“We got in the locker room, and it was wild. It was wild. That’s all I can tell you. It was uncontrollable, which was great.”
If I told you that quotation was from Washington Head Coach Steve Sarkisian’s comment after beating No. 3-ranked USC, it would make sense. How about South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier after upsetting No. […]

Throughout our country’s history, sports have often influenced the course of presidential politics.
John F. Kennedy’s image of youthful athleticism helped carry him to the White House, and Teddy Roosevelt’s reputation as an avid outdoorsman made him an icon for the conservationist crowd. George W. Bush used his ownership of the Texas Rangers to vault himself to […]

When it comes to Tulane baseball, winning is a way of life, especially at home in the increasingly hostile Turchin Field.
After all, it’s never easy for a visiting team to win on the road against a top-ranked team, much less in a place where alumni chant the “Hullabaloo” at the top of their lungs after every […]

 
 
I am somewhere around Decatur Street when the panic starts to take hold of me. I have three pages to fill with a story from this show and am counting on good pictures from the show to help lessen my word count. When I arrive at the venue to discover my press passes there, sans […]

Die-hard Pat Green fans probably already know Walker, as he has opened for Green on tours. If you don’t know Walker, get to know him.
In the vein of Cross-Canadian Ragweed, Drive-by Truckers and Green, Walker is country, but not like Kenny Chesney or Tim McGraw. Described as “Texas country,” Walker throws a […]

“This year we have a rare […]
