By MONTE DUTTON (Furman photo) Click here. The only time I ever went to Augusta National was when I was barely out of Furman. I wrote columns on Saturday and Sunday, and, man, am I confident they were horrible. I enjoyed it, but I think, even at the time, I thought once was enough. Never …

Blue Hose Blurbs: PC to play 12 football games
By MONTE DUTTON (Monte Dutton photo) Click here. In advance of Friday night’s spring scrimmage, things are looking up for Presbyterian College football in Steve Englehart’s third season as head coach. It’s a big sky. The Blue Hose went 1-10 amid the wreckage left in the wake of Kevin Kelley’s only season as head coach. …

County Signs: Raiders’ Goss hurls gem, 1-0
By MONTE DUTTON Asher Goss fired a no-hitter. (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. The best thing about the baseball game at Ed Prescott Field on Wednesday night wasn’t the hot dogs. They’re good. Not as good as the ones at Whiteford’s Drive-In or Steamers. Slaw is an available condiment at those two spots, but hot …
Furmanology: Dick Sheridan’s losing season
By MONTE DUTTON (Monte Dutton photo) Click here. Young men wouldn’t play football if it wasn’t fun. The most fun is winning. At the same time, a losing season, while unthinkable, can be beneficial. Dick Sheridan, who died last summer, coached the Paladins for eight seasons, accumulating a record of 69 victories, 23 defeats and …
County Signs: Red Devils quiet Cyclones, 3-1
By MONTE DUTTON Carson Glenn was perfect in relief. (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. This is how I’ve changed on social media. I let more go. For instance, just a minute ago, I read a post that expressed this view in the form of a question; “What grown man still eats peanut butter and jelly …

Furmanology: Mercer finishes of Dins in extras
By MONTE DUTTON (Furman photo) Click here. Had Iowa won the women’s basketball championship on Sunday, Caitlin Clark might have been named a finalist to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate. She’s too young. It violates the Constitution. That doesn’t seem to stop anyone else these days. Iowa didn’t win the game Sunday. South …

Blue Hose Blurbs: PC sets baseball record on Gamecocks’ big day
By MONTE DUTTON (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. I think my favorite UFL team is the Birmingham Stallions. This ranks on the personal totem pole at about the same level as my favorite team in the Premier League. I have nothing against either. I just don’t have room for an infinite variety of sports and …

Furmanology: No baseball … but lacrosse wins
By MONTE DUTTON (Furman photo) Click here. I conducted some web research and have confirmed that Connecticut’s Donovan Clingan is not a Klingon, though, in fairness, I did find some disreputable site that claimed he was, as well as Purdue’s Zach Edey and N.C. State’s D.J. Burns. The Wolfpack had quite a run. I can’t …

Blue Hose Blurbs: McDaniel holds line for PC comeback
By MONTE DUTTON Eli Lazio (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. While waiting for the men’s Final Four games, which didn’t commence till 6 p.m., and while monitoring electronically local games, I enjoyed a documentary on William F. Buckley and a Randolph Scott western. The day began with breakfast at Steamers, which now only serves it …

Furmanology: On Caitlin and tennis’s mastery of El Cid
By MONTE DUTTON (Furman photo) Click here. Caitlin Clark is great. So is women’s basketball. But the women’s game and the men’s are not the same. They may be equally entertaining. Clark may be the greatest women’s player ever, but she and Pete Maravich – or Michael Jordan or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or LeBron James – …
