Posting lag

Well, its that time of year when there's not too much to post about.

Coach Saban was in Mobile yesterday to kick off their state tour leading up to this falls football season. He hinted at how much Mobile mattered in rebuilding LSU when we was there and how it will be key to rebuilding the Crimson Tide back to its national prominence.

In a couple hours from now, groundbreaking will take place on the new Student Rec Center adjacent to Stanky Field. Now, for the people who are not familiar with South Alabama baseball, they will initially laugh at the name 'stanky field'. Eddie Stanky was a major league player, manager and eventually coach at South Alabama. He took USA from unknown to a widely known NCAA baseball team.

This same area where the new student rec center is going to be built, is the same area that students gather each spring semester to play 'Oozeball' before finals start. I wonder if it will still be held at the same area or if they will move it to another place on campus.

Also, tonight USA takes on Alabama at Stanky Field at 6pm.

Finally Thursday is release day for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I will be attending a release party at Picklefish from 7pm - until.

Sorry to leave this on your comments page, but I didn't see an email address.

I’m going around to all the Mobile area bloggers/freelancers to let them know about our new book by two local authors, the Historic Photos of Mobile by Carol Ellis and Scotty E. Kirkland. We’d love to send you a complimentary copy for possible review consideration on your blog of this book. This title is done in a large 10x10 format and all images used are culled from several archives that represent rare or never before seen photos of “Azalea City.” We’re trying to get the word out to local folks, so I hope you don’t mind me dropping you a line to let you know about our books!

You can find the authors locally at a signing at Beinville Books on May 9th at 5pm.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,
