We have already had discussion around my house this morning whether this year is 2,010 or are we going to call it twenty ten.
Just a follow up to yesterday's blog talking about having dinner Wednesday night with Gene Taylor. I signed the plaque that he had to give to the Cockrell family but he also had a copy of the hard back book that Elizabeth Cockrell has done concerning the 2005 Babe Ruth All-star team that played for the world title in Quincy Massachusetts.
The book is called "Keep Digging" which was the motto of that team all during their two month long road to the finals. I don't know how many pages it was twenty five to thirty. It is well done and surely every member of the team coaching staff and family members will want one. I put my name in the pot for a copy.
I got home from dinner Wednesday night just in time to turn on ESPN to watch former Rocky Mount high football player Travis Cobb return the opening kickoff back for Arizona against Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl. He had two returns on the evening for 34 yards.
Saturday is the Liberty Bowl for ECU. They will meet Arkansas 4.30pm Saturday on ESPN. Bowl games are a lot of fun for both the team and the throng of Pirates fans there for the game. Yesterday the team went to St Judes Children's Hospital in Memphis to meet and greet the children not as lucky as them who can't play football.
I would almost bet that when their trip is over, the visit to the hospital will last in their memory as long as the game itself.
Well it is time to sit back and watch parades and football. I doubt that I will watch anyone game all the way through. If I do watch one it will be the Gator Bowl and Bobby Bowden's last game.
