Beta Pi Blog, Vol.2010, No.03 - Sports Edition

Beta Pi:






IS BETA PI BLOG WITHOUT ANY REDEEMING SOCIAL OR ARTISTIC MERIT?:

YEA . . . . OR

NAY?

Beta Pi Blog exists for one reason: to bring ATO, Beta Pi Chapter Brothers together. The blog does not take itself very seriously - it is meant for fun, and therefore is non-political. It includes

pictures, links, Archives of previous issues, and other time-wasters.

My wife and my step-daughter are sports fans - I have never been much of a fan. I love to go to games, but I don’t watch sports on television much. However, in the last few days - various sports phenomena have taken a front seat in my attention span, and the Blog now brings you . . .

SPORTS EDITION




BASKETBALL - COMMODORES WIPE VOLS 85-76 IN KNOXVILLE. Our Commodores scored a big victory over Tennessee on Wednesday night!

Vandy Men are now 5-0 in the SEC, their best SEC start since 1966!

I contacted Frank Biller  fbiller1@msn.com  to get his comment on this:



Buck said - The Dores are on-freakin’-fire, they are freakin’-hot, best freakin’-team in the freakin’-SEC - - maybe you can’t tell how excited I am - - I’m just flabber-freakin’-gasted!!



Thanks, Frank.



Here is a link to the Jeff Lockridge story in the Tennessean - http://www.tennessean.com/article/201001280210/SPORTS0602/1280351



GOLF - ABOMINABLE DOCTOR PHIBES PLAYS HOPE CLASSIC.

We all know the capacity of Doctor Phibes in generating rumors - and my golfing sources have confirmed it - apparently there is no end to it.


Rumor now has it that in the area of serial philandering - The Abominable Doctor Phibes is trying to compete with the world’s most famous golfer.





Phibes  matthewjhart@yahoo.com  himself  provided an astonishing photo from the Bob Hope Classic. My friends, the good Doctor has no shame!

Coincidence? . . . between the

PERILS OF PHIBES, and the

TROUBLES OF TIGER?

The Blog merely reports . . . YOU DECIDE.

BILLIARDS. The Blog has always had an interest in pool.





One of my favorite movie scenes is that great scene in The Hustler, where Eddie the Hustler has just beaten the Great Man, Minnesota Fats. Eddies’ former Manager (played by George C. Scott) yells at Eddie:

Eddie, you . . . owe . . . me . . . MONEY!

Well, as you may have guessed, there is no real news on the Billiards  front, but rumor has it that

Jimmy Apollo Grissett  jimgrissett@aol.com  - has topped his own record, and still holds the unofficial championship in . . .

POCKET POOL!






YEAH!!






YOU GO JIMMY!
