With a sawed-off .410 on my lap

Welcome to the Midwest edition of Deep South Smack Talk. The Dawgs are, thankfully, off this week. But looking westward to my graduate alma mater, there’s a big game brewing in Lincoln. Undefeated and fourth ranked Missouri is headed into a tricky match up with the 3-1 Nebraska Cornholers. Cornhuskers, sorry, I always get that [...]

Sunday

Makings of a good Sunday:

Georgia 27, Arizona State 10 (11 straight for the Dawgs)
Missouri 42, Buffalo 21
A much deserved Monday and Tuesday off.

Makings of a not-so-good Sunday:

Another trip to the ER. Tonsilitis again. Everyone fine.

I guess all this history is just a mystery to me

The makings of a very satisfactory first Father’s Day…

Some early morning Father/Son bonding…

During which we were thrilled to see this…

The requisite card…

Two teams, two wins…

Father’s day at long last and equal time for nourishing mothers

Regular readers of A Free Man may know that one of my life long quests, much like Superman, is fighting for justice and pointing out inequity when it crosses my path. For example, the fact that Dr. O’C has celebrated two Mother’s Days in her first year as a Mother and I have had no [...]

Game Day: My Old School(s)

“It was still September
