Tabb Tigers Sports

#10

#10...#10...#10...#10...#10...no hidden messages here, I am just saying Tabb girls basketball are (or is?) #10 in the state! ...which is good news...but Grafton is one up on us...AND we beat them! I do not understand that, I smell something fishy...who voted in this state poll? I did not, to make all this make sense this blog will officially alter this list. Tabb and Grafton will switch spots, now Grafton is #10 and Tabb is #9. It is only logical to do so. If anyone has a problem...come us on Thursday! It feels pretty nice being past the top 10 in the state! Man, we're awesome! I guess we should be saying #9...#9...#9...#9...#9....now there is a hidden message there!

COME SEE #9

Yes, girls basketball plays tonight...but it is not at home. If you wish to see this state ranked team you will have to travel to Lafayette...but is that length when you are seeing #9 in the state? This team has only loss one district game...Grafton cannot say that! I read the article about them, I think all this success comes from the genius of tabb girls basketball...no I mean literally...the mean gpa is like 4.3. You can try to out smart these girls on the court...but have already figured out the next four plays. They already know the exact scores of the next two games. The equation has been changed, E= tabb girls basketball now. It was a break through this season. We have a team of Lady GZAs...no one gets that reference...but it is an compliment, trust me. I cannot quite relate this team anyone...I had a 3.5 once...and that is the closet I have come to the 4s. Someone has like a 4.9 on the team, I believe...that means we may have to replace 4.7! But besides the brains in this crew, they can still play. Everyone from Pulverizing Piazza, Swingin' Swenson, Trick Mackey, In-Cain, Mahan the Machine, The Joker, Striker Stratton, and everyone else. The team is using their brain power to attract everyone to go the game tonight. Can't resist...most drive 2 hours to see...everyone should...I hear it will be worth it...#9 is becoming #8, now #7, #5, too much brain power I cannot control my own thought...so everyone, tonight at 7 at Lafayette, be there or be lame!

KEEPIN' IT INDOORS

Because it is cold outside and not suitable for running. Well...I do have results from the track meet yesterday. They are a little difficult to read...I mean there is just so much of them...I don't know where to begin, or if I should include everything. I'll post the ones I find most noteworthy...also, good news is I found an actual team roster...so better late than never correct? Anyhow, to start with the 300 Meter Dash Brittni King came in 4th with a time of 42.55 and now the 500 she got 3rd with time of 1:20.28. Also in the 500 Taylor Omweg got 5th with a time of 1:21.51. Also, Harmatz was in 8th with a time of 1:21.90. We had many in the top 10 for that. In the 1000 Leigh Ann Soitsmann came in 5th with a time of 3:12.36. In the 3200 Kara Enoch came in 3rd with a time of 12:18.66. Sydney Omweg, the other Omweg, came in 9th with a time of 12:57.32....and, okay there are (or is?) pages and pages of results. I am going to be here for awhile, and I gotta make class soon and I do not really know to report on jumping results...but don't worry I am not blowing anyone off, just go to this site http://va.milesplit.com/meets/104295/results/186826 ...it is all there. Maybe I should have posted this it begin with...that would be extra lazy..I make stuff personal...it is good I know where to find things now...good job track...I will have results up more often...but isn't this the last meet of the season...besides districts?...Well I will have results for the big meets nonetheless!

ALL OVER

Man, my reporting has been all over the place today! I started with a game that is tonight, then put up results that are from yesterday, and now I am about to discuss the game that is going on tomorrow. I Tarantinoed this blog today....but the state recoginition was big news and after that it only seemed fitting to continued with girls basketball. This paragraph is not about girls hoops, however, we are at the boys point of view now! You thought that Ram Roast was big, wait until the Clipper Crash. We be crashing their party tomorrow night. They think they got this, but this is not the same Tabb from the beginning. Naw, it is back in it's true Baggettbal form...which means grafton always losses. And when that happens Tabb boys may end up being ranked as well. This very well maybe the biggest game since the start of the new year. Can we prove ourselves? The girls did it at Grafton once, so I do not see why the boys can't! Sure, Grafton has that one tall, skinny guy, but we have the Postman, Mr. Defense, Number 3, Machete Mitchell, Buffkin, Big Willie, Nati, Today's Ryan Sawyer, and the whole entire team. That is more than one tall, skinny guy. So all hands on deck tomorrow, we are tipping over this clipper. It is winter, ships should not be sailing, ask the Titanic! Yes, Grafton is getting a vertical drop. But this loss is something you cannot hold on to, your heart has to go on to the next game. Just make sure there are enough life boats for everyone this time. Help out in this cause, tomorrow night at Grafton at 7, be there or be lame. It will be the Titanic all over...except minus the loss of innocent lives and crappy movie years later.

TABB BLOG HIPSTER

The picture is not strange...this is how hipster celebrate..eating baguette bread. It is a very celebratory meal in the hipster culture...and that is also a hipster's version of a happy face. They never quite smell fully...because that is so mainstream. The Tabb Blog Hipster is very happy, but all the underrated sports are doing very good this winter. The sports that do not get that much coverage, less than field hockey!, like swimming, indoor track,...and maybe girls basketball in the past...they are too popular now. The others following is slowly rising before everyone jumps the bandwagon, remember the Tabb Blog Hipster was there first. In the end her sports may end up having the most success at the end of the season...so, though we do not understand much about them, hipsters know what is good in sports. It is good our hipster is no longer sad anymore. The Tabb Blog Hipster is just saying to pay attention to these not so popular sports too...they do just as good...but not too many people like it...but if the right am0unt like them, she might invite you over for some baguette and organic milk. Yum!

Yes, after that we are done for today. Start getting ready for Grafton tonight though...the more prepared we are the more likely that Clipper will end up at the very bottom of the ocean...like the dark part! Well good luck girls basketball, good job track, am I invited for some baguette Tabb Blog Hipster?, anyone else want a shoutie?, and I hope everyone has a good one. I shall return tomorrow. Like everyone else is...right? Oh snap, it is a new month....which means...we'll find out...see ya then! Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

Fear fears Mr. Baggett.

ONE OF THOSES CASES...

Back to another Monday, huh? It is not so bad…Feburary is soon and that month always goes by fast….though Valentine’s Day is on that date, which is not very favorable to many, but we’ll deal with that when we get there! Anyhow, sometimes things seem way off, but they get there here before you know it…like spring break…like my spring break, second week of March…yours? Oh yeah that is forever away! That sucks! Monday is a dirty word, so that is why on this blog we call it Funday!! Feel happy now?  We are about to start the fun, hang on tight and enjoy your ride.

