Since we are traveling this week to Calhoun to play 🥎I
I am always reminded of the day I threw BP with “no shoes, or socks”😂
Every day is a great day to throw, and to walk barefoot 🦶 down memory lane!
Word of the week: Throw

CLASS OF 2022 ATHLETE SCOREBOARD. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2026, EVENING UPDATE
Three developments across state and federal courts moved the board today, shifting one athlete to full preliminary injunction status while two pending actions head toward key hearings. Total tracked sits at 523.
RHODE ISLAND. FEDERAL COURT CONFRONTS CONFLICTING ELIGIBILITY RULINGS
In the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island, Judge Melissa DuBose heard more than two hours of preliminary injunction arguments covering Providence basketball guards Derek Simpson and Joseph Pinion. Judge DuBose noted on the record that "The chaos that you're seeking to mitigate is upon us. We're in it."
Both players had temporary restraining order requests denied on October 22 and remain sidelined without an entered decision following yesterday's hearing. Jesse Panuccio, arguing for the players, pointed out that the NCAA's published bylaws do not expressly contain the Class of 2022 exclusion, even though transition exceptions exist in other eligibility bylaws. The NCAA argued it must continue enforcing its rules uniformly regardless of conflicting state court injunctions entered in other jurisdictions.
UTAH. SCHLOSSER UPGRADED TO PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
In Schlosser v. NCAA, Utah gymnast Sayler Schlosser moved from temporary restraining order status to active preliminary injunction protection following an order entered on November 10.
WASHINGTON. WIGGINS HEARING SET IN SPOKANE COUNTY
Spokane County Superior Court Judge Dean Chuang will hear Chauncey Wiggins' expedited preliminary injunction motion on Thursday, November 12, at 1.30 PM Pacific. Wiggins remains sidelined and cannot compete until an order is signed. A favorable ruling on Thursday could clear him for Gonzaga's game against LSU on November 14.
The national board sits at 312 protected by preliminary injunction (+1 with Schlosser upgraded), 48 under temporary restraining orders (-1), 47 stayed, 86 denied, and 30 pending. Total athletes who have secured temporary restraining orders at any point holds at 401.
Chauncey Wiggins' expedited hearing in Spokane County tomorrow afternoon and RJ Godfrey's November 17 hearing in Pima County are the next two events on the docket.

"I went to Marine Corps bootcamp at Parris Island, then infantry training at Camp Lejeune.
I was an infantry rifleman, or what was called an MOS (Military Occupational Specialty).
I knew where I was going, and from there I soon got my orders to go to Vietnam.
I went to bootcamp on February 10, 1966, and was in Vietnam by the middle of July.
I did a 13-month tour over there.
I heard this thing explode and could feel the shock hit me.
It lifted me up in the air eight to ten feet.
The first thing I could remember thinking was:
"Damn, I’ve stepped on a landmine."
I wasn’t too worried because I could tell immediately it didn’t hit me anyplace where it could kill me.
It was one of those quick things when everything rushes through your mind at once.
Then I thought:
"What if I should come down on another one?"
Vietnam War veteran who served in the USMC as a radio operator and infantry platoon commander for the full 13 month tour in 1966 and 1967.
Chuck Goggin was awarded the Bronze Star, Vietnam Cross of Galantry and the Purple Heart, and was wounded after stepping on a landmind.
Chuck Goggin was the most decorated Vietnam War veteran to play in major league baseball.
"It was a big game because Roberto Clemente was playing right field, and he had 2,999 hits.
And I had zero hits.
But my first time up I got a hit off Jon Matlack.
The Mets rightfielder came in and got it on one hop and threw it in to second base.
This was before the time of all the high-tech stuff, but we had a Jumbotron screen up there.
At that moment, they put up a caricature of my face along with the message:
"That was Chuck Goggin’s first major-league hit!"
Doug Harvey was umping at second and he saw it.
He said:
"Time out!
Let me see that ball."
He got the ball and flipped it to me, saying:
"I thought you might like this."
I thanked him very much, and I still have the ball."
Roberto Clemente got his 3,000th and last hit in the same game!

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald

My favorite two parts of the background of Gordon Lightfoot writing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”:
1) Lightfoot read a news story on the wreck and they spelled the name of the ship wrong. Offended by this, he wrote the song to honor them properly.
2) The final verse contains the line “the church bell chimed til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.” This happens to this day on the anniversary at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. When Lightfoot passed away in 2023, they rang the bell 30 times—29 for the sailors lost and once for Lightfoot who immortalized them.
Happy anniversary today to my beautiful bride 👰 Joanna! She doesn’t have X and I can’t work Facebook, which seems to make us perfect together!
Here’s to many more wonderful years!
