Just chattin’

Does anyone else think that people are much ruder online than in person? I’m betting that half the stuff people post here and in discussion forums wouldn’t be said in person. I guess people love anonymity. By the way, I hope I don’t bear the brunt again for someone saying someone else is recruiting. Really, what’s controversial about saying a team is dominant? Yet there are those who use anything to throw around hata’ comments. If recruiting is happening, prove it.
I got a request for soccer rankings this morning _ baseball and tennis rankings ran in today’s paper _ and it seems there haven’t been any rankings yet this season. That’s too bad. But I was told by St. Thomas Aquinas coach Craig Ewing that there should be some by Friday. If that’s the case, I’ll type them up.
I really felt bad for the Northwest baseball program after the arson to their dugout and shed. It’s just not right. I felt even worse for the parents, though, who put in the time and energy to build that. I’m sure their disappointment — whether their son is even still there or not — is great.
I had a weird, old moment on Monday night, one day after my birthday (I love birthdays, but I’m getting up there.) Anyway, for a story that is scheduled to run on Friday, I interviewed a freshman golfer at Kapaun, David Auer, who I have known since he was a tyke. I got here in 1996 and saw David at Heights games back then. Yep, I’m old.
Talked to CL athletic director Bill Faflick this morning. He was already planning on how to rescheduled the rescheduled games that were scheduled for tonight. Here it is 1 p.m. and he’s right — it’s going to get nasty out there.

Except for 6A, the baseball rankings were pre-season that ran today. How else would a 0-12 team be ranked. Great Bend ranked twice, Mulvane ranked second in 4A with a losing record. etc.

Well, that’s interesting. I used what was sent to me. Go figure. If we get an updated — and correct rankings list — I’ll have it go in the paper. As for soccer rankings, look for them in Thursday’s paper.

Hector’s my new favorite poster. As for softball rankings, well, I haven’t seen any. If anyone knows who to contact, send them my way. I’m not a big fan of the softball coaches association, which is notorious for not getting the postseason teams out until, um, March of the next year. I’m not lying. It’s happened.
