Sen. Bob Corker’s Daugther Carjacked

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Julia Corker went through the ordeal of her life when she was carjacked in Washington D.C yesterday night. Apparently, the senators daughter was stopped at an intersection when two men forced their way into her Chevy Tahoe. She was then grabbed by the neck and thrown out of the vehicle.

The D.C police were soon to arrive along with Bob Corker. Soon the police were able to find the Chevy along with the two car-jackers. Soon Julia identified them as the thieves and they are now sitting in jail waiting to be charged.

Still, i find this who story very funny. I mean how unlucky can you be to steal the car of a well known person, let alone the car of a senators family. However, i think everyone is glad that Julia corker wasn’t hurt as the crime happened. At least now she has a story to tell her family in the future.

Perdue Edges Out Tennessee

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

If you happened to catch the latest Tennessee U basketball game last night, you witnessed one of the most competitive games of basketball I have seen all year.  Even though Tennessee did end up getting the short end of the stick this time, you can’t go home and say that they played horrible because that isn’t true at all.
On Both sides of the ball, both teams played hard for the winning moment.  Even though this wasn’t an upset victory, it was still close, closer than anyone else could have expected.  Eventually, it came down to a defensive game and Tennessee just didn’t capitalize on many plays that could have set up the game in their favor.  At least they can come home knowing that they played hard and learned a few new tricks as they head to their next game.

TSU’s Head Coach Resigns After Upset Win

Friday, November 20th, 2009


It’s not often that you see big, tough football players brought down to knees crying, but that is exactly what happened on Thursday night as TSU’s own coach James Webster announced to them that he would be Leaving the Universities football program. Even though the team has only 4 wins, Coach Webster still says that he is proud of them.

Webster’s choice to leave was most likely influenced by the teams record under his guidance. After all, you can’t expect to have 3 losing seasons and not expect some heat to come down on you.

Despite this sad turn of events, TSU did upset Eastern Illinois in last night’s game, something that coach Webster is proud of. Also, Webster is glad that his players have been able to keep out of trouble and hopes that they can keep some of the guidance he taught them in the five years that he has been at the school. His only hope now is that TSU gets a new coach soon, as no replacement has been announced yet.
