HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The PA Announcing is done.
One full day left in 2025.
Remember that we can talk in DMs, especially about politics.
The day is done; just one more to go.
Day two of the PA Announcing begins at Noon Pacific. Four games. Tomorrow, four more and I'm done. I'm feeling better today. My voice seems to have returned.
Day one of the PA Announcing is done. The four games were enough for me LOL Tomorrow, a day off, and then back to my nose to the grindstone on Monday and Tuesday.
I was not in good voice today; I just sounded ok.
Update: the Current were upset in the playoffs. No championship.
2/ little later than that.
Four games tomorrow, Sunday off, four more games Monday and four more on Tuesday.
Benson is one of the five locations where tournament games will be played. Nearly all games will be streamed.

^^^ There's the link to the tournament's website.
1/ Tomorrow, I'll begin PA announcing at Benson HS for the Pacific Office Automation Holiday Classic tournament. It's the eighth annual edition of the girls basketball tournament.
The first game begins at Noon Pacific and the last one is scheduled to begin at 5pm Pacific, but will probably start a
"Don't forget that, hooman!"
I got that feeling when Pete Alonso participated in that press conference announcing that he'd signed with the Orioles.
🥰
🤣 Kitteh is honing his/her "attack out of nowhere" skills.
"You just wait, hooman! I will eventually get you! Muhahahahaha!" 😂
www.msn.com/en-us/weathe... It did rain a lot on Thursday. I didn't realize that it set a record.
The last game on KBPS for calendar year is tonight at Lincoln, with the Cardinals boys hosting the Tigard Tigers. The game will probably tip off at about 6:15pm Pacific (9:15pm Eastern). Just one student will be joining us and he wants to take a crack at play-by-play. KBPS.am
2/ becomes a rout. It's tougher on video platforms, but not easy on audio platforms, either.
Friday night, the last game in the calendar year, also at Lincoln, but a boys game against Tigard.
1/ Last night's game at Lincoln was the most competitive basketball game we've had on KBPS this season. Lincoln won 50-44. I enjoy broadcasting close games because they're close; don't have to worry about filling time. Filling time is something on-air broadcasters have to do when a game/match
The next and penultimate KBPS.am broadcast of a sporting event for the calendar year is tomorrow night, starting at about 9:15 pm EST/6:15 pm PST. McMinnvile at Lincoln, girls basketball. The last will be on Friday night, Tigard at Lincoln, a boys game.
I haven't voted in the poll. He's still underrated.
As for he being an All-Star, the thing to remember is that making the NBA All-Star team is much more difficult compared to the other three major men's professional team sports leagues.
16/ QB UNTIL his senior year. He was drafted 199th (sixth round) in the 2000 NFL draft. Now, 10 Super Bowl appearances and seven SB rings later, he's considered the greatest by many.
The conclusion, again: winning the Heisman Trophy DOES NOT guarantee success at the next level.
15/ they just might have put the Heisman curse on Mendoza.
Finally: most people believe Tom Brady to be the greatest QB ever in NFL history (I think he's second, behind Otto Graham), came nowhere close to winning the Heisman in his senior year. As a matter of fact, Brady wasn't the regular starting
Edit: Joe Burrow, LSU, 2019; Bengals; they played the Rams and lost; my bad)
14/ Ty Detmer; Gino Torretta; Charlie Ward; Danny Wuerffel; Chris Weinke; Jason White; Matt Leinart; Troy Smith; Tim Tebow; Sam Bradford.
Diego, mi amigo: Heisman voters did you a big favor by voting for Mendoza... now, you have the motivation to go out and show how good you truly are. Conversely,
13/ him, it was Cam Newton (Auburn, 2010; Panthers). Here's something else: in between 1971 (Pat Sullivan) and 1984 (Doug Flutie), no QB won the Heisman. And, since Flutie until Newton, there were a succession of Heisman-winning QBs who washed out in the NFL, with a couple of exceptions: Andre Ware;
12/ (Michigan), 1997. Woodson is the last Heisman winner to be enshrined in Canton. The LAST ONE, and he wasn't a quarterback. In fact, of those six I just listed, just two are QBs, Staubach and Plunkett. The last Heisman winner to even PLAY in a Super Bowl was Joe Burrow (LSU, 2019; Rams). Before
11/ You might ask, "How many Heisman winners after Hornung won at least one Super Bowl ring?" Let's see... The number is six: Roger Staubuch (Navy), 1963; Jim Plunkett (Stanford), 1970; Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), 1976; Marcus Allen (USC), 1981; Desmond Howard (Michigan), 1991; and Charles Woodson
10/ "AFL-NFL World Championship Football Game". Before the third game, Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt coined the term "Super Bowl" and the first two were retroactively named that. Because Hornung played for the Green Bay Packers at the time, he became the first Heisman winner to be a Super Bowl champion.
9/ beginning to see a pattern here, great. For those who can't see it, think about it... remember that I started with the conclusion.
Let's move along to what's known as the "Super Bowl Era" in the NFL. The first Super Bowl was played in January 1967. It and the next one were first known as the
8/ enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The 1956 winner, Paul Hornung, became the first Heisman winner to be drafted first overall AND be enshrined into Canton.
The second Heisman winner to turn that trick was O.J. Simpson in 1968 (Heisman win)/1985 (enshrined).
If you're
7/ threw a then-unheard of 17 interceptions to just six TD passes. He was a great college player, but, when he tried to ascend to the next level, he couldn't handle it.
A decade after O'Brien won the award, Doak Walker, a running back from SMU, won it and became the first Heisman winner to be
6/ Nope. In fact, the first Heisman winner to actually play in the NFL was the 1938 Heisman winner, Davey O'Brien. He played for two seasons for the Eagles, 1939-1940. He played in 22 games, 19 as the starting quarterback, and his statistics weren't good, especially his rookie campaign, when he
