    OT: cars you've owned

    1.)1992 Mazda Protege (now the Mazda 3) I'm a little over 6'4" and my head stuck out the moon roof if my seat wasn't laid back... but I had 2 12" in the back and all the black boys on my basketball and football team made me feel very accepted because of that... 2.) 1985 Toyota Landcruiser when I...

    For all those who are negative on the focus we put on baseball

    Baseball’s our cheap therapy without a co-pay. I only watch golf or the draft when I need to fall asleep. Cheering here doesn’t mean pardoning there. We love the program, and we still expect Selmon to answer for the big stuff in football and basketball.
