Currently we are tied with Blessed Trinity for 3rd place behind Gilmer and you guessed it Westminister. Gilmer is technically not ahead of us since their only points are from a wrestling traditional championship and top 4 placing in the wrestling duals. Only the top result should be counted in the final results. We are in a position to place better in the directors cup standings than we have in recent history, if the Golf team can place well and sports such as soccer, baseball, and tennis qualify for their respective state tournaments as they usually do. Oh and by the way a few other local schools current places:
Country Day-10th
South Effingham-16th
Savannah Christian-19th
Calvary Day-29th

Governor Barkley?
Charles Barkley is considering running for governor in the state of Alabama in 2010. Here Charles is seen on the campaign trail handing out Bud Light to his supporters. One can only hope that this is on his political agenda and will continue if he is elected in the 2010 election.

The Origin of Boggs
April 25th, 2007 by Hank Yerzimbeck · 41 Comments
We’ve had a few questions come up about Boggs, and why we refer to tasty Miller Lites as Boggs. Well my friends, open your ears and I’ll pour in a tale.
I heard the legendary story over my car radio as I was heading down I-5 to work about a year ago, listening to Mitch in the Morning on 950 KJR, as usual. For some reason or another, Mitch was gone that day so Steve Sandmeyer was hosting the show, and former Mariners and Yankees pitcher Jeff Nelson was sitting in as his sidekick.
Sandmeyer was killing some time by making small talk about baseball and about Nelly’s career and exploits as a major leaguer. The conversation turned to some of the funniest things Nelly had seen in his career when Sandy asked something like “who was the best with the ladies out of everyone you were around in baseball?” Nelson said that it was tough to say for sure, but that he figured it was probably Andre Dawson, the former Expos, Cubs, Red Sox, and Marlins slugger.
The two shared a laugh about the Hawk’s game, and then Sandmeyer stumbled upon the most compelling question ever articulated in an interview: “who would you say drank the most beer out of everyone you ever played with?” The following colloquy sheds some light on one of drinking’s biggest stars and on one of the greatest drinking feats of all time.
Sandy: Who would you say drank the most beer out of everyone you ever played with?
Nelson: Easy, Wade Boggs…..easy
Sandy: (laughing) Really!? Wade Boggs?
Nelson: Oh, yeah, without a doubt. I’ve never seen anyone drink as much beer as he did in my life:
Sandy: (laughing) Get outta here, alright, give me an example, like how much did he drink?
Nelson: Oh, I’d say, on a typical road trip, east coast to west coast [Nelly played with Boggs on the Yankees], say a road game to Seattle……Wade would drink anywhere between 50 and 60 beers.
Sandy: NO WAY!! 50 or 60 beers. That is impossible.
Nelson: No, I know…I know how crazy that sounds, and I wouldn’t believe it myself unless I saw him do it…..numerous times. And he drank nothing but Miller Lite.
Sandy: How in the hell did he have time to drink that many beers. For God’s sake, how many times did he have to go to the bathroom?
Nelson: I’m not kidding you Steve. Seriously. Wade was the kind of guy who was always the first one at the club house. So he’d get to the clubhouse, and he’d bring a six pack with him. He’d be there drinking a beer when someone showed up, and as we were all packing our stuff up out of our lockers and getting our bags ready for the trip, Wade would sit there and drink that whole six pack.
Now, at the time, we were flying out of New Jersey, so it was somewhat of a drive from Yankee stadium to the airport in New Jersey. Wade would drink another couple of beers on the bus to the airport. At the time, we were flying this older airplane, it couldn’t make it across the country without refueling, and it wasn’t the fastest airplane in the sky. So we would stop in North Dakota or something. Wade would drink about a half rack between New Jersey and North Dakota, and it would take about a half-hour to an hour to refuel once we got there, so he’d have a few more beers while we were grounded in North Dakota.
Once we got back up in the air, Wade would drink another 10, 11, 12 beers on the way out to the west coast. The whole flight from coast to coast ususally took us well over 7 hours. We’d touch down at Sea-Tac, hop on the bus headed to the Kingdome, and Wade would have another beer or two on the bus. Then, all of us would get to the Kingdome and unpack our bags and sit around and BS with eachother, and Wade would have a beer in his hand the entire time. He was always one of the last people to leave the club house too. So I’d say that all in all, he drank over 50 beers on the trip, and this wasn’t just an isolated incident, he did that almost every time.
Sandy: Unbelievable. That’s absolutely unbelieveable.
Nelson: Yeah, I know, I’m not kidding though, let’s call up somebody and they’ll tell you man, they’ll tell you I’m not lying.
Sandy: Alright, who should we call up. Let’s take a commercial break, and then we’ll call up somebody and see if we can’t get to the bottom of this….This is absolutely amazing.
[commercial break: When the commercial end, Paul Sorrento, a former Mariner and Devil Ray, and Boggs’s and Nelly’s former teammate, is on the phone]
Nelly: Hey Paul, good to hear from you man, I haven’t talked to you in a while.
Sorrento: Yeah, what’s it been like, two, three years?
Nelly: Yeah. Hey, Paul, just to clarify now, I didn’t speak to you over the commercial break, and I haven’t talked to you about anything since we last talked a few years ago right?
Sorrento: Yeah, right.
Nelly: Alright Paul, we’ve been talking about Wade Boggs up here today in Seattle.
Sorrento: (laughing) Yeah, ole Wade huh.
Nelly: Yeah, alright Paul, I need you to answer one question for me, truthfully now….How many beers would Wade Boggs drink on an east coast to west coast road trip?
Sorrento: Oh, jeez, (exhaling like a flat tire) I don’t know, like 70.
Nelly, Sandberg, Sorrento, Hank: (Rolling on the ground laughing)
So there you have it, that’s the wonderful tale of Wade Boggs’ incredible drinking feats. So one day when a few of us at tasty booze were hanging around crushing some ice cold Miller Lites, and after I told them the story of Wade Boggs, we decided from then on that we would call a Miller Lite a Boggs in honor of the man who drank ‘em the best.

