Nice jinx. Let’s go Cats!!
I just went over and looked to see if anyone drafted Bill Spivey, but didn't find a complete draft list. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. He completely dominated HOF Clyde Lovellette in a UK/Kansas game for #1.Good Sunday morning everyone
Ugghhh....back to the Cellar Dwellers for us. I turned it off after the offsides at the goal line and the bungled FG. BB season has now officially started at my house.
I would like to see some of you go over to RR and check out the UK draft. Round 1 (2 games) has started and need some "older" fans voting. I have to say the 10 participants did a good job drafting some historical players. I think I was the oldest following the actual draft.
I'm still enjoying this great weather and may get to the lake next week.
I hope everyone has a great day.
No, he and Ralph Beard did not get drafted. They were about the only huge stars that didn't make it. Too early, point shaving scandal ????? L0ook for a post with draft Round 11 Complete in the title for the entire 10 team draft.I just went over and looked to see if anyone drafted Bill Spivey, but didn't find a complete draft list.

Remembering Warner Robins’ Bill Spivey – Houston Home Journal
Bill Spivey of Warner Robins could have been Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, instead, he became a forgotten footnote in basketball history; ahhjonline.com
They just did DNA tests on some of his descendants & confirmed he was a Sephardic Jew by ancestry. He must have gotten The Inquisition message. And also that it's him buried in Sevilla.Good morning folks.
First a word of thanks for both Christopher Columbus and "Indigenous Peoples Day."
Because while I am working, enough people took off for whatever they are calling today -- Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day -- that the Monday meeting I was dreading when I woke up today was canceled. Now, THAT'S a holiday.
My favorite Columbus story: He ended up buried in two places. He was originally buried in Santo Domingo in the DR, but then the king ordered his remains shipped back to Spain and he was buried in Seville. Except the people in the DR claim his brother knew he wanted to be buried there and so shipped back false remains, and he's really still there.
I visited his massive tomb in the DR in 1994. (see below, that's me in dark shirt.) Then we drove all the way from Santo Domingo to Port Au Prince, Haiti because the airport was closed. That belongs in the Road Trip Hall of Fame.
I hope it is a good day for all you folks.
That was the unsurprising findings by the team of Spanish researchers —that his remains are in Spain. I suspect we’ll hear from the Dominicans before too long that they have confirmed they have at least part of him. (That has long been the claim in the DR, that SOME of his remains were found after the Spanish dug him up in the 1890s to remove back to Spain after being booted out of the Caribbean following the Spanish-American War.)They just did DNA tests on some of his descendants & confirmed he was a Sephardic Jew by ancestry. He must have gotten The Inquisition message. And also that it's him buried in Sevilla.
