Got a topic today? Are you working today?
What would your tribute entail?
Yesterday @ 2:22 p.m. by Joannaby joanna
I know that there are diehards out there, who recently celebrated Michael Jackson’s death with tributes, Facebook comments, memorial services that included moonwalking.
I just saw…

I think we did this last summer on the blog, where people detailed the stories of people they saw out and about. I wrote about how I saw Ricky Ross in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart and ran over to introduce myself to the man I’ve heard so much about.
Who’s someone that you saw randomly while you were out and about? Got a good story?
Today I saw former Southeast football coach Dan Johnson at the Quik Trip where I was getting my 32 ounces of 49-cent pop.
KSHSAA audited by the state
@ 12:40 p.m. by Joannaby joanna
The Kansas State High School Activities Association was audited by the state Legislative Division Of Post Audit, and the report was issued on Wednesday. The KSHSAA was compared to six other states _ Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma.
My reaction to it? The KSHSAA is average.
A story of heart
@ 12:06 p.m. by Joannaby joanna
I talked to Pittsburg Colgan football coach Chuck Smith today and he told me about a former player of his, Travis Newton, who died last Friday. There’s a funeral on July 3, at 10:30 a.m.
What caught my interest is when Smith said Newton was a four-year varsity player — and he had been given a new heart before he entered high school.

Not a sports topic, but feel free to start your own on this discussion.
What movie, when it’s on TV, will you watch at any time. For some reason, mine is The Net, with Sandra Bullock. If it’s on, I’ll watch it.
Name your favorite coach
Wednesday @ 11:39 a.m. by Joannaby joanna
There’s always someone getting dogged on the blog, and some people seem to get the heat more than others. But then there are other athletes and coaches who just don’t even get mentioned in a negative light.
So that’s what I want to talk about — the people you like.
Heat and athletics

There’s a story below updating the death of a Kentucky high school football player last August.

How big of a sports fan are you? Will you go to watch a game, even if you don’t have a kid playing or a friend playing? Do you love baseball or softball or soccer so much that you’ll go watch it in the heat of summer? How much money would you pay for a ticket to a professional game to see your favorite players?
A softbrawl?

I know things get heated on this blog when it comes to softball. But this story, from denverpost.com, is crazy.
