Are kids cramming in too many AP classes and ditching lunch in the mean time?
This is an interesting look at some super competitive behavior. New York Times
I've talked to several kids at BHS who have taken tons of AP classes but I hadn't heard about them skipping lunch periods to schedule...

The big R word — recession.
It's looming large, many economists say, and it's hitting college students hard. Many lenders are tightening standards, raising rates and making it otherwise difficult for students (or their parents) to get their hands on money to pay for school.
Some lenders...

Just giving an update to an earlier blog on the Nevada high school football player that gave a verbal commitment to UC-Berkley last Friday only to have the validity of his national letter of intent questioned.
Turns out it was a hoax. He lied about the recruiting. He lied about talking with Cal...

A good friend and former colleague of mine when I worked in Yuma, Ariz., sent me this story from the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Truly a bizarre case of a coach not protecting his athlete. If four or five BCS football programs are supposedly recruiting your top...

I've had my share of humble pie the last few weeks. Just once, I'd like for someone else to be humbled by my prowess at picking winners. But it probably won't happen this week.
There's plenty of hyperbole being tossed around this week in the national media about the Patriots-Colts game, but...

We bid adieu to two experts this week. Prep writer Brad Riddell and college writer Mason Kelley are both leaving The Californian for greener pastures, sunnier beaches and dare I say, more money. Folks, let me just say it's the nature of the industry.
Quality, young reporters tend to...

Our barnyard colleague, Jester, proved exactly what we thought could and ultimately would happen when we dreamed up the idea of having him make picks in our Beat the Experts contest.

After two miserable weeks I was ready to call it a career. You can ask my wife. She actually thought she was going to make my picks last week because I was so down on myself. Well, I redeemed myself as an expert with a 12-3 finish. That was the best finish among the panel, and only two...

I had a bad week. Actually our panel of 7 sports experts and a goat had a bad week. We gave away 33 bumper stickers and Haddad did a few free oil changes courtesy of our ineptness at picking winners in Week 2. Good for you, bad for us.
Anyway, here's my picks for Week 3:

With Florida back at the big dance for the 2nd year in a row, they're looking to prove that last year's national championship wasn't a fluke. They are loaded with outside shooters and a tough inside game. Ohio State has a monster for a big man, Greg Oden, and a quick point guard...

My grandson, Ryan Mathews, is almost famous! Well, around here, anyway. Anyone who pays any attention to the sports page or the sports section of the news knows who he is. It's kind of cool to have a celebrity in the family. He get's those "is that him?" looks from people when we are...

Growing up there was nothing I watched more than college basketball. I loved the intensity the players played at, the feel of the game, the love the fans had for their teams and the atmosphere at the games. When I watched some of my favorite teams on television, I saw that the fans were...
