Weekend Notes
Two weeks ago my theme for the football weekend was special teams. This weekend it was the teams I follow having meltdowns in the fourth quarter. Only one of those teams survived, sadly the team I care least about. High School Football Cathedral played Trotwood, a team from Ohio, for homecoming. The Irish jumped out to a 18–0 lead and…
Weekend Notes
A slightly different weekend than usual around here. Plenty of sitting on my ass watching football, which is normal. But a couple car trips, a gathering, and two visitors mixed things up a bit. High School Football Cathedral had their one easy game of the year Friday, against winless Southport. In fact SHS had not scored a point this year.…
Weekend Notes
There was a theme for my football weekend: special teams. High School Football What a game Friday night, in the big Indy Northside Catholic matchup! Class 4A #1 Chatard jumped out to a 13–0 lead early in the second quarter. The 5A #4 Cathedral defense had actually stopped them on both drives, only to be called for penalties that kept…
Weekend Notes
A very busy weekend, at least when it came to me sitting on my ass in front of the TV. High School Football A week after being shut out by the best team in Indiana, Cathedral was barely better against one of the best teams from Ohio. The Irish managed just two field goals in a 24–6 loss to St.…
Sports Notes
A few sports notes before we head to Bloomington in a couple hours… Colts Welp, it’s official: the Colts are a disaster. Tuesday they named Daniel Jones as the starter for the coming season. Which means Anthony Richardson must have been really, really bad in camp, because Jones is about as mid as you can get in an NFL quarterback.…
Wednesday Notes
Fever Well, I sure jinxed the Fever! The last time I mentioned them I pointed out how they had their longest winning streak in a decade, all without Caitlin Clark. Since then they’ve lost three-of-four, the only win against hapless Chicago. Worst of all was last week’s game in Phoenix. I didn’t stay up to watch the game but in…
Weekend Notes
A very busy weekend, at least the front half. A Wedding Friday evening we all went to the wedding of O, the oldest daughter of our neighbors at our old house. M was a bridesmaid, her first of many I’m sure, so it was an extra big deal for her. It was a very nice ceremony and reception; the bride…
Weekend Notes
Once again this weekend notes piece will involve more than what went on from Friday to Sunday. I’ll start with a focus on the actual weekend, though. WNBA All Star Game The best players in the league were all in Indy over the weekend for Saturday’s All Star Game. While that was exciting, it was tempered a bit by Caitlin…
Weekend Notes
We had a great weekend highlighted by some visitors, both local and from KC, and lots of basketball. But first we need to jump back and review C’s trip to Bloomington for orientation. Orientation We got up bright and early to make check-in at 9:00 AM last Monday. Thank goodness the I–69 extension is finally complete after a decade of…
Weekend Notes, Part 2: Sports
Continuing our look back at last weekend (and slightly beyond), let’s get into the sports. PACERS!!!! Quite the swing of emotions, this Eastern Conference Finals series. Game one was the Pacers’ legendary comeback and overtime win. Game two Friday was a Big Brother game for them, getting another win in Madison Square Garden by controlling the game from start-to-finish and…
