Having coached baseball at all levels in both many REC Leagues and also in Travel Baseball Leagues, how many out there think that "Travel Baseball Is Killing Recreational Baseball Leagues - Dixie Youth - Cal Ripken - Little League - Countless Other Leagues"?  I would also pose this question...

As a True Southerner and devout historical student of the War Between The States Period of our great nation, one thing that I have found myself doing a little more and more each year and that is studying the Union Generals in a more honest and personal detail.  One of my favorite Union Generals...

Who goes to the Asheville, NC area enough to give a good account of some great steak/seafood/Italian restaurants to go to.  Planning up a trip up there soon and would like to dine more in Asheville, NC this time or at least one night.  Need help - got any????

I love good old BBQ - Hash & Rice.  That being said, I find that not a lot of places make very good hash & rice in South Carolina anymore or either I am going to the wrong places and I have eaten at just about every BBQ Restaurant in SC - except for the "North-West-Portion-of our state"...

I am just amazed at watching the Military Channel and reading a lot about the war in the Pacific during WW II.  After the cowardly - sneak attack on our Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, it is nothing short of a miracle story of how our nation rebounded from that sneak attack (and even though we put...

Well, the "Penis With Ears - Pawl Finnebaum" made a lot of excuses for Jawja today by saying everything but the right thing!  Jake Fromm played his worst game, Kirby Smart did not have his best coaching game, Jawja had every chance in the world to win the game - but didn't!!!  I don't thing...

I know this is early to post this, but I think that North Augusta High School is going to have a very good baseball team this upcoming season.  They played a lot of sophomores and juniors last season and they all got a lot of playing time.  They also played in a region that had South Aiken and...

Most people do not realize that Robert E. Lee was offered command of the Union Army by the Secretary of War for the Union Govt before he resigned his commission from the U.S. Army and went south to Virginia.  When Virginia finally did succeed from the Union, Robert E. Lee offered his sword to...

Going to do some nice pork chops either on my RECTEC Pellet Smoker or use my Black Egg Ceramic Cooker.  Ain't made up my mind about it yet?  Got a lot of work to do on my wooden deck, so that will also help me to decide what I will do my how much my butt is dragging when I am done???? Is it...

How many of you know about this "Minor Calvary Clash"?  Most likely saved the Town of Aiken at the time and the textile mills in Graniteville, SC.  Lt. Gen Dan Hill had a big trench dug  somewhere between Graniteville and the Bath Mill (which was also saved) with about 10,000 Confederate...

The Only Southern State That Did Not Have Troops Fighting For Both Sides Was South Carolina. All Southern States had troops that formed regiments that fought for the North with exception of the State of South Carolina.  I think that this was due to the fact that the Southern War For...

I love to cook a "rack of lamb" about once every three months and it always comes out great.  Lamb is a different taste of meat, but in many parts of the USA they love it. So, who out there in the Gamecock Nation loves to cook lamb and how do you do it???

I guess that this is one of the most talk about battles of the War Between The States.  Some call it the "high-water-mark-" of the Confederate Nation.  There are a lot of books out there about this one battle and many have to do with "--un-coordinated attacks by Gen Lee and his Corp Commanders" ...

Well I grilled two lovely "ribeye steaks" tonight for me and my wife and they turned out beautiful and tasted awesome!!  Cooked them on my "Black Egg Ceramic Cooker" and got the sear marks on both sides and then moved them up to the next level in my ceramic cooker and cook them to a medium rare...

My 2nd favorite Confederate General during the "Late War Of Northern Aggression".  Lt. General Nathan Bedford Forrest started out the war as a private and was the only soldier to rise to the highest rank that he finally did as a Lt. General for the Confederate Army in Tenn and also independent...

This is a great book written in a shorter form than the original three volume set that Mr. Douglas Southall Freeman wrote about General Robert E. Lee.  This book as you can tell is almost like writing about a Southern War God - as Mr. Freeman writes a great book about our Greatest American...

I love reading and hearing about all military war/stories from just about any time period, but I will have to say that the "THREE VOLUME SET - THAT SHELBY FOOTE - ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR - WHICH TOOK HIM TWENTY YEARS TO COMPLETE" is without a doubt the greatest collection of material for someone to...

How many of you "Weekend Pit Masters" have cooked brisket and did it turn out like you wanted it???  I am still waiting to do my first one as it is just me and my bride and she eats like a bird and I would have to eat brisket for about a week. So, how about some great brisket tales.

Since many of you know that I truly love to grill/smoke all types of pork/poultry/beef and sometimes fish, I would like to tell everyone what my two or three favorite BBQ Restaurants are if I am not making it myself. 1.  Carolina BBQ in New Ellenton, SC.  Not much to look at from the outside or...

I know that there are a lot of folks on this website that love great tasting ribs like I do.  I do the "3-2-1 - Johnny Triggs Style" for my ribs and they have yet to disappoint me and everyone that has tasted them state that they love them.  Johnny Triggs - BBQ World Champion Pit Master and is...
