Is it me or is Nascar really boring to watch? A dude named Kyle, Jeff, Clint, Dale, or Kurt will get in a car thru the drivers side window and drive 150 MPH for 350 miles in a circle. They only stop for gas, tires, and when another driver gets in an accident. And if…
High School Football
It is June 19th; High School football doesn’t start until August 30th!!! That is 73 days (you can thank Mark, the statman, for that incredible number). It will be my 4th year as a statistician for KMYS (television) and my 16th year as a statistician for the Texas Sports Radio Network (radio). Wow, that is…
fan’s
Fan’s are a huge part of sporting events. I don’t mean something that cools you off; I am talking about people!!! Fan’s get all decked out from head to toe. A few weeks ago, there was a student in San Antonio who got in trouble at school cause he had a picture of Matt…
tattoo’s
Basketball is the only sport where athletes can actually show off there tattoo’s. It could be a bible quote, a number, a name, a symbol, an animal, or something super strange that you are like what the fuck is that? Sometimes, a basketball player will get angry before, during, or after a game and take…
crowds
As I watch sporting events on television, I am amazed at how athletes can perform there jobs with tens of thousands of fans watching them live and many more watching on television and how they do this day after day. And then you have the media; they scrutinize every little thing that happens on and…
All Star Football Game
Last night, I was at Comalander stadium for the 34th Annual All Star Football game. I love working this game because I get to see the top San Antonio Senior’s from the 2011 season play high school football one last time. Even though I worked 33 games last season, I didn’t see a lot of…
2012 signing day
On Wednesday, February 1st, high school athletes around San Antonio had there opportunity to tell us where they will be attending college! Family, coaches, other students, and the local media joined the student athletes for there decision. Must be pretty awesome to be good at something and have a college offer you a scholarship to…
UIL Realignment
On Thursday, February 2nd, the UIL announced the 2012-2014 realignment, which is based on the enrollment numbers for each high school. Basically what this means is that some schools will go to a new District or change classifications (Texas has 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, and 1A). This didn’t get as much publicity as signing day…
High School Football WRAP-UP
I came up with this brilliant idea to write about all the high school football games I worked 5 months ago. Not sure why I didn’t do this in previous years. Blogging kept me busy on the weekends and away from trouble! I hope you found my high school football writing insightful. I really…
Week 16 – Steele Vs Spring Dekaney (5A Division II state championship)
Last night, I was at Cowboys stadium in Arlington for the 5A Division II high school football state championship between our Steele Knights and the Spring Dekaney Wildcats. This was the 9th game played at the stadium since Thursday! Pretty cool to have one location for most of the championship games! I left yesterday at…
Steele VS Port Arthur Memorial
Yesterday afternoon, I was at Reliant stadium in Houston for the Steele Knights vs the Port Arthur Memorial Titans. I drove up with Mark Kusenberger and our journey started at 9:30am and didn’t end till 11:45pm! After the game concluded, we really wanted to get home to our family so we didn’t go to the…
week 15
Last Friday, December 2nd, the Madison Mavericks beat the Harlingen Cardinals 42-27. On December 3rd, the Steele Knights defeated the Reagan Rattlers 35-10. I thought Reagan would be able to hang with them. Obviously by the score, I was totally wrong. Also that same day, the Devine Warhorses were eliminated. So, for Week 15, we…
week 14
In my Week 13 blog, I prayed to the “Football Gods” for a game on Friday, December 2nd. Well, I got my wish but the location is in Kingsville, Texas which is about a 3 hour drive! If it was an hour drive, I would do it! Stupid Kingsville! I guess next time, I will…
week 13
Well, this weekend, I will get a break from high school football! All of the teams TSRNsports are following are on the road. It will be very strange being home on a Friday night! But, it will also be nice as I can be lazy Mark! Will probably watch some movies (Fight Club, Iron Man,…
Week 12 – Steele Vs Brandeis
Last night, I was at Heroes stadium for the Steele Knights and the Brandeis Broncos in the 2nd round of the 5A playoffs. On my drive to Heroes, I saw some fans for the Lake Travis Cavaliers (they were playing in the Alamodome), I saw the Lake Travis band truck, I passed Comalander stadium (Warren…
Week 12 – Reagan Vs O’Connor
This afternoon, I was at Heroes stadium again for a 2nd round 5A playoff game between the Reagan Rattlers and the O’Connor Panthers. This was the second time I had to wear my sunglasses during a football game. The first was last years state championship game at Cowboy’s stadium. No, I wasn’t trying to look…
week 12
Heroes stadium will be my home on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. I get to see the Steele Knights take on the Brandeis Broncos and the Reagan Rattlers take on the O’Connor Panthers. Wow! I am super pumped up and excited! Tommy Armstrong, the Steele quarterback has committed to play for NEBRASKA! He hasn’t…
Week 11 – Holy Cross Knights Vs El Paso Cathedral Irish
Week 11 – Judson Rockets Vs Madison Mavericks (rematch)
week 11 – update
I am not going to Floresville stadium tomorrow night. I was really looking forward to this game. My stupid back has been hurting on and off and today was the icing on the cake. I had enough! I know driving over 100 miles tomorrow night and standing during the game will not be a good…
