The Peterson Principle 3/30/10

I didn’t see many of “The Butler did it” headlines as I thought I would after the Bulldogs advanced to the Final Four. I did see “Served by Butler” and “Butler Goes Home.” I think I was actually the first to write it immediately after the game on Facebook.

The Peterson Principle 3/17/10

By Tim Peterson That was a cool haircut that Ron Artest was sporting Sunday against Orlando. But it didn’t seem to help. Besides hasn’t it been done before?

  I finally got out to see some high school basketball this week. The annual Temple City – La Salle Holiday Classic is always a good place to start. There were some good players, solid teams and competitive games. I’m not sure why but the transition from football seemed tougher this year.
