SAN ANTONIO (TX) –- Things I think about while on the road: -- The $2 Blue Line ride to O’Hare from downtown Chicago has to rank as one of the all-time great travel bargains. 45 minutes, no traffic, no parking hassles. Boom. -- Great article in the inside back cover of the...

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Here's what I think about that: -- Joe Lunardi has UD in the Field of 64 in his latest version of Bracketology: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology That and $4 will barely get you a gallon of gas. -- Nice to see BG dip into the state of...

DAYTON (OH) -- Ted Kissell is getting his life back. After 16 years of strong leadership inside the UD athletic department, he’s going back to the things that matter most – family, tennis, and perhaps sitting on the couch all weekend with a bag of potato chips. Those are the things you miss...

CHICAGO (IL) –- I love me some random links: -- Remember the name: Lars Anderson. He is a 20 year old, power hitting 1B for the Portland Sea Dogs, a Red Sox AA farm team. He sure doesn’t sound like any 20 year old I’ve ever known in this interview with David Laurilla from...

CHICAGO (IL) –- One of the major differences between life in suburban Detroit and my new every-other-week home here in Chicago is commuting. In the D, people drive to work: one man or woman, one car, the way God intended it. In Chi-town, they have got the whole mass transit thing down to...

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) –- I can recall back in elementary school when the good Sisters of the Presentation at St. Leo’s Elementary School in Leominster, MA would to try and foist a “required reading list” off on all of us students over summer break. Yeah right, Sister…like I’m gonna do...