TODAY

I do not think I have ever started out with an indoor track story, but there is a first time for everything! Congrats guys, steppin’ up in the world…that is kinda like a joke…is there stepping in indoor track. You run a lot, so it is kinda like steppin’…that joke was a fail! Hey, our winter track team has already had state qualyfiers! They are waiting for us up there, now we are just trying to add more people at the big event. So the answer is yes…we have a pretty decent indoor track team. Who else can Finkenauer? Only Tabb! A

nd Commander Curren is back, so he is trying to make an appearance at sattes too, Who else is there? D-Cam, Matt ‘All That’ Reed, Garzerick, ahh…I mean there are so many on the team, seriously name someone, they are probably on the team! Someone go to the meet and find out who else I can discuss! It is today at 3 at the Boo. Our opponent is Jamestown as it reads on my schedule, but at these events everyone kinda faces every. It will Tabb vs. THE WORLD!! Bring it on! Come watch the team who is faster than the speed of the light…combined together, be there or be lame!

TOMORROW

If you missed the party on Saturday you can make the one on Tuesday…but it is all the way up in Williamsburg. The boys took down Lafyette and now the girls have their chance…though this is no situation of chance…just how fast and how much scored! We had a Ram Roast on Friday, so this is like the same thing…but we’ll try to make it different. It is cold outside, so this time we’ll have some ram soup. I hear it is pretty and warms you up…if a Tabb doesn’t! I do not ever pay attention to other teams besides Tabb, so I have no clue how the Lafyette girls team is, but all I do know is they are not Tabb…that is good enough for me! It seemed tabb was not going to pull it trhough last game, but do not ever lose hope. They all fully know what to do when and how. There is no need to worry! Especially when you have saurday’s MVP Pulverizing Piazza, Trick Mackey, In-Cain, the Sparkler, the Joker, Striker Stratton, Mahan the Machine, and the entire team. It is still winter and they are still the hottest team! Very flammable. That net will be burning! …however, do not worry they will not burn out…until May. See the team that just keeps winning and we all just fine with that! Tabb girls basketball against Lafayette up there, another Ram Roast, so be there or be lame!

POPCORN’S PICKS

How has Popcorn’s record been since Friday night…actually a bit exciting, rather than what this picture says, well instead of 9-7, he is 13-8! It was a good weekend for him. I do not know how this week will be there…no seriously…just between you and me…Popcorn has a vet appointment! I am not one of those owners who spells it…Popcorn is a cat. He only knows what words I am saying when I say food or dinner! He is still on a kitten reading level too, so I think he will not dramatized….though he had dramatized me enough! Anyhow, we  will see if any of this will affect his picks this week. Here the are…

Lafayette 58   York 30

Jamestown 64   Grafton 62

New Kent 71   Smithfield 66

Poquoson 67   Bruton 65

Tabb 100  Warhill 0

They look pretty decent. I see nothing to complain about…well I don’t know hwy I would be complaining in the first place…sometimes I justy write stuff to take up space! But we will see how things work out this Friday…and Popcorn good luck at the vet…oh, I did it again didn’t I? Oh well, I do not like shots…so quit your whinning!

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Emily Piazza – for making the last second shot to beat Lafayette

Baggettball – for beating Lafyette and making the district fully aware Tabb meansn business!

Derek Meyers – I heard he won gold at the wrestling event this weekend. I nevber have much wrestler players of the week!

Nick Curren – for returning as our commander!

Honorable Mention: Exams – they ruled most of last weekend!

There they are. Did I miss someone? Let it known!

Hey, it is Kirby, our favorite mascot…well our only mascot…do we have any others? Sometimes we have another tiger hanging around, Slade, but for the most part it is just Kirby. In between his cat naps he makes game…but I cannot comment if he will bbe back at the Grafton game. Sure, it is away, but you can still go, if he pays. It is not looking as if he will be around this week…no he is not broke…I mean I don’t how tigers get money…but these are the Grafton Clippers…which are ships in the ocean…and Kirby does not know how to swim.  Yes, he is a cat, but Tigers can swim…they are adapted felines. Kirby feel embarrsed to be a tiger. I did explain to him that it was just a name and there will be no water…but the word clipper reminds him of how he feels like a failure. Kirby is now on here asking for swimming lessons. If there is anyone willing to teach a 300 pound human like tiger, please let your voice be heard. We have spoiled our mascot a little too much, help bring his instincts back. Kirby will be around, but a little bummed. Question: does anyone know if tigers can get ymca passes?

So, this it for today, so it still good, right? I don’t know…sometimes you have entries like these…but it has been worse…please someone tell me it has been worse! It end this I will say good luck track, luck to Popcorn, someone help out Kirby, and…it is Monday, you know…I don’t think I can change it to Funday officially…lett’s just help each other make it through. Luck to you all. See ya on a better day…Tuesdaay! Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

Mr. Baggett is too good for the Harlem Globetrotters.



STILL HERE!!

I am just sayin' I have not forgotten anything...I'm a little later than usual...but I did not forget. I have been getting up early ever since Monday, so give me at least one day to sleep in! So what is today? Oh, yeah a new week! And nothing quite strenuous is going on...well no exams...you could have tests...no half days either...but no exams still...maybe exam week is better than I thought. Well, it is Grafton Week II: Winter Edition. Baggettball gets revenge and girls hoops just repeats what they have done before...concerning athletics it is a big week...academically?...blog wize?...let's hope...time to jump into this!

P-A-R-T-Y! T-A-Double B!

We sure did plan ahead for this party. The game had not even been played yet and we had balloons, cafetti, cake, a DJ, a disco ball (new age and vintage), and more things than you can imagine...but we never thought how the game would end up. There almost was no Panther Party at all! I have always said Bruton is a team to watch out for...I mean what else do you do when you go to school. First, let relive anyone from worry, Tabb did win...but it almost did not happen. The game was close throughout, anyone's game as they say...in the final seconds was ahead, but alot can be done in 6 seconds, Emily Piazza knows that for she went for a basket and...nothing but net!!! Tabb won! No losses to add! We could still party! We did not waste a bunch of money! Tabb girls basketball is clutch! They know what they are doin'! No worries. The scorers were The F-bomb blew up twice, Pulverizing Piazza had 15, Mahan the Machine put up 4, Trick Mackey got 2, Swinton had 4 (new name? Did they mean Swenson?) , In-Cain put up 4, Merciful MacFarlane got 6, and Joker Joseph had 2. All that means is a Bruton win...barely...but more of a reason to celebrate. Tabb played very well....the only negative you can accuse us of is...breaking Bruton's heart...you'll give to you panthers, you came to play. Did we still party? Heck yes! All night long...but Bruton was allowed in! It was jammin'! I wish we could have a party every tijme tabb girls bball wins, but we simply do not have the budget! The party planning comittee worries about celebration, the team just worries about getting the win. Next game is away at Lafayette...I don't know...Ram Roast part II? I know everyone love it the first time! Tuesday in Williamsburg at 7...get yo' self a leg or a hoof...be there or be lame. Good job girls!

