Goodfellas Update

It’s been a while since I updated the Goodfellas list that you see to the right. For those of you who don’t know, the Goodfellas are the guys who have proven to me they really care about high school sports. That it’s not just about trying to make a buck, but about wanting to give coverage and exposure to our local high school athletes. So it’s with great joy that I have some additions to the Goodfellas list, and with sadness, some subtractions.

Be My Friend

That’s right, OzarksSports.Net finally has a Facebook presence.  Feel free to be our friend and get access to all our content in yet another form of social media.  I’ll be trying to refine the account as time allows, but with the fall sports season starting, it may be a while.

At the Barbershop – Post Fireworks Edition

Alright, I survived my last fireworks stand (hopefully), I have completed my summer vacation (San Antonio), and have a mini tour of Missouri on tap this weekend.  So while summer is still upon us, let’s go get a trim at the ol’ barbershop.

I do not consider myself a member of the media.  Yes, I have the website that you behold now.  Yes, I’ve made a few appearances on some radio shows.  But I would be delusional to think I am a media member.  Continue reading At the Barbershop – Post Fireworks Edition

Twitterpated!

Yes, for all you Twitter fanatics, I have finally started using Twitter for certain updates.  OS.Net is still my main method of communicating, but I’ll put hot items out to Twitter for everyone to get hold of quicker.  Just sign up for updates from OzarksSports.  And if you really want to be in the know, might [...]

KSPR Sports on Facebook

Mike Scott at KSPR dropped a comment on me last week with some good information, and a request for assistance.  You see KSPR Sports now has a fan page on Facebook.  That’s great.  I respect Mike a great deal, his desire to cover high school sports in the Ozarks is unequaled, and I think he and [...]

Sports Reporters

For those of you who can’t get enough of the melodious strains of my voice, it looks like I’ll be on the Sports Reporters this morning at 10:35 on Jock 98.7.  I guess that means I didn’t embarrass myself too badly last time.  Or that Ned & Scott are really hard up for guests.  Either way [...]

COC Prep Sports

A new website has appeared on the Ozarks scene, and it hopes to change the face of local high school sports coverage.  COC Prep Sports is dedicated to covering all the aspects of the Central Ozark Conference both Small and Large divisions.  But it’s operated by the conference itself, a first for SW Mo and perhaps [...]

The Sports Reporters

Found out this evening that I will be making an appearance on the Sports Reporters on The Jock 98.7 tomorrow.  10:05 is my scheduled call time.  I must say, this is something special for me.  As a loyal KY3 family growing up, Ned Reynolds has been sports in the Ozarks to me for my whole life.  [...]

New link. Old voice.

Just got directed to a new website by a post on The Scoreboard Guy’s website.  And it turned out to be someone most of us are familiar with, but he’s headed in a new direction.  Allen Vaughn of News-Leader high school beat fame now has his own site going called RecSpecs Online.  He’s still talking about [...]

Who is Joboo?

I’ll be honest, this article turned into a bit of a long winded rant.  So if you just want the brass tacks, skip to the last paragraph now.  Otherwise, please read on.

Last year as the Show-Me Bowl weekend approached, I made an attempt to secure a press pass for the big event from MSHSAA.  Now in no way do I consider myself a member of the press, and I didn’t expect to be granted a pass.  I just thought, “Why not try?  I’m going to be there anyway.”  They had every right to say no.  If they had investigated OzarksSports.Net and found that I’m not a full-time writer and it’s not a full-business and had said politely “We appreciate your interest, but no.” I would have been able to walk away.  But that isn’t what happened.
