Self Guided Tour of Auburn…War Eagle !?!?
Posted on 10. Aug, 2011 by Corey.
Having off time from work I enjoy hitting the open road, driving to new places and checking out “things.” The other day I made the drive, about an hour and a half, to Auburn University, home to the Tigers. With some advice from my friend Kelly, who graduated from there, I took the rest upon [...]

My Cup of Coffee
Posted on 11. Apr, 2011 by Corey.
For a guy that does not drink coffee, and cannot stand the taste of coffee flavored products, I have never wanted a cup so bad the last few years. Being a member of the baseball community, a “cup of coffee” does not mean what it sounds like. I know all you Seinfeld fans are thinking [...]

Reseed Final Four? That is crazy
Posted on 02. Apr, 2011 by Corey.
In a mere few hours, I will be glued to my television set to watch the 2011 NCAA Final Four. I have no huge diehard interest in any of the four teams, but instead love the event itself. I could care less which four teams are matched up, or that there are no number one [...]

Drug Testing Good, Product Testing Bad
Posted on 23. Mar, 2011 by Corey.
I respect what Major League Baseball has done the last few years to “clean up the game,” and try to eliminate all performance enhancing drugs. I understand that it can be a pain for a player to have to pee in a cup a few times a season at random times, and sit through numerous [...]

Ole Miss-Alabama Basketball Game
Posted on 13. Feb, 2011 by Corey.
In 1967, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell sang the chorus for the soon to be hit R&B/soul song, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” On Saturday afternoon, the Mississippi Rebels basketball team proved that statement wrong. Falling behind by 21 to the Alabama Crimson Tide at Coleman Coliseum was too much to overcome as a second [...]

Sad to see 2010 go, but Happy New Year!
Posted on 31. Dec, 2010 by Corey.
As a sports fan, I will be sad to see 2010 go. In most years I feel I end up disappointed by outcomes of my favorite teams, but this year is an exception to the rule. The Cincinnati Reds appeared in the playoffs for the first time since 1995 allowing October Baseball to extend to [...]

Worst Coach in America? Bold Statement
Posted on 27. Dec, 2010 by Corey.
As I begun to take journalism classes in high school, I was taught by my teacher that there is no place for opinion in news stories. Report what has happened using facts and try not to be biased or lead the audience. My teacher said the place for opinions would be in personalized columns that [...]

College Basketball Tip-Off and Journey to Houston
Posted on 12. Nov, 2010 by Corey.
Although the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball season technically opened earlier this week, I deem the start of the season to be tonight. I may be prejudice, but this is when all my favorite teams tip off and begin the quest for a invite to the Big Dance in March. I have to admit life [...]