SCHEDULE

It is not as blank as last week! Almost every night ha something attached to it and no exams aree going, so no excuses...and it is Grafton, so I do not need to even need  tell you those games are mandatory. Let us all rejoice! Weekly games are back and will be here until like March-ish...but let's be thankful for what we have now. This how the week be lookin'...

MONDAY: Indoor track meet at 3 against Jamestown at the Boo

TUESDAY: Girls hoops AT Lafayette at 7

WEDNESDAY:  Baggettball AT Grafton at 7

THURSDAY: Girls basketball against Grafton at 7

FRIDAY: Baggettball AT Warhill at 7; Wrestling district tourney at 5:30 at Tabb

SATURDAY: Tourney continues alllllllllll day!!

Sunday: A Giant Win?

So, yeah back to reality again, but gravity is not going anywhere...I am lame...good stuff, right? Grafton, tournaments, super bowls...who can ask for more? Be thankful for what is going on and show up for to a game...or else, are you really a Tabb fan? That is not a Tabbie thing to do...maybe a Tabber though...

AS PROMISED

I said I would have all field hockey banner pictures up and Martin Phillips is a man of his word. Maybe not Marvin Phillips, but that guy sucks! He is my blog stalker who wants to be just like me! When you are at a celebrity status you always attract some weirdos...but field hockey should know, they are bigger than me! Yeah, i went to alotta game...wait I am not their weirdo! Anyhow, here are the photos...

  

 

 

 

 

                                              
And in this last picture you can see an even better shot of Marty's bald head. Remember if you click on the small pics they get bigger, do not worry! So, yeah, this is all of 'em! Congrats once again field hockey. I do not know of any other sport that has not only 4 state titles in the a row, but including the 2000 win...I think we can now give Tabb field hockey a new title: Most Winningest (it's a word!) Sport in School History!

INTRIGUING

I just heard this st0ry and found it, as I wrote, intriguing...yes. York High School is just having...or had a small event honoring past coaches. I know it does sound familiar....wait Tabb did like the same thing first....like in October! I know I cannot be too angry...they have had some good coaches as well, but they are honoring Hovis...did they fire him back in the day? Most his success was at Tabb....seriously a high majority of it! I am just saying, it is another case of the Tabb-wagon. It is just like a bandwagon except everyone wants to be like Tabb! I think ever since Tabb athletics started to be good York has just been jealous...this is nothing new! I know I am complaining...but there is nothing really bad here. It just how influential tabb is. We did a honoring program first and now all the other schools realize it is a good idea. Maybe this is something to be proud of. Tabb Touchdown is a genius! It is good know so many great men...and women will finally be honored for their accomplishments at their schools....and in about 15 or 20 years, it will be my turn...right? It makes sense...am I right? Of course, Baggett first!

Meyers and Phillips are kinda out of business...and let us being honest doing movie reviews was a dumb idea! Our last names together just sounded good! But we do recommend the film The Artist. It lived up to it's hype. It is a great film...and silent...yes like from the 20s...but it works...but is easier to fall asleep during...also classy, nothing less for this blog. Sport-related? There is tap dancing and that takes enough skill as sports do...so yes! It has been such a long time since our last review...new?...eew...it is hard distance wize...and still kinda dumb....hey, no one on the wrestlinhg team! I do not know their actual results...but Derek the Dingo and Junio silver (recount!)...and that is all I know! But i will get the results soon enough...and did you know they were in Bel Air, Maryland this weekend! The Artist, Bel Air, this blog is fancy! Bel Air...that makes me think of..."Now this story how, my life got flipped upside down..."

Once we start singing television theme it is time to go. It has been long enough anyway...so shoutie saying good job girls bball, good job wrestling, congrats field hockey, good week ahead, what up Meyer & Phillips, stay away from me Marvin Phillips,you are welcome York,  a good day to all my classy gentlemen, and everyone else keep it classy as well...and have a good one. I will be tomorrow, no surprise, I hope people actually do return too...or this would be be alot of writing for nothing! I know someone is...Thanks Mom! Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

Mr. Baggett's own reflection is scared intimidated by him.

WHAT UP? WHAT UP?

It was quite the reunion last night, I wish I could've been there! Now this year's field hockey team's championship is truly marked in the record books. There are more pictures as we continue...but first, look in the corner of the pic...the bald scalp....it must be Marty O'Brien! It is a Marty sighting! He knew where to be...or where his people told him to be! See everyone was there last night...but now it is Saturday. This is it a big deal that it is a Saturday? I mean yesterday was like a weekend to you guys too…so any real difference today? Seriously, today is pretty much just like yesterday for you guys. You have no school and there is a basketball game tonight….this is like the same day over again. Groundhog day is like in a week…so it is a week early…I wonder if Popcorn will see his shadow this year?...all our wins depend on my cat, I can’t believe I put so much on him either…I don’t think things will be that similar…I hope not…let us start and see…

THE ROAST

Naw, we weren't making fun of anyone...Lafayette was doing that themselves. Okay, okay fine...it was not that embarrassing...but we did fry them pretty good. It was a win for Tabb! I said we never let Lafayette beat us twice. We are coming back! No has beat us twice this year..well...point is Baggettball is most definitely dangerous as ever! We roasted rams last night...some ate their meat raw! Beat that...or just beat us...if you can...shut up Bruton! This game a very heavily equally matched. Each team scored about the same amount each period...Lafayette even score more than Tabb did in the 4th...but it was too much too late for the Tabb Tigers won 66-60. Exam week paid off, we all see a wonderful victory. The scorers were Today's Ryan Sawyer had 13, Lil' Baggett had 5, Big Willie put up 4, Machete Mitchell had 16, The Postman made 11 deliveries, Stilts Schiele had 7, and Joe the Show Nelson  got 10. All that equals a Tabb win we have been waiting for all week! The cookout was great...I hope every has an appreciation for ram meat now. There was plenty for  all! Let's do it again sometime...but not next game...you can't eat a boat! Yes, that is correct...Grafton is up next! Start preparing now...want another roast...I am all for cannibalism...weird? Ah...good job guys!

