Sports Thoughts: Quincy, Taylor Co. QB's, and Wimbledon


1)Shocking development. Quincy Carter let his team and himself down, again.
Everyone that is surprised that Carter was no show for the Abilene Ruff Riders next to last game of the regular season stand on their head. I expected this kind of thing all season, and here it is. Carter was in and out of jail this season, and he showed up for practice and other team activities when he decided to show up. I am glad the team finally showed some backbone and sent this fella packing. See ya', Quincy. I wouldn't want to be ya'.

2)I am really excited to watch 3 quarterbacks that grew up in Taylor County play major college
football.
Colt McCoy(Jim Ned) is back for his 4th year as the Longhorns starting quarterback. Taylor Potts is the leading candidate to take over record-setting Graham Harrell at Texas Tech, and Case Keenum begins his 2nd season as the Houston Cougars full-time starter.


3)I just finished previewing all of the Texas teams in the Big XII and other conferences.
Did anyone else notice, the teams from the Lone Star State are picked to win all 3 conference titles. Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine says The University of Texas will win the Big XII, Houston is picked to win the Conference USA title, and Texas Christian University is expected to win the Mountain West Conference.


4)Saturday was the 30th anniversary of Breakfast at Wimbledon on NBC.
I remember the 1st one like it was yesterday. I was 11 years old, and I watched Bjorn Borg beat Roscoe Tanner for his 4th straight Wimbledon title. I became a Bjorn Borg fan. As a matter of fact, I am still a Bjorn Borg fan, and the Men's Wimbledon final has been a very important part of my life since that day.
