Six-Pack for Sunday
-- ESPN televised a high school football game Saturday; if that isn't weird enough, there were 10,000 people watching the game in person. On an 86-degree day in August.
-- Game pitted a team from Florida at the team that won last three South Carolina state titles (Byrnes HS in Duncan); on one, play, a Florida kid ran for TD, and did Nestea plunge into the end zone. Play got called back by a penalty.
-- The scoreboard at Byrnes has a $250,000 Jumbotron in it. Seriously, the booster club bought a $250,000 Jumbotron.
-- I am thinking that high schools playing day games isn't real smart, since some kids play both ways, and in summer heat, it has to be exhausting.
-- Remember when Memphis recruited Dajuan Wagner, and they hired his dad (former NBA player Milt) as Director of Basketball Operations? Well, Wagner just got hired as an assistant at UTEP, by former Memphis assistant Barbee, the new head man in El Paso. Does Milt have another son?
-- Darko Milicic's last two games at World Championships: 24 pts, 12 reb/18 pts, 15 reb. Considering those games were against Argentina, Spain, and that the games are just 40 minutes long, not 48, those are two pretty good efforts.
