Sometimes I engage in some good-natured, college-football trash talk during these webathons with Mark Wright, but since we are both rooting for five-loss football teams, I’m not sure there is any call for that. (Yes, Oklahoma and Virginia are both 5-5.)

The good news is that we are making progress toward our goal of $150,000 for our fall webathon. If you have given already, thank you so much — every little bit helps. If you haven’t given and appreciate what you read, listen to, and view here, please consider giving any amount from $1 to $1,000 to keep us vibrant and in the game.

The response so far has been tremendous — as the new Yankees radio play-by-play guy, the great Dave Sims, is fond of saying, “Hey, now, hey, now!” $125,000 is great, but please help us keep it going.