He is back....our faithful navigator....and lookin' a bit awkward. Well, he has been gone for so long! Nick was excited he got there super early, as you can see! Commander Curren was lost, was found, studied his old battle plans, and found out they work just as good in basketball as they did in football. The Orange Army achieved success in the fan section…all thanks to the leadership of Commander Curren. He did not lose his touch. It is true that Nick never failed anyone…but only did so when he left. It was in him the whole time, Now he believes and fortunately, as you can as he is back like on the battle front! This will be the scene at most games. Yes, for most of the season our army has been abandoned, but we have managed respectfully…but now back to business. Commander Curren is here and is not departing anytime soon…except in June, but now it is official…his comeback occurred and he is back for good! The Orange Army is stronger than ever and with second in command Tom Malone all I can say…we are invading Grafton soon! No mercy…Commander Curren believed that in the beginning and still does…it is great to have you back!

TODAY

Call everyone you know-your homies, associates, family, anyone nearby….we  be having a party at Tabb high tonight! It is our Panther Party. We are so confidant wee will beat Bruton we are already celebrating. It is how we are dealing with the end of exams…hey they were pretty hard…and like to party and party we shall. It is our Panther Party. There is going to be enough fur for everyone…coats, rugs, scarfs, hats, robes, socks…want it in panther fur, we got you! This is over confidence? Absolutely! It is hard for us not to be…everyone in Yorktown knows about Tabb girls basketball. We have only been defeated by a district team…ONCE! And that once was not by Bruton…we are going to stop by Smithfield very soon and make up for it! Also, when you  have players such as Mahan the Machine, Pulverizing Piazza, the F-bomb,, the Bulldozer, the Hoodlum, the Joker, and there is just so many…but everyone knows who they are and what they can…and they also like to party….so why not! Tabb tigers are in the house tonight, everything is going to be alright! Orange Army are VIPs…and you are going to want this at this party. Ever seen a game played with strobe lights…you will tomorrow! The party is going until the break of dawn make sure you stop by…everyone else will. Tonight at Tabb at 7, party hard Wayne…or be there or be lame…and yes, at Tabb everyday we are shufflin’!

I believe…or I know wrestling has an event this weekend…the Ram Rumble..or was that last weekend?...There is an event…wait it is Hartford Tech…they in Maryland man! That is close by me J. I will be honest Maryland is dumb…it is barely a state…it is very similar to Rhode Island except Rhode Island is beautiful. Just look at their football jersys…they dumb…this weekend they won’t be…hey Tabb is there…which include Junio, so that is just something extra! Maybe I was harsh by Maryland, but I have met many people from there…yikes!...but I will not be harsh when I say Tabb wrestling is on all levels! You think you reach the level they are on…but they keep increasing two or three…nothing, but up. It is not surprising, Steel Neil, Hallowin’ Harrell, Bruiser Boyd, Thorn Rose, King King Everthart, Derek the Dingo, do I need to pronounce it…..who-….well you KNOW! And Oh! Tabb wrestling has taken down most competitors they faced this season…and trust me no one from Maryland is that scary. I am sure I have lost most my Maryland audience….but not like they even know  what half my blog says! Good luck guys…make Maryland Tabb land!

Um...I do have more field hockey photos...but I really do have to get going, so will post them later today...or tomorrow...probably tomorrow...but just a small sneak peak is at the beginning of this entry! More is on the way!! Well, this is for today…so much so fast…but it is better this way…it keeps you wanting more and you get it a little  bit everyday. I hope no one is full yet..i have enough bits until June, so I have like 5 months worth of crap, so stick around until then…no seriously May and June gets dismal! That is long off…I am here like always…so do not worry one bit…because I have enough bits! Shouties saying good job Baggettball, good luck girls hoops, great return Commander Curren, good luck wrestling, sorry Maryland, and just have a good day all. I got a busy one, so I am going to end this. Do not worry tomorrow will be different. Well…we’ll see…Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

The strongest substance on Earth is Mr. Baggett’s bones.

NOTHING BUT SPORTS!

The exams are finished...so is school for the week...there is nothing left to do than play the games finally! The Tabb Sports Blog will finally serve it's purpose...yeah sorry about this week...thouigh I think we handled exam week better than last year!How are things in Yorktown? It is pretty flooded here...so maybe you'll get some of that! Mason just needs aa drainage system, so Fairfax is doing fine, it is just my school that is sinking! But yeah we, as in you students, finished another exam week this year...now just SOLs...and AP exams...and final exams...and really big tests...well at least this week is over! Now for actual news....

TONIGHT

I am not writing about exam taking today...no tips...there is an actual sporting event tonight. We have been waiting all week for this! We got the stove, got enough plates and utensils, vegetables, ...I hope we have enough for this Ram Roast...how did you like your meat? Ram meat is already so tender already...it is delicious...I hope everyone gets a piece. We have planned this meal for days...napkins...that's what else I need. Hungry? Come to the high school tonight..the best part are the horns! You may have to gnaw a little, but you'll get it. If you have not  guessed it yet we play Lafayette tonight...where else do you get ram from? It is lamb almost...but not as greek. I know we are counting chickens before they hatch...or rams before roast...but Tabb has to still be in this. We gotta get this third spot in the region...Lafayette is not keeping us away from it. That is why we are so prepared. Hungry drives people to do anything...when desperate enough people can do anything...like blow-out a team...or at least a win! Lafayette has not beat us twice in a season in years...it is going to be just like Poquoson or New Kent...they beat us once, but not twice. You know the ol' tabb saying: beat once shame on you, beat me twice...impossible! Lafayette know your fate now...the oven is on for you...our top chefs on this court will be Head Chef Rodney, Sous-Chef Nelson, Expediter Schiele, Chef de Partie Mitchell, our Butcher Buffkin, Roundsman Baggett, Pastry Chef Nati (he sweet!), and Commis Coach Baggett...that is enough culinary title for everyone? It will bea delightful meal..come be apart of it and get a piece. It is a roast, both ways, meat and making fun of people...but not deliberately...yeah, tonight at 7 at Tabb high...a cook-off is going on...help us out...be there or be lame.

SPECIAL STUFF

There is some special things going on tonight...no I am not taking about any type of dessert...the roast is a roast...but we have some half time entertainment...besides cheerleaders...well this is more of a honoring ceremony than the purpose of entertainment. Everyone here is fully aware of the Tabb Field Hockey, have you forgotten the 4-peat yet?  No else has and tonight it is official...the state banner is going up along with all the other great achievements in Tabb history...the team is not in the ranks of the greats before them. If you have missed this team since November, they are back tonight...not playing...but they are all together...so that is good enough! The whole will be there B-Jazz, Hawk Harmatz, the Wuskers, Magic Macy, Amazing Aymonin, Neffy, Hollie Holy, Ill Mills...and goodness it has been so long I have forgotten some of their names...but they will all be remembered tonight. It is great to have everyone honoring their great achievement. I wish I could be there. Everyone do not leave early, you gotta see our best sport in the past decade. I am happy....all I can say is high-five!

