Chip Shots: Two-Headed Thoughts
My weekend thoughts take the form of a two-headed life form:
Chip Shots: Manage Your Expectations
Caitlin Clark, professional women’s basketball’s arguably most heralded rookie, has two completed basketball games in the books after The Indiana Fever’s 102-66 loss to the New York Liberty.
Chip Shots: Hats Off Works Best For Me
My only interest in The Kentucky Derby (took place last Saturday) is to see some shots in the audience to see how many people have wealth but lack good taste. As departed comedian Joan Rivers once said, “Every woman needs a gay friend… to tell her no!”
Chip Shots: Diamond Days
Recently, at a softball game, I noticed just about every athlete has her own bat worth at least 300 dollars and I did math in public to figure out how much that would be between the teams’ tow dugouts.
Chip Shots: Psyching Myself Up In Mid-Column
“Writers have a rare power not given to anyone else: we can bore people long after we’re dead.” – Sinclair Lewis
Chip Shots: Spring Break Potpourri
Enjoy the tail end of your spring break and enjoy some Final Four action tonight.
Chip Shots: Competitors Who Lose Vs. Losers
There are athletes and teams who rarely win in numerous individual and team competitions, and fans and sportswriters will call them losers.
Chip Shots: Watching, Listening To March Madness
My body was under repair this week with two minor procedures Monday, and a major surgery on Tuesday. It dawned on me before the week that this unusually slow-paced week for me coincided with the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the Round of 64 specifically.
Chip Shots: Schmegegge
This is one of those weekends where my focus on a single topic has been hard to execute. Therefore, I have multiple topics to freely discuss.
Tigers Run Out Of Gas In Regional Overtime Loss
A game of streaks between two championship caliber basketball teams usually ends when one team’s late run wears out the opponent to pull away with a victory whose margin of victory makes the win look far more convincing than it was.
Chip Shots: This One’s For The Girls
January and February afforded high school girl’s and college women’s basketball fans to enjoy their local talents and see Caitlin Clark eclipse not only the women’s scoring record, but the overall college basketball scoring record.
Blood + Sweat + Tears = A Warsaw Tigers Sectional Title
Blood, Sweat, and Tears – a band whose music was at its greatest popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s – would have been a fitting form of halftime entertainment at Elkhart’s Hoosier basketball temple, North Side Gymnasium. The Warsaw Tigers boys’ basketball team captured its 41st sectional title in the program’s history at this hallowed Hoosier Hysteria venue, defeating the Penn Kingsmen 46-34 Saturday night in the IHSAA Class 4A Sectional 4 battle.
Chip Shots: Two Tournaments
Thoughts of two tournaments were on my mind during my Friday afternoon lunch hour: the College Football Playoff (CFP), and the IHSAA boys’ basketball sectionals.
Chip Shots: An Irish Goodbye
I attended, for the first time, the fourth annual We Are Tigers auction Thursday evening. I’ve had schedule conflicts in prior years, and an unexpected opening in my calendar afforded Shawna and me some time to attend.
Chip Shots: Enjoy The Silence
Depeche Mode’s album (remember those) Violator was released in 1990, and one song – Enjoy The Silence - is playing in my head.
Chip Shots: Shakeups Loom in Class 6A, 5A Football
Recent Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) enrollment indicates Warsaw will organically land in IHSAA Football Class 5A in the 2024 football season.
