So, here we go. I’ve had numerous requests to do more column type writing here on Lassen Sports Network. Thank you for the comments, they are greatly appreciated and we will work harder.
Let me be clear, my style of writing is very “three-dottish,” mostly because my attention span sometimes lacks. I used to do some writing for the local paper and my column was, in essence, random notes from what my beautiful bride refers to as “my diary.” It’s actually a yellow legal notepad so it was oft times, mockingly referred to as “Dear Diary.”
My sister came up with “Blackwood’s Random Points of Ponderance” for a name. What say you ? (Hey Blackwood shut up doesn’t count). Anyway. I had a couple of comments that I wanted to pass along…
If you have a chance, shake the hand of a Lassen College baseball player and/or coach. I know you see an 8-22 record for the Cougars. What you may not see, is the fact that as recently as August, there was, in essence, no Lassen College baseball program. These young men and the staff have not only been a credit to their school, they have been a credit to our community, and through some of the most adverse conditions.

From the things to look forward to department: Coach Ben Wade, the “Dragonslayer,” the musical prodigy, the Peruvian Pygmy warrior and the self-proclaimed star of the television series “Survivor,” has assured me that, at the conclusion of the series, we here at the Lassen Sports Network will be granted the first local interview. Rest assured, it will not be the slurpy type of coverage that competing local media outlets have afforded Mr. Wade over the past several weeks…
While the Carl Edwards flip at Talladega last weekend was scary as hell, can anyone say they don’t watch NASCAR to see that kind of stuff…Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants, is becoming that pitcher that you go out of your way to see…The NBA got it right, Orlando’s Dwight Howard should have been suspended. Boston’s Rajon Rondo, should not have been…For my money, I’ll take the competitive intensity of an NHL playoff game over the NBA every time…
You know we put submission information at the bottom of just about every post here at LSN, and we mean it. This site is every bit yours as anyone’s. So if you have stories and/or pictures, or any kind of information you would like to see, submit it !
For the haters out there who know no better, the Susanville Symphony is pretty spectacular…
That’s what I’ve got for you today, come up with a name for the column that the higher ups approve of, and we’ll send you a pizza from the Pizza Factory. If you’re from another area, we’ll send you a picture of a pizza from the Pizza Factory…