TOMORROW

It is a party...a panther party...fur rugs for everyone...maybe coats also...if you did not know...or figure this out yet...but we are facing Bruton tomorrow...who is we....Tabb girls basketball! I know that is a good we! We all know this party is going to bumpin'! It is always a good time with this team. I don't know how good Bruton...but you always have to watch out for them...so this is the party, but then after that is the after party...but then it is the  hotel lobby...then I forgot how the listings go on...but it does not apply because the girls basketball, they know how to party...and who doesn't like to party? Our MCs for the night will be Pulverizing Piazza, Mahan the Machine, the Joker, the Hoodlum, Trick Mackey, the Bulldozer, Striker Stratton, and so many more. And who are the VIPs...the tabb fans and, trust me, you do want to be in that section. This is a team that does not understand the concept of losing...it just doesn't happen...and won't this team. Bruton will not ruin our time. The party will be going on all night long. Also, Diana Kinney will be good for senior night...mainly just jogging around...but she is back...almost...so that is added to our party celebration! Wanna be in on this Panther Party...come to the high school Saturday at 7...coveer charge is 5 bucks...and it is going to go on until the break of dawn!

POPCORN'S PICKS

So...do we have the new record...I am just adding the record for the new year...after all the double time work for Popcorn..we are looking at how he has been doing since the end of that...basically it is just January...but it has been one long month, let's be real! Since the 3rd of January Popcorn has gotten a record of...

9-6

That is not too bad...it is not that equal...he is going down a little, but any week he could redeem himself...and we still have a few months left. Again, it does looks sloppy...but I am sure it is similar to any other coach's recrod...except Baggett's. Is Popcorn in a vulnerable position? Perhaps...this maybe the perfect opportunity for anyone to sneak up and beat him..just sayin'...just keep paying attention to the picks...maybe 2012 is not as lucky as a year as we thought...then again maybe it was not to begin with...isn't the world ending this year?

....also, I believe this is our first battle where our Commander is returning. No more retreats or causilities...our fan section is going to be as strong as it ever was! The Orange Army shall reign once more...Lafayette Lunatics will be easier...but it is the Clipper Crew I am afraid of...for tonight though it is a victory on both sides! That is all I really have today...this has been one of those entries that has taken like 2 hours to write...even in college procrastination exist, maybe even more...but good luck to boys basketball tonight, remember the spices for the meat, congrats to field hockey...again, hopes that Commander Curren will be back, Popcorn just keep picking, and all have a good one. Be back...as always...see ya tomorrow. Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

The word defeat does not exist in Mr. Baggett's vocabulary.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW?

Where do we go? Sweet child o' mine! GNR rule! Well, here we are once again…and can I say. It has been one interesting week. I can say that. Thank goodness I am still not on spring break, I would be two kinds of bored. I guess I just admitted I do not mind being at school again…well it has not been too bad, though I am just starting the 4^th day! I have not had much homework…yet. I have a feeling that I am just jinxing myself. I hope everyone is having something good come out of this week…I mean something…if not, hey, here is today’s Tabb Sports Blog entry!!

 TODAY

 I think it is 5^th and 6^th period exams…and half day…and no school tomorrow…and sports are starting again tomorrow…so is there really room to complain here! How bad can these last two exams be? Some people may not even have these certain periods…these are like our 4 day weekenders! What can I write about exams today…I written study guides, exam taking tips,…um…where can I go from here. I guess because it is ending we can reflect on what exam week was. It was difficult sometimes and other times not too bad, most times we were home by 11:30 or so…and tomorrow is not even a day of school. Web studied together, cried after viewing the exam we were taking, laughed once we were done, and now we all share joy knowing we have survived another exam week. Like every year there were a few you did not make it, but we will remember them as we go on with the rest of the school year. Today when you finish your last exam recalling that nothing in science is an actual fact and when in doubt the answer is c…remember you was with through all the pain and glory of exam week…the Tabb Sports Blog! You’re welcome…I think.

 NON-BASKETBALL NEWS

 If you are an avid follower of the blog, you know that there is a Tabb field hockey reference at least once every month. Seriously since our inception every month has had some story about field hockey. Everything always comes back to it. There is an extended season celebration this Friday…the 2011 State Champion Banner will be going up in the gym. Now it is really official. The accomplishment will join all other state titles in tabb history. The entire team will be there, everyone!!, from B-Jazz, Amazing Aymonin, Ill Mills, Wizard Warness, the Wuskers, Neffy, F-bomb, and everyone else who was on the team. All the coaches will be, parents, maybe some alum, and heck I bet Mr. High-Five will be showing up as well! See this another way to celebrate exam week, honoring Tabb field hockey, as they deserve to be! I wish I could be there, but y’know school, but I want to say congrats, though I said it when the team first originally won the title…but congrats some more. If you do not like basketball still come out to the game Friday…more is going than bball…remember the Greatest Show with Sticks? Find out why we call them that a during halftime of the basketball game on Friday…I have a feeling I will pictures. So…yes…we are officially adding the 4^th ring to this circus!

 Now let talk about basketball news, the big game is almost here! The end of exams special! Our Ram Roast! I have looked at this game at many angles…mainly because I just have so much time too! It is my understanding that energy of Baggett is unbreakable. In fact energy becomes an element you cannot break it down. When Baggett team plays they are actually compounds…which cannot be broken down…well not in our setting…we do not have that much water or light…so scientifically Tabb cannot lose this game. Lafayette is just a molecule…very small…very weak. It cannot quite stand against a compound…I hope I am getting my science correct. Ever wanted to see nuclear fission, come by Tabb high tomorrow at 7…I am sure of that matter will occur…matter is a scientific word as well! Score for me! Then we can discuss tabb girls basketball. When we break the team down scientifically they are something that is not seen too often in the field: a phenomena. Research is still being done, studies are being reviewed. They are still new. There is still so much we do not know about them. As scientists  (my tabb blog scientists) are still coming up for theories on them…none have been quite approved. The hypothesis we going by for now is the team is a type of a parasite, it just wears down a team and wins in the end. Bruton is a strong atom, but we found more negative charges than positives…that always lead to a…well not really a win. You can come up with your own theory if you attend the girls basketball game on Saturday at 7 at tabb. Will science prove correct…or will another theory arise? Come see for yourself…be there or be lame.

