Anybody expecting Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire to temper his excitement and enthusiasm at Big 12 Media Days this week will be in for a shock. McGuire will be his usual highly energetic self, ready to mix it up with the media and hype up his team just as he was at the start of spring ball despite murmurs within the fanbase that perhaps curbing expectations would be pertinent.

There’s little information to be found on the history of St. James C. M. E. Church, but the Boston town website notes that the congregation was established in 1896. I believe the present structure was built in the early 1900s. A 1909 broadside in the Hargrett Library in Athens advertises a gospel meeting for the […]

(Colorado) Colorado has many gems - Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Maroon Bells, and two of Thomas Dambo's wooden trolls. Dambo is a Danish artist, and his trolls are worldwide. Each troll serves as a unique tribute to the place they inhabit, honoring the history and culture of the location.

For all intents and purposes college basketball's 2024 transfer season is over although some schools could still add one or two more players prior to tipping off in November. However, in this age of highly paid transfers, many coaches could opt for quality over quantity, meaning they'll concentrate their NIL funds on several elite transfer prospects rather than scatter those finite moneys over more marginal prospects in an attempt to fill all 13 scholarship spots. They may prefer to roll the dice on injury and other attrition with nine or 10 scholarship players. Texas Tech, incidentally, has filled only 11 scholarship positions as of this writing and could stand pat. This is a calculated risk Grant McCasland and other coaches may be willing to run.

A legislative working group on Tuesday drafted fortifications that tweak and clarify penalties regarding treatment of the state’s predators. The actions come in the aftermath of worldwide outrage over a Wyoming man who only received a citation after he ran down, muzzled and paraded a live wolf in a Daniel bar.

Thomas County, GA

Thomas Jefferson Johnson (1793-1847), who came from Pulaski County to southwest Georgia in the early 1820s to establish a plantation, was one of the legislators responsible for the creation of Thomas County in 1825. The county was named for one of Johnson’s relatives, soldier-architect Gen. Jett Thomas (1776-1817). Johnson built his first house on the […]

Quitman, GA

I can locate no history of Graham Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, but I’d guess the structure dates to circa 1900-1920. It’s an amazingly pristine example of the most common style for Black congregations of the era, anchored by two asymmetrical, or uneven, towers. The exterior of Graham Chapel is largely original, and even retains […]
