Andy Griffith (1926-2012)

If you’re like most people who grew up watching “The Andy Griffith Show,” Andy seemed more like a member of your family than an actor on television. Born on June 1st, 1926, Andy had just celebrated his 86th birthday about a month ago when he died on July 3rd.

His wife, Cindi, who was by his side as always when he left this life, said, “Andy was a person of incredibly strong Christian faith and was prepared for the day he would be called Home to his Lord. He is the love of my life, my constant companion, my partner, and my best friend. I cannot imagine life without Andy, but I take comfort and strength in God’s Grace and in the knowledge that Andy is at peace and with God.”

Lets Go Peay!

 

My Two Cents

Clarksville, TN – I don’t know what went wrong with the Austin Peay basketball team this year.  Picked to win the Ohio Valley Conference, the Governors now can’t seem to throw it in the ocean.

The frustration is all over coach Dave Loos’ face, but HE hasn’t given up on this team.  Have you?

I know that I for one don’t like the abuse we’ve received from Murray State this year, and there’s nothing I’d like more than to get to the OVC Tournament, and run the table.

Stranger things have happened.

I’ve watched this community go hot and cold on this program for years.  I remember seeing people at the little Red Barn during the Fly Williams era who didn’t even know what a basketball was, but something special was going on and they wanted some of it. «Read the rest of this article»

Austin Peay State UniversityClarksville, TN – On August 25th, 2006, NBC Executive Producer Jeff Fagan poked his head into the dressing room at CBS studios.

“Good luck, you’ve come a long way to get here. You’ve earned it,” he said to Byron Pitts.

Pitts was about to make his first on-camera studio open for the CBS News Broadcast “60 Minutes.” Pitts thought to himself, “if only Fagan knew.” His mind flashed back to elementary school, when a therapist informed his mother, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Pitts, your son cannot read.

Too Much Media?

 

Hank BonecutterPenn State football coaching legend Joe Paterno died this weekend, 14 hours AFTER the media said he did.

Disgraceful.  And I was part of it.

This is the problem with all of the media we have now.  EVERYBODY gets to be a part of it.   The explosion of social media in our lives allows us all to “spread the news” in a manner we’ve not been accustomed.

Saturday night it was reported by a Penn State publication called “Onward State”, that former coach Joe Paterno had died.  It was picked up by CBS and the Huffington Post.  Of course by the time the family was able to set the record straight that Paterno WAS alive, Twitter and Facebook had already spread the news around the world. «Read the rest of this article»