 4.7

 

We have 4.7 around more than usual this next week. I usually won’t use him within a couple days of each other, but big events are going on lately and we need to know how we are doing and how things will be. Next week, of course some Grafton advice…but today let us find out more how exams went and the game on Friday. 4.7….well actually 4.7 ½ in a half does not quite worry about exams. He has some every week at Oxford…those comparable to quizzes there! But he knows and I knows…or know that they are important to you…so 4.7… ½ how did everyone do on their tests?

“That was a terrible week. I'm gonna take a nap now. Wake me on Monday.”

Okay…I do not quite know what it means either...but 4.7's quotes always have deeper meanings. I think this is a way of him saying we should all move on. Do not worry it is all okay. And what is a better way to do that than attending the basketball games this weekend. I wonder what 4.7 1/2 has to say about those...

""Thinking outside the box" seems like a bad expression. When was the last time you thought inside of one."

Dammit 4.7 why must our predictions be in puns or witty remarks?! This does not make that much sense. Philosophers like these just want you to figure out their meanings on your own...so he is just saying bball teams keep it simple and success will come. Same for everyone. Yep, 4.7 has wasted another moment of our time...but not as if anything else is going on today...I guess now you see where the half comes from!

It is done already...my entry...exams...this week...so much so soon...or not soon enough. The weekend starts...what at 11:20 or so? Get ready....and remember the basketball games and field hockey's recognition and 4.7's predictions and that was suppose to be a shoutie to all them. Well next week is back to norm...still stress...but not as much...have a good one...and be back tomorrow...at least someone come back! Out! Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

One on one matches with Baggett always end as forfeits.

KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON

too complex for a title? Well…yeahs….these tests are almost over…almost…I guess for some that seems forever! But that is why you have the Tabb sports blog to keep you at ease. No tests matters that much…to a certain extent. I feel this blog is becoming the anti-testing center! Who wants me just to ramble? I broke my flower pen yesterday…the flower part broke off. Now I just have a stem plant…which is not as pretty looking. I have tired lately…but I really do not think that is from the norm..I don’t know usually after class I just be snoozin’…is that interesting enough? I am trying to keep things intriguing while you all are test taking. Okay, I will stop…let us see where today’s entry take us…

 TODAY

 We have 3^rd and 4^th period exams…and our second half day is in effect…and there is only one day left for this week. I think things are going pretty nicely…no matter how difficult that test is. I gave out my abbreviated exam reviews yesterday, so how can I take up space on how to take exams. I am little late, but depending on when you read this you may have at least 4 exams left…or 2…but these last two are going to count! So, let’s go with this…

·         Don’t study…wait, this is going to be interpreted incorrectly! I mean do not study to the point of sickness. I am into chill studyin’. Chances are it won’t be that bad…depending on the class...you should know when to study until sickness.

·         Sleep. I am into chill studying…so you bet I am into sleep. I already said I was tired in the beginning of the entry, so why be tired during an exam? Early to bed, 8 or 9…who doesn’t want to sleep for like 12 hours?!

·         The answer is C. Ever have a question you do not the right answer to…everyone guesses sometimes…and C always sounds good…except as grades!

·         Don’t take too much time. Granted this is different for everyone, but personally whenever I take a test, I do focus on it, and still end up being one of the first ones done…so I don’t if I am also one of the top grades as well…but…everyone is different…but also the longer you take the longer the exam will last…please do not take that the wrong way.

·         Have fun. They always say have fun with what you do…why not with taking exams too?

Yep, this is what I have for advice today…pretty ineffective for most…but I am sure someone is using it in some way…hopefully not a negative way. What advice will I have for all tomorrow? Man, I don not even know what I am going to write about! I just want these exams to be over like you do…we need something more to go on…or else entries are looking like this!

 THE TWO

 There is something very special happening this weekend….not once…but twice! They are called sporting events…remember those? They have not gone on for almost a week, but they make a return Friday. Tabb boys, first, take on Lafayette. If we look at this game in a mathematically sense it would show Tabb has a higher percentage of winning, though Lafayette is ranked higher, but divided those two subject the loss from earlier in the season then add all the players on both team and times by Baggett…and it comes out to a Tabb win. That is how I do math..nope I am not good…but…oh also time Shaq, Joe Nelson, Kaleb, Schiele, Nati (is squared), and Will and then that equals an absolute win. Want to see what I mean…or if my math will fail? Then go to the basketball game at Tabb at 7, a great end to a long week…be there or be lame! Now the other game is the girls basketball game. They play Bruton…who is always an upside, more than once, so they will be cubed in this equation, but Tabb girls basketball is Tabb girls basketball so it is only appropriate to square them by 1000 then minus 2 x 14 and add little bit of Baggett, just a little, and then we have another Tabb win as an outcome. Players to times would be Mahan, Piazza, Cain, Mackey, and Joseph…and heck everyone else! This is a guaranteed solution, so it cannot go wrong. I think I am pretty good at math this way…in fact math should be done this way! Come see the tabb girls basketball way Saturday at 7 at the high school…like Tabb. Be there or be lame. I know the end of exams and we are rewarded with two home games back to back! Take the reward exams have done enough to you. Remember Friday is the Ram Roast and Saturday is the Panther Party…attend both…it will be one kickin’ weekend…but first let’s kick this exams…right?

 DIFFERENT DIANA

 Diana Kinney got accepted to the University of Virginia. That is a pretty astounding achievement. It brings forth a little bit of class in people…so Diana cannot do your usual dumb joke. No, UVA people are pretty sophisticated. Look at her...the scarf says it all! At UVA you cannot pass with just any joke up there…it has be to a certain par. Everyone already knows why the chicken crosses the road there and everything that is black and white and red all over. The jokes have provide more.....so we will know get introduced to her intellectual side and intellectual type jokes. I hope everyone can follow...

What is the difference between an entomologist and an etymologist?  An etymologist knows.

That was just a splendid humorous outlook on the world...wouldn't you say? I put force upon my knee after hearing it. Goodness, I am quite immersed (I used this word correctly, right Diana?) with laughter if I do say so myself. Don't you all agree? Okay...yeah...those are the jokes. Perhaps you can still attend the school and still have the same sense of humor...if not we are going to lose alotta people on them...but not me...I go to Mister George Mason University...but everyone else...eeck!

