I've got a couple of pretty sweet pieces of Nole memorabilia for sale on ebay under the same name I sign in here with (rfday53).  Times have been a little tough in our house this year (I'm sure some of you can relate); so I've got to give up some stuff.  I've got two pieces, both with authenticated autographs and including paperwork, one related to Charlie Ward, and one for our recently departed coach.  These are really nice pieces, thanks for looking if you do.

Charlie Ward Helmet

Victory in the Swamp (Joe Belt/Bobby Bowden)

 

 

So I scoured the web today looking for any journalist, local or national, willing to legitimately take on this year's Heisman race. I was hoping that someone might have the testicular fortitude to take a look at the numbers and performances of the candidates who have been shoved down our collective throat. I was hoping somebody in the national press still watches football. Too bad.

In truth, the Heisman is the coolest stupid award in sports. The "serious football fan" scoffs at it's relevence outside of a massive marketing tool of the network, of course until their guy wins it; we beam with pride on that day. I would know, ask my black lab "Ward" or my golden retriever "Weinke." That brings me to the odds on name for my next dog (or child) "Ponder."
