Not Goodbye, So Long
Scots don’t like saying goodbye, and neither do I. And while today might be my last day teaching, I will still be a part of the IdahoSports.com family.
1
Wow! There's one day left in my career. Let's end with an athlete with tremendous integrity when few others had it.
2
The Countdown has dwindled down to 2, and for many LA fans like me, there can be only one #2.
3
Here's a huge clue for #3: Greatest Athlete from Idaho. Ever.
4
For #4. I'm going back to my college town, which is the finest town I have ever lived in. Period. CHICO!!
5
Whoops! I forgot #5 yesterday: Old Timers! To stay on track, #4 will be put up today, as well.
6
Two things today: #6 and a quick note about the commencement speech I gave at last Sunday at New Plymouth High.
7
Back to LA and the Dodgers for lucky #7.
8
For #8, I'm leaving my LA teams out of it and instead I'm going to one of my favorite players when I was a young boy.
9
We are going very old school for #9. Not many of you will even know this Dodger from a long time ago, but I do.
10
Ah, the perfect 10. And who might that be?
11
My favorite USC Trojan of all time!
12
Do you like the high 5? This player who wore #12 is credited with the very first high 5. Know who it is?
13
Lucky #13 belongs to an athlete who had an improbable ride from rags to riches. Read on to find out who he is.....
14
The player was, not only a Dodger for years, but he also led the Miracle Mets to their only World Series title in 1969, still considered to this day the most improbable championship in baseball history.
15
#15 comes from a former Dodger who has returned to the team this year as their first base coach. Know him?
16
Back to baseball and a Dodger who became an American hero for an action he did during a ball game. Read on to find out who he is......
17
For #17, I am not going to pick from any LA team. This guy's from the Dallas Cowboys, a team I never root for anymore.
18
This former QB for the Rams is my favorite #18
19
As we enter the teens, my tribute to 19 days left in my career goes to a player I admired when I was a young boy.
20
Today's athlete is a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Dodgers who had his number retired by the team. Know him?
21
The "Blackjack" number is from a USC Trojan and KC Chief from the 60's. Do you know who that is?
22
Today's pick is my all time favorite Dodger!
The Countdown Begins!
I came up with a little idea to help commemorate the final 25 days of my teaching career.

Back in the saddle again....
Well, here we go again. It’s the start of my 30th year at New Plymouth High School. With the retirement of a middle school PE teacher last year, I have now become the teacher with the most seniority in this school district. While it’s nice to have all that experience and respect that comes with longevity, it also means I’m older than dirt. I can retire with full benefits in two years, and believe me, the count down is on!
The 2010 Boy's State Basketball Webcast Awards
Before I list the awards, let me explain something that came up in the comments last year. Glenn and I sit at the Idaho Center for the entire state tourney. On Thursday and Friday, we watch the 5A teams, and then on Super Saturday we watch the six state title games. These awards are only based on the teams we see at the Idaho Center. There may be an awesome pep club, for instance, that did a great job but never made it to the Idaho Center. Since we never saw them, they could not be listed on this awards page. Some people don’t like the fact some teams or players are excluded, but our purpose for doing these awards is to give some teams and players some recognition and we can only recognize the teams and players we see. So, with that said, here goes……
