Finally, a few minutes to spend with my blog. The last five days have been quite hectic & unfortunately the blog has suffered because of it. Traffic has been steadily growing here for the last six weeks, so I feel pretty bad.

The big news is the Memphis Tigers radio broadcasts have found a home. Starting this fall WREC-AM 600 will be the flaship station for football & men's basketball. Thanks to all of you who have taken a moment over the last 24 hours to offer an email of congratulations. I cannot tell you how exciting it is to be asked to return for an eighth season of pregame & postgame duties. Plus, with the addition of hosting the coaches shows, 2006-07 seasons will be busy.

Still no word on the fulltime job front, but I optimistic something will happen there soon, too.

Kansas coach Bill Self is ticked off his team tied Texas for the Big 12 regular season title, but only the Longhorns recieved a trophy, a ceremony, or even a congratulations from the conference.

According to published reports, the Big 12 is sorry for the incident, but also lays blame on the trophy company in Oklahoma City. A spokesperson says the company accidentally shipped the trophy after some "miscommunication."

The good news is Kansas has a trophy on the way & Self is satisfied with the conference's explanation.

Misdemeanor assault charges against Pacman Jones of the Tennessee Titans were dropped yesterday after the nightclub owner making the accusations told a judge he didn't want to proceed with the case. According to The Tennessean, they (nightclub owner & his brother) both told Judge John P. Brown they didn't want to pursue the case. Brown questioned their intentions in filing the charges only to try to retract them, and scolded them for the appearance of financial motivation. Robert Gaddy softly denied he was looking for a payday before Brown officially dismissed the case.
