West Charlotte Fiasco finally resolved

Amazingly, over two months after the issue of eliigibility was raised for the West Charlotte football team, CMS finally announced a punishment. Nothing wrong with the punishment, although I am still trying to figure out how their AD didnt know a player had used the AD's grandmother's address to be eligible....

Now here is where it gets funny, CMS took only a couple of days to force South Meck to forfeit their season just hours before round one of the playoffs and then West Charlotte's case carried on for over 2 months...

I said it back then and I will say it again, the West Charlotte - Indy game should have never been played if you follow the same line of thought in punishment as the South Meck situation.

I have a feeling we are about to hear of another punishment for another school, so stay tuned...

It all goes back to the South Meck penalty compared to crime sure seems different than this recent punishment.

I wonder what the parents of South Meck football players are thinking today?


Leads us back to Dr. Gorman's committee on eligibility he has formed.... Anything less than a complete overhaul of the checking system and a restoration of the publics faith in the system will be failure.....

I have a feeling spring sports may bring more issues......

"Toughest Sport on Dirt"

Ok, I have to admit, I agree. Bull Riding, yes Bull Riding is the toughest sport on dirt. My son and I traveled to Winston Salem last night for the Professional Bull Riding event. Over the last few months we began to watch the Bull riding on the Versus Channel and thought it was so cool. My son loves to see the 1400 pound bulls throw the 150 cowboys off. When we saw the Built Ford Tough PBR Series was coming to Winston Salem, we decided to make the 100 mile drive.

To be honest, I didnt know what to expect, as with any sport, you know it will be different in person vs on television. We were ver pleasantly surprised, the entertainment value was top notch. Plenty of entertaining music, pyro displays patriotic themes, funny rodeo clowns and of course the stars of the show, the Cowboys and the Bulls.

I have been to many unique events across the country, and I feel safe in saying that as far as pure family entertainment value, Bull Riding goes right to the top of the list. Unlike most events, no sexual themes, no dirty language, no displays of poor sportsmanship, just good clean fun.


We loved it and we will be back for more.
