Being Southern: 07/01/2007 - 08/01/2007
http://jdirkcotton.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 01, 2007. June 13, 2006. We pulled up behind another car, old and rusted, driven by a young couple. She sat close beside him and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. They were doing maybe eleven. Life passes at a slower pace in rural Kentucky. After a while, we reached a brief straight section of road and my grandfather pulled into the left lane to pass. As we sped by, my grandmother stuck her head out the window and yelled, “Get a room if you want to do that! As the oldest grandchild, I ...
Being Southern: Quail
http://jdirkcotton.blogspot.com/2007/06/quail.html
Tuesday, January 01, 2008. 8220;Did you hear that bird? 8220;That’s a quail over in that field,” he explained. “Some people call ‘em Bob White’s because it sounds like that’s what he’s saying. . . Bob Whieeet. Quail and whippoorwills seem to call when everything else is quiet. I remember them in the late day and early evening, before the bullfrogs and cicadas interrupted and they had the entire soundstage to themselves. 8220;What was that? 8221; my Dad asked. 8220;I think there’s somebody in the ti...
Being Southern: 11/01/2009 - 12/01/2009
http://jdirkcotton.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 14, 2009. My grandmother was a Holy Roller. That's the pejorative label they give members of the primitive Apostolic Holiness Church. A large, stern woman, diabetic, with long gray hair she wore in a bun, my grandmother was a foot taller than my grandfather, or so it seemed. She had a beautiful name, Ursula, that my grandfather unintentionally butchered with his southern English. It came out, "Urshel". Suddenly, as I was in the middle of giggling with Johnny about something he had said...
Being Southern: Glory Days
http://jdirkcotton.blogspot.com/2009/06/glory-days.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Most athletes’ glory days are over when they graduate from high school. Mine never made it past sixth grade. We had it all, red satin gym trunks short enough to impress Larry Bird, red cotton jerseys. Heck, we even had cheerleaders and they. From which these clippings were taken, argued in editorials that blacks preferred segregation. Pride Elementary, ironically, had been at the center of racial tensions just a few years before. Nearby rural communities Sturgis and Clay...Befor...
Being Southern: 12/01/2007 - 01/01/2008
http://jdirkcotton.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 01, 2007. I grew up in the south drinking sweetea. I never heard it called iced tea or just tea, never imagined that you could actually drink tea that hadn't been sweetened and for the longest time, frankly, I didn't realize that it was supposed to be two separate words. I have seen "unsweet tea" on menus here, though rarely, and as best I can tell, this is not the correct use of the word. According to Princeton University's Wordnet. Unsweet is an adjective meaning moderately dry, as i...

216 Red Stitches: Charlie Rocks -- My Kind of Outfielder
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2013/06/charlie-rocks-my-kind-of-outfielder.html
Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Charlie Rocks - My Kind of Outfielder. A few years back, I wrote a piece about UNC right fielder, Garrett Gore, and his amazing catch against Clemson. I entitled the piece "G". And included in it a description of the Clemson home run he brought back into the park. Today, I read a news report from 100 years ago, May 26, 1913. I like it just as much as Garrett's catch. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow Me on Twitter. Follow Me on Twitter. He and his family currently resid...
216 Red Stitches: Carolina Diamond Heels' Ridiculous Season
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2013/05/carolina-diamond-heels-ridiculous-season.html
Wednesday, May 8, 2013. Carolina Diamond Heels' Ridiculous Season. UNC's Diamond Heels have played 47 games. It takes a minute or two to let that sink in. It's ridiculous for a baseball record. Heck, most teams are capable of losing three games in a single weekend. They've outscored their opponents 416 to 130. Also ridiculous. And much of this without freshman phenom Skye Bolt, who broke a metatarsal several weeks back. Rumor at the Bosh last night was that he'll play again soon. Just a few years back, I...

216 Red Stitches: April 2013
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 11, 2013. Baseball, Dylan and the Queen of Hearts. Baseball is the "yes, but. . ." sport. I had the pleasure of meeting the nicest young couple from Raleigh at a UNC baseball game last week. They had both attended the University of St. Andrews, the oldest university in Scotland. She came back to Raleigh after graduation and soon decided she couldn’t live without him so she just went to Ireland and got him. He didn't put up a fight. I love Southern women. 8221; Dylan asked. 8220;Yes, but n...
216 Red Stitches: 39 Years of Marriage and a Baseball Game
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2013/05/39-years-of-marriage-and-baseball-game.html
Sunday, May 26, 2013. 39 Years of Marriage and a Baseball Game. The ACC baseball tournament this year was a wild affair, at least for Carolina fans. The Heels beat Miami 10-0 in the first game on Thursday afternoon that ended in a Mercy Rule invocation in the eighth inning. What an easy start. The toughest part of the game was finding parking near the stadium on a workday when most of the parking was already taken by, I don’t know, people who aren’t retired and still work, I suppose. I didn’t bothe...
216 Red Stitches: Last Night's Loss Sucked
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2013/03/last-nights-loss-sucked.html
Saturday, March 16, 2013. Last Night's Loss Sucked. I was pretty disappointed with the outcome of our game last night. My college classmates will assume I’m talking about UK’s loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC basketball tournament, but I was at a baseball game. It’s just not possible to have a perfect season in college baseball — to my knowledge it’s never been done in NCAA Division I baseball — but after starting the season with 16 straight wins as UNC has done, that first loss is s...OK, cold- ish. It was...
216 Red Stitches: February 2013
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. I'll Follow the Sun. One of the great things about college baseball is that it gets you outdoors in the winter and early spring, when you might otherwise be tempted to stare outside through a window. In Carolina, we get wonderful days in February and March and miserable ones. I’ll write about the latter sometime, but today was magnificent: a high near 60 and beautiful sunny skies. 8220;What are you guys doing up there? 8221; I asked. 8220;Had to get out of the sun! Warm weat...

216 Red Stitches: May 2012
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 26, 2012. Some people worry about coming off as a newbie at baseball games. With the conference tournaments this weekend, the Regionals next weekend, the Super Regionals the following weekend and the College World Series in Omaha in mid-June, this is a great time to see some college baseball. Here are some tips to help you pass as a veteran bleacher bum. If you’re a girl, wear your hair in a ponytail pulled through the back of your cap. It’s cute beyond all explanation. He said, “So? His po...
216 Red Stitches: June 2012
http://216redstitches.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Battle of the Cheap Seats. The Arizona Wildcats may have won the title, but the fans in the cheap seats stole the show at the College World Series Finals the past two nights. As I noted in my previous blog, the rest of TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha was startled early in Game One when, during a quiet time of the game, the fans in left field suddenly stood and shouted in unison, " Right field sucks. As you can tell from the video. Still, nothing topped the cheap-seaters. After the i...

Being Southern
Saturday, September 11, 2010. It's Just a Song. I wish I could have taken my friend, Terry, on a cross-country trip in a private jet and he could have taken me for a ride in the cab of his locomotive. That would have initiated a long discussion of the things we did and the people we knew growing up there and eased the remainder of the flight into Dulles. A long, happy discussion, no doubt. We got our bearings and decided to fish downstream, beyond the highway bridge, because the guys told us that upstrea...
