The Fairfield Mules’ steamroll through the Black Diamond Conference continued Friday with a 53-6 demolishing of the winless Vienna Eagles. The Mules scored 33 points in the first quarter, started the running clock in the second quarter and played shortened quarters in the second half. The Eagles only roster 17 players this year as they start the rebuilding process under first year coach Nick Bocook. The Mules went through something similar when head coach Justin Townsend took over in 2001. His first year was the last of four straight 1-8 seasons. That was a lifetime ago, with most on the … Continue reading Mules Take Care Of Business Against Winless Vienna
Wrapping up an undefeated Black Diamond Conference season, Chet Snyder’s Fairfield Lady Mules knocked off visiting Carmi Thursday on Senior Night at the Mule Barn. Fairfield won in straight sets, 25-20, 26-24, fighting off challenges in both sets after early leads in both. That moved the Mules to 10-0 in the BDC-East, giving them the title outright for the first time since 2009. They have won conference 10 times since joining the BDC 17 years ago. The victory also moved the Lady Mules to 27-1 overall with their 18th straight win. Their lone loss was to Tolono Unity in the … Continue reading Lady Mules Finish BDC Play Undefeated At 10-0; Big Clash On Deck In NCOE
Here are my lineups for this week. Rolling heaving with Fournette and Henry both at 100 percent. And with DJ Chark (Chark, Chark, Chark, Baby Chark…) at 80 percent and Mt. Mustache in one lineup, I’m apparently all aboard the Jags bandwagon this week. Happy hunting. Continue reading NFL DFS Week 7
I’ve spent a good chunk of today listening to Red Shahan’s Culberson County album, which came out last year. It has been on repeat, and repeat, and repeat. It has a desolate, isolated sound that is somehow comforting and concerning … Continue reading Flatlands In Culberson County: When A Sound Belongs To A Place And A Place Belongs To A Sound

Running behind this week, so throwing up the early games while I work on the rest. I did not get to the midweek stuff this week either. Perils of doing this as a side gig.