I did not forget our male model Alex Tudor. In fact it was his birthday yesterday...or maybe today...I think yesterday. First a belated Happy Birthday to him...and as you can see he is still incredible good-looking...now that he is 18, it is not strange for me to make that comment. I get weak knees around him. He looks like a very suave teddy bear. For being a good sport towards my almost-creepy words, still being good looking, and being our blog's male model, we are hooking him up with a very special bday gift. We know other models...a big name in fact...ex-volleyball star retired runway model Tisa Forrest the Forrest Fire.

Yep, we were able to bring her back after volleyball season! How awesome is that! Alex will get the proper training needed and how the high name runways...which I do not know any...but Tisa does! There is certain walk that has to be learned, certain food that cannot be eaten, never go out in the light too much, fiber is always needed, modeling is tough...but look Alex, he has it! Tisa Forrest is one of the most well-known entrepreneur names in the world, with her help Alex Tudor will be too. He willl be a Tudor not known for any corruption! So watch out world Alex is taking over one runway at a time...this is the story that come out of exam week!

On that story I am just go to leave. Stick in there with the exams...it is almost all done anyway. My shouties remain for all who are taking them, doing something equally stressful, the basketball teams to be ready for the weekend, Diana for being smart, Alex for being good looking, Tisa to call me back already, me for being awesome, and everyone to have a good day. I have a class soon, so I gotta go. In this class all we really do is watch The Simpson...GMU rocks! See ya later! Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

Mr. Bagget does not break the backboard, the backboard breaks for him.

ROLL WITH IT

Contrary to what you heard I am still here. First day of class did not ware me down…talk to me like on the 40^th day…or a few days before!...or the first time I have to write an essay this semester! I do have all this free time. I mean my classes have not yet kicked in yet and this week there are like no sports…so I can really just ramble more than usual. I mean…um…is it weird to have a purple phone? I have one. Purple is my favorite color. Is that strange for a man? It means nobility…and not other things! My floor has not had an RA for like 2 days…I really don’t even know what is going on right now…so seniors who is ready for college?! Okay, that is a joke…but seriously no RA…my hall is proving how we can be new governing body…it is like Egypt, but a year later…and smaller…and no riots! Isn’t this open range of discussion, great?! Fine, we will start today’s entry for real…no seriously, nothing is wrong with purple!

TODAY

Um…aren’t we at our 1^st and 2^nd period exams…and our first half day! There is some good out of it! Last year I did provide exam reviews, but I do not want to do the same entry I did last year, so with a majority of your exams remaining I will provide a brief clear cut summary of everything you need to know to study. My holds bar…I am going to be absolutely honest with everything

• History – everything in this subject has already occurred, as long as you know everything that already has done so, you should be good. And if there is a question asking how people felt about a certain event or person or something like that…well you do not know the opinions of everyone, so everything should go.
• Science – everything in science is based on a theory…there are NO facts…so the possibilities are endless.
• Math -…math blows…just learn how to pay taxes and balance a checkbook and you are good…I cannot help you.
• English – I know some books aren’t the best, but as long as you know the basic ideas of ‘em you should be good…and grammar sucks for everyone…it does not exist in this blog!
• P.E. – do you guys even have an exam…I am sure it won’t hurt your good that much…just try be like Baggett as best you can…and that should at least you get you an A-.
• Other classes – I cannot speak for all these elective classes…I didn’t take all them…art, marketing, - I never did. I don’t know…yesterday I just said to believe in yourself…so…y’know…Tebow it!

I gave you an exam review for life kids! This is how I figure stuff out at college…and I have a 3.3…well last semester…I just want this week to go by so I have something to something legitimate to write about…so I guess my real tip is: just go as fast as you can!!

Who is ready for Friday? Anyone? Anyone? I am 110% ready…everything this week leads up to this game…Tabb vs. Lafayette. If you cannot remember the Rams beat us by like 12 last time…but now it is like 12 games later…or about 12…granted it has been awhile. Tabb has started to play Baggettball again and return to a superior force in the BRD. What is Lafayette really? Where is the history?...okay LT, that’s pretty cool…that is not basketball though! What about Baggett?! We got him! I know that cannot be my only reasoning…but it is! Last year we beat Lafayette twice…and have done so years before…it is like a tradition in Baggettball. This year Lafayette beat us one already…this is not going to become one of their traditions! Tabb came first…by a one year…so we have owning the rams for years! You must learn your history for it not to repeat itself (use that for your exams also!), Lafayette thought they did this year…but this is a pop quiz. It is a different section they forgot to study for. Okay…sometimes history repeats itself, I mean WWI, WWII, so in the tradition of Baggettball it is our annual Ram Roast. That is how we celebrate the end of the exams. It is like a lawn party inside by a basketball court. There are always rematches that have gone on in history with comebacks and this is ours! Back to what it use to be and should be. Ram Roast Friday at 7 at Tabb…be there or be lame!

I did not forgot you. I promise. There is more games going on this week than boys basketball…but the girls! Their game is on Saturday night…and people always have something pumpin’ on Saturday, but the game is at 7 and will be done at 8:30, so you will have plenty of time to party. Personally, my Saturday does not begin until like 11…but you guys are in like high school and all. So the girls are facing Bruton…who always put on a good show in girls basketball…or basketball in general. But it is Tabb girls basketball they are facing. I know, I know, everyone is aware of their accomplishments…but I will repeat: only 2 losses, one out of district and one in, and the one was not by Grafton! No one else can compete in the Bay Rivers…soon we are just going to call it the Tabb Rivers! On Saturday will be our Panther Party. Panther meat is a delicracy…and we have the correct documentation to serve it legally…it is called winning. We are older than Bruton as well. They opened around the bicentinal…well at Tabb we always loved America..and did not have to show it by opening up on the country’s 200^th anniversary! (1776, important date for your exams…I think…or the year 76, the firs year of the Jinach era in the Han Dynasty)  Tabb basketball is as American as apple pie and if you love America you will be at the game on Saturday. It is the usual time, as I stated before, 7 and at home…boys maybe the highlight of the week…but we have to see how they do…maybe this game will be the highlight, we shall see…so y’know be there or be lame

 
There is one small issue I would like to address before I end this. That is Joe Nelson. I know I cannot believe it either…that little ray of sunshine is him…see you knows how to smile. It looks like he use to do it a lot…and enjoyed doing it. I wondered what happened to this innocent young Joe Nelson. I wondered that until I found this picture…

 It says very much if I blame football for the execution of Joe Nelson’s smile…but the photos do not lie. He is about the same age too. It was just sports in general they changed our Joseph. It made him tough too fast…it was too soon. There is more beyond the games…but Joe does not look at it that way. This problem has been a concern with Joe’s youth…and the sad truth of it is, it concerns the one very reason we love him…his sports playing. I am not saying he should stop playing, but maybe he can find that kid inside…the kid before you did sports. The once year smiling too infrequent. Our only hopes to see Joe’s lips curve now is if he retires…if he does really good on exams…or if Baggettball wins a state title…which are you going with.

