by Bill Murphy It is Vermont Football Day on Saturday in Rutland. What was born a few years ago (2010 if you lost track) in Castleton has continued to be the shining star of the gridiron season. Six teams and a large crowd gather for one day to showcase the games best teams in each […]
by Bill Murphy It’s Final Four Time in all football divisions in Vermont. Excitement reigns as most teams feel they can do what it takes to win this week. Although this corner feels all three divisions will end up with one versus two match-ups, no one knows for sure. Beginning with Division I, Hartford and […]
The 7-0 Rice victory over St. Johnsbury in high school football on Saturday was a shocker. Rice had one win on the year and St.Johnsbury was undefeated. It was the biggest upset in years. I know you can say that they’re kids and anything can happen in high school football, but the fact is upsets […]
by Bill Murphy There are times throughout life that one finds themselves wondering, does age matter? This week it did. I sometimes think that being twelve years old is a special time. Your interests have formed, your responsibilities are still at a fairly low level and there are some very special days ahead. HOWEVER, this week, […]
So it was high school football Friday night in Colchester, Norwich football yesterday in Northfield, and now the final two days of the Lake Monsters season late this afternoon and early tomorrow afternoon at Centennial Field. Holiday Weekend? What Holiday Weekend? Boy am I lucky that I actually like what I do! Thought on the […]
George and I are back on our show a week from tomorrow and will be on the show twice a week with lots of state wide stuff and lots of interviews. The show will be oriented to Vermont topics and that’s what will set us apart from other shows. Of course we will be talking […]
by Bill Murphy Hit the road again is the theme song for the Red Sox for basically the rest of the 2016 season. Beginning with Monday’s make-up game versus Cleveland, they play thirty of their final forty-six games on the road. At least the rumor is, they will open next year at home for […]
There will be a new football team in Division 3 high school football this year in the state of Vermont and that will be a CO-OP team combining MSJ and Poultney. Obviously a move made because of the small numbers at both schools. So MSJ and Poultney will have a CO-OP team similar to other […]
My prediction was Carolina 35 Denver 20. Boy did I ever whiff on that one! I really thought Cam Newton would do pretty much what he has done all year. I never anticipated how bad he would be. The defense had a lot to do with it, but I probably didn’t give them enough credit. […]
Usually during the playoffs or the Super Bowl I write down some thoughts for the following day’s blog. Yesterday was no different. Other than the fact that I think I’ve now got a sinus infection. Two weeks straight of sickness-this thing has to go. Anyway, enough with the poo poo party, here’s my thoughts: I […]
