The Big O

Word comes that James Owens, Auburn's first black football player, has passed away.  I remember James Owens well as he was there when I was a student.   I remember him being called "The Big O."  He had a kind of plodding, stomping way of running the football.  How difficult it must have been for him during those days to break the football color barrier.  He was a good Auburn man.

Spring So Far

Excepting the girls softball team which has lost only one game, it's been a lousy spring so far.  The basketball team is getting worse.  We beat Alabama at home, we beat Kentucky, and we beat Arkansas on the road.  Other than that, it's been awful  The baseball team can't hit  They have gone 17 innings in a row without a run.  Oh well!
