Tim Montgomery received a 2 year ban from Track & Field. Also, all of his performances, wins, and prize money from the past 5 years were erased from the record books. Interesting enough, he never tested positive for steroids, but was implicated in the BALCO scandal. It goes to show that drug...

I am not sure that the Astros are to blame here since the word is that they put a $18-20 million offer on the table and Clemens told them he wouldn't decide until late January if he was coming back. If they gave him arbitration, a contract would have to be in place by Jan. 8th, still before...

I think that you are thinking of Bill Jatzlau. According to the Katy Tigers website he owns the school records for rushing yds/season (2565), rushing TDs (27), points scored (162), TDs in a game (5), and rushing yds in a game (322) all set in 1994. That year they lost in the state finals to...

Class 4A is the second largest class in Texas High School football. This year's Div II finals is a good matchup with mostly-white Corpus Christi Calallen (known mostly as a baseball school) vs. mixed race Lewisville Hebron. About half of Hebron's starters are black, including most of the skill...

High school football in Texas is big time and it is coming to the end of the 5A playoffs. In 5A DivII, once again it is a rematch of the 2003 Finals, Southlake Carroll vs. Katy. From what I can tell, Southlake has one black starter on defense at CB and a black RB, but is white at every other...

I ran across this website that breaks down the 10 meter split times of some of the fastest 100m races in history. http://myweb.lmu.edu/jmureika/track/splits/ The fastest time at the 40m (44 yd) split is Maurice Greene in the 1997 World Championship at 4.55 sec (he set the 100m WR in this...

Here's another good one. I laughed so hard that I cried.

My favorite! He is ready in case of a flood. LOL!!

LMAO when I saw this. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=414704&page= 1

This weekend ESPN will air a TV movie called "Code Breakers" which is about the football cheating scandal at West Point in 1951. For those not familiar with the story, 23 players and around 90 students were dismissed from school for cheating on exams. This was in an era when West Point was one...

With the Winter Olympics approaching, I thought that I would post an article about Bode Miller, America's best skier since Phil Mahre. Bode is not only a great skier, but a great American athlete, proven by his 2002 win in the Superstars competition. It's refreshing to see a big time athlete...

Ok, I'll start. Bode Miller - Dominated the World alpine skiing events winning the World Cup Overall (first American since Phil Mahre in 1983), the World Cup Super G, the Downhill World Championship, and the Super G World Championship. The most dominating season by a skier in the last 25...

Jaxvid, this is just my opinion, but I don't think that the sportswriters bring it up because they aren't getting any of the money and it doesn't support their idea for a playoff system. The two groups that are against the playoff system are the schools and the sponsors. The schools don't want...

Reb, I didn't make the point of playing in a bowl game to mean that you didn't know what you know what you were talking about. I was just saying that there is a lot of things that go on during bowl week that the casual fan doesn't realize, such as non-stop events that the players must attend to...

As someone who has played in two bowl games, I can tell you that I don't see the current system changing much. The reason is money. When a team plays in a bowl game, they travel to the bowl city 4 or 5 days before the game. This is unlike a normal road game where the team travels to the game...

JD, you're right, we don't know the ratio of blacks vs. whites with the genetic potential to be an elite 100m runner. My point is that I don't believe that it is 0. We have historical evidence with guys like Morrow, Sime, Borsov, Wells, Hary, Mennea, Woronin, etc. that dominated the short...

Great article and an inspiration to any young white athlete. Never give up on your dreams. It is great illustration of how some kids are just late bloomers.

Here's my take on this subject. Lightning and I agree on a lot when it comes to white sprinting. I don't buy the genetics/biometrics arguments between blacks and whites for many reasons. First, these arguments are based on averages and in elite sprinting, we are talking about the extreme end...

I am not sure that is accurate about the game announcers. I watched the game and the announcers used adjectives such as "big play receiver", "deep threat", and "speed receiver" when describing Curtis. The Texans sure respected his speed by giving him a 7 yd cushion on the corners with safety...

Don't give up Tornado! I agree with you about JC. I wasn't recruited by any large schools, but I had some JCs interested in me out of high school. I walked on at a D1 school, but it took two years of tryouts to make the team. I could have been playing JC ball for those two years. I did...

Curtis' pass wasn't a long bomb, it was a screen pass that he caught behind the line of scrimmage. He broke one tackle then outran everybody to the end zone. He really showed his speed as he looked like he wasn't even running hard, yet he was pulling away from the DBs. Great job Kevin!

If Schroeder stays healthy, look for him to have a big year next season. He is the only returning starter at WR. Also, don't count out Peterson to potentially start at CB. The coaches were very high on him back in summer camp. Aggies have the potential to have white starters at WR, QB, RB...

Brandon was mentioned a little in the Texas A&M thread. He is an exceptional athlete. He was originally recruited to play safety at A&M. Since the Aggies are pretty deep there and thin at RB, they moved him in the spring to RB. In the OK St. game he fumbled 4 times which put him in the...

There wasn't much for the Aggies to cheer about the second half of the season with Chad Schoeder, Jordan Chambliss, and Jaxson Appel out with injuries. The Texas game highlighted some great white Aggie players with freshman quarterback Stephen McGee stepping in for the injured Reggie McNeal and...

I am glad you guys didn't forget John David Crow, he is a legend to the Aggie Nation. He was the Athletic Director at A&M when I was playing and he was always in the locker room before and after every game. In his role as athletic director, his job was to hob-nob with the big Aggie donors and...
