May 25th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Sports · Wi-Fi

  Before and after I bought the 2014 Triumph Thunderbird LT read many motorcycle reviews. One reviewer thought the bird blew away the home team favorite Harley. That writer was British.

    The Wichita State Shockers were playing the Indiana State Sycs of the storied Missouri Valley Conference on TV this weekend, and one couldn’t help but think back to the golden age of WT … No not White Trash … West Texas … the college formerly knows as West Texas State University.

Baseball, Black History Month In KC … Every Day Is Wi-Fi Day

March 8th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Sports · Wi-Fi

    The first visit to The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Mo., I came up empty. There was a slightly less-than-friendly greeting at the help desk, and I was told I could not take photographs in the exhibition — even if I was a member of the media — not without an […]

Wi-Fi Guy Is Not ‘With Wi-Fi’ – Tweeting HOD Bowl Anyway

January 1st, 2014 · Tags: Sports · Wi-Fi

Oh no you dint! The Heart of Dallas Bowl has placed “The Wi-Fi Guy” in the press box where there is no Wi-Fi.  AWK-WARD.  So, we are hardwired.  Ha! I could barely remember how to get on an ethernet network … I mean it has only been about 10 years since I went totally wireless. […]

Colorado State, Bad JuJu Overcome Washington State Lead, Late In Albuquerque’s Gildan New Mexico Bowl

December 21st, 2013 · Tags: Sports

   Superstitions in sports can get a little cray-cray. I don’t believe in them … much … but when I heard the Washington State Band started dancing to “Back In Black” near the end of the game … I just had a feeling. The band’s moves were good and the dance team looked particularly in […]