 Whoa, we are ending once again. It always happens...but hey it is getting you through exam week...isn't it?! Tomorrow is Wednesday...which means we are even closer to Friday. Study hard my friends. Do you want this to end already? I can just talk randomly again. You know how people from Ohio State say they attend The Ohio State University...well I attend Mister George Mason University! We have more class...okay back to purple phone...nevermind...1300 words on day no sports were going on...shouties saying good day to all...I gots to go...too-a-loo...Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

Mr. Baggett played a game of basketball on water once. 

IT'S GOOD

Are things good? I caught a flat, half of campus did not open until today, I almost got sick, been having mind-grains, it is cold, and class starts today…I don’t how good things have been for me! But…at least I don’t have exams…right? Does anyone really care? They that big of a deal? Um…they are your grades…so they should be! I do have some good news, I can post on my lap top again! I do not have to get early, go to the computer lab, I can post at anytime…the Tabb Sports Blog is functioning faster than ever!! What else....Pats-Giants Super Bowl again...naw that is kinda lame...giants have done it once...Though there is not much to write about, let’s get this blog started....

TODAY

We have 7 period exams!! Even though it is the class with the lowest number, this is like your home room…there is still 7 period everyday…right? Are we hybrid yet? I have not been in high school for like 3 years…I do not know what is up. Is Able still there? I am pretty out of it, yes, but due to the fact I really have nothing to write about today I will go through your exam schedule…as I assume it will go.

Monday: 7th period….and full day…as Nick Curren told me, “Unfortunately.”

Tuesday: 1st and 2nd</sup>…and half day!!

Wednesday: 3rd and 4th another half day!!

Thursday: 5th and 6th….another half day?!!

Friday: No school!!

I know it is exam week…but I think you guys have it pretty good. Okay, sure you have like 7 exams…but 3 half day and no Friday class…I do not even have a class-less Friday. It is a hard study week…but in the end it will pay off…so yeah, really nothing is going on this week, so I am writing about exams…tomorrow I will provide my very helpful exam reviews…well just my exam reviews! These exams are our sport this week…so just come to them that way. Stay focused and know your goal and you should be fine…it sounds like crap…but it works…shut up…I have nothing else to write.

Hey, I do have a little bit of actual news...there was a track meet...there are always these track meets all the time I never know about it....if you wanna know...ask someone on the team...I'll summon an inside man. Anyhow, this is good track news.  The girls track team brought home the second place trophy at the Hampton Roads Elite Showcase. They finished 2nd out of 28 teams and beat all the other Bay Rivers schools, losing only to AAA Oakton HS (Oakton is up near me....I'll get 'em back for ya!). They capped off the night by winning the 4x400 with the fastest time in the state (4:05). Also the boys 4x800 team also qualified for states....maybe they did not do as well as the girls did...but hey man we are both going to states! Winter is turning out to be Tabb's season. I cannot wait until March...spring is going to be nice! Congrats to both boys and girls and everyone else on the track team....thank you ths fan for sharing...and thank you especially for giving me actual news today!

POPCORN’S PICKS

There are still games going on, Popcorn does not get the week off…as much as he would like. Considering like nothing is quite going down this week, I guess this is the perfect opportunity to calculate his record. I believe things have been pretty nice for Popcorn…every challenge he has conquered…I do not know what else a 2 ½ year old needs to do to prove himself…at 2 ½ are they still considered kittens? Well, he is still young and in his prime, so let us see what he has predicted this Friday…

Grafton 67   Warhill 54

New Kent 58    York 37

Smithfield 64   Poquoson 58

Tabb 100    Lafayette 0

Well, some picks never change…but we’ll see if his luck changes…it has been awhile since I have proclaim this…but I mean if you think you can pick any better…than let it be known. If you get shown up…not only would it be by an animal…but a cat!...which is just shameful in anyone’s book…just beware of the consequences.

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Tabb wrestling – for beating York, Grafton, and Bruton at one meet

Shaq Rodney – for not only scoring 18 points against New Kent, but bringing the dunk back to Tabb!

Merciful Macfarlane – for putting 16 points against Poquoson for girls basketball

Nick Curren – for coming back to lead us…and Tom Malone for finding him and being awesome!

Did I miss anyone? Then let it be known!

I have this entire week to analyze the game on Friday. I have more than enough time…that is our main goal this week…but let us look at big part of Baggettball. I have talked about him before, but let us go more in depth. Nati Fessehaie is his name…and every person at Tabb knows it. The scary truth is Nati is becoming bigger then the sport of Baggettball! Every game people are hopping on the bandwagon…and this is a good bandwagon…so what do we call these followers of Nati…Nati-acs! It is like maniac, except better! It is good crazy, a nice crazy, crazy about the most beloved player on the team, who does not even have to play to get a following. You think Baggett has outrageous facts about him…I have heard Nati once ate a bear whole and got a perfect score on an IQ test and turn his head a full 360 degrees…there is so much said about him! Do you have the fever yet? Nati-acs are taking over Tabb…not just at basketball games, but the regular school day. Tabb is becoming Nati-ac Nation…it is okay to be apart of it. If there was a person almost as amazing as Baggett is…I think it would be Nati. Yes, I will admit it…I am a Nati-ac myself!

So….this is all I have today?...kinda…oh, to add to our college news our very own Vice President of Tabb Blog Inc. and very close associate Quincy Fotis got accepted to VCU. It seems he does have a future beyond the blog…but if you want to stay here, it is cool dude…so…anyhow, yeah this is all I got for today. Though these next few days are short I will have stuff up…can’t say it will be the best…but we are working on a one game week…bear with me! My shouties are for everyone to have a good exam week, all you Nati-acs out there, for me to have a good first day of class, and to all just to have a good day. I am always here…at top speeds…so stick around! Good bye for now. Roll Tig!

Peace be with you.

Mr. Baggett and Nati played a game of horse once…no got a letter.

THE SUNDAY SPECIAL

These are our special swimmers! You have Tom Malone, who we all know is almost beyond awesome, and Danielle Kimball, Kamakaize Kimball's little sister, we show her great respect as well! Swimming has never been too big of a sport, but this season they have been doing excellent...we are talking state contenders! So let's learn about swimming, who does it, what goes on, and then maybe people will finally attend a meet..well hopefully anyway...

Do you even read the blog? Of course we do!
