and I looked at the field which is beyond our fence in the front yard and there was so much rain that a group of ducks were swimming! It looks like we will have a few dry days this week but the rain returns JUST in time for the weekend. SMH

The Alabama basketball team had a nice road win on Saturday at LSU and this week it’s a light schedule with only 1 game on the schedule and it’s Saturday back at home against Texas A&M. This will be a tough one as the Aggies are playing pretty well right now. I’m glad that the game is in Tuscaloosa at Coleman Coliseum!

The Super Bowl officially ended the football season with the Chiefs beating the 49’ers last night and repeating as champions. I’m sure all the conspiracy theory folks will say that the game was rigged or something like that because of Taylor Swift which I think is ridiculous. There were players on both sides playing their hearts out and injuries were all over the field which I’m sure were not fake. Regardless of what narrative you believe, I truly enjoyed the game and the halftime show was impressive as well.

Have a great week!

Golf?!?!

As most of you know, I am an avid golfer…now, I didn’t say I was a good golfer but I love the game. I found myself watching the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend and now my “itch” for the game is getting worse! I am so ready to get back into a routine with my golf buddies. The weather lately has not been helpful but I’m hoping that soon the weather will clear and we are into beautiful Spring and eventually Summer days that are built for golf. Can’t Wait!!

Another good week for the Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team. A good road win against Georgia after being down early and an impressive win at home against Mississippi State. This week is going to be TOUGH as the team travels to Auburn on Wednesday and then to LSU on Saturday. The matchup with Auburn really concerns me. Alabama beat them at home earlier in the year so you know that they are looking for revenge plus that place is tough for anyone to play in yet alone a rival team.

Hope you guys have a good week!