How to choose your political party
Father/Daughter Talk
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of 'the redistribution of wealth.
'She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew.
She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?
'She replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.'Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.
'The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, 'That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!'
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.’

Number One
From Rivals:
The Tide came rolling in on National Signing Day.
After an impressive flurry of commitments in the past 48 hours, and thanks to a solid recruiting foundation that was laid in the spring and summer, Alabama has been crowned by Rivals.com as the recruiting national champions for the class of 2008.
The Crimson Tide finished with an amazing run in Nick Saban's second recruiting class in Tuscaloosa. Saban and his staff landed three five-star players and 18 four-star recruits, giving them enough of a push to edge Notre Dame and SEC rival Florida.
As of 3 p.m. EST, the Tide was sitting with 2,819 points, just ahead of Notre Dame, Florida, Oklahoma and Georgia. The rest of the Rivals.com top 10 consisted of Miami at No. 6, Florida State at No. 7, Ohio State at No. 8, Michigan at No. 9 and USC at No. 10.
There are several uncommitted players who could cause some shifts in the top-10, but nobody has enough left on the board to knock the Tide from their perch.
Alabama's class got started in February 2007 when four-star defensive end Michael Williams jumped on board. But things really got hot in March when the Tide added commitments from Jermaine Preyear, Brandon Lewis, Undra Billingsley and Ivan Matchett. Lewis, another four-star player, turned down offers from Clemson, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and others to commit to defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.
The Tide went on to add seven more commitments in the spring and summer, including five-star athlete Burton Scott of Prichard (Ala.) Vigor. Linebacker coach Lance Thompson, a serious candidate for Rivals.com national recruiter of the year, reeled in Scott. The 5-foot-11, 194-pound prospect went on official visits to Auburn, Florida and Miami, but he never wavered on his commitment.
"He just loved Coach Saban and the whole staff," Vigor coach Kerry Stephenson told BamaOnLine.com. "He liked what they said about using him on offense. I can tell you this: They are getting a great player with the sky as the limit for how good he can be."
Scott's commitment capped an impressive summer run that included another five-star prospect in offensive tackle Tyler Love of Mountain Brook, Ala. Love committed to the Tide on July 27 over offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee and others.
The Tide then got its quarterback of the future on Sept. 4 when EA Sports Elite 11 quarterback Star Jackson of Lake Worth, Fla., committed. Jackson went on to impress at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and is the No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the nation.
"Alabama had been recruiting me harder than anyone, and they were there before I started to get all these offers," Jackson said when he committed. "They've been there the whole time and showed a lot of faith in me early by offering me. It really stood out to me when they sent three coaches to watch me in May, including Nick Saban."
During the season, the Tide added four-star defensive tackle Kerry Murphy, four-star safety Robert Lester, Rivals100 offensive lineman Barrett Jones, four-star linebacker Don'ta Hightower and three-star defensive tackle Terrence Cody.
Additional commitments from solid prospects such as Robby Green and Chris Jordan helped set the stage for the bigger fireworks in the days leading up to National Signing Day.
Four-star defensive end Glenn Harbin jumped on board Jan. 31, followed by a major pledge from Alonzo Lawrence, the nation's No. 2 cornerback. Lawrence, a 6-foot-1, 187-pounder, selected the Tide over Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
"I committed to the University of Alabama, because of my relationship with the coaches and the players," Lawrence said. "They started recruiting me very early on and stuck with me throughout this process. When compared to other schools I was considering, the facilities, the coaching staff and the chance to win a national championship was too much to pass up.
"I'm excited about getting started and getting to Tuscaloosa to help this class achieve its ultimate goal, which is to win a national championship."
The Tide continued to roll. Wednesday morning, the nation's No. 1 receiver, Julio Jones of Foley, Ala., signed with Alabama. Jones, the No. 4 player overall, was one of the most talked-about recruits in state history. Keeping him at home was huge for the Tide.
"In the end I went with the choice that I felt most comfortable with, the one that felt like home, and that was Alabama," Jones said. "I took a lot of visits up there, and that's where I felt the best.
"I looked at their facilities, the campus and academics, and it was as good as it got, so that was good enough for me. I felt good with the coaches. They told me they were going to move me around and use me in different sets. I think I'll fit in fine."
The title was secured when Alabama received a commitment from four-star linebacker Jerrell Harris of Gadsden (Ala.) Garden City. Harris was ranked as the No. 38 player in the country by Rivals.com.

GENERAL
PATTON!!!!
Today Micheal got his first college win in a 11 to 4 victory of Newberry. The General pitched six and two thirds innings giving up 3 earned runs and striking out four. Not a bad start to what hopefully will be a successful college career.
On a side note Brian Kennedy is a liar and tried to lie to me about the spread we had agreed on Saturday night for the Super Bowl because he thought I was too intoxicated to rember the bet whenever I asked him what it was the next day.
