wonderful header, i know – had to warn the sixth grade – otherwise, i approve 90 comments this week before i remember to tell them not to write…

read “called to coach” by bobby bowden last week – good book – bowden was a very successful college coach – who grew up in b’ham – led florida state to national titles – i guess what was most interesting about the book was that it wasn’t a typical coach book where the coach makes himself a god (“i came in and the program was terrible and i turned it around”) – he admitted doubts he had and he admitted the help he had – it was a good read

got “the book of basketball” by bill simmons thursday – couldn’t read much in it what with a middle school game to announce and then bama’s game saturday – so only like 300 pages so far – but it’s a humorous look at the nba – it’s 700 pages long – about 500 more pages than die-hard nba guys probably want – so it’s curious in that aspect – but the guy knows the nba – and i don’t so i’ve learned a bit

up to 1 chronicles now in the bible read-through – 1 and 2 kings are rather depressing – although it did surprise me upon rereading how lenient God was towards the kings with all the things they did (like, oh, worshipping just about every god they could fashion)

read about bama’s cross country team today – my favorite sport – and obviously read some about the uf-ua game – guess those are the highlights – best wishes with finals
