Ice Driving In Atlanta - Don Shula Retires, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 1996

Ice Driving In Atlanta - Don Shula Retires, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Last Wednesday I left for Atlanta to attend the American Historical Society convention and interview candidates for a new faculty position. The weekend was a blur and I was generally out of touch with Sportsworld, although I was slightly aware of the events moving across the stage. I had little time to reflect on any of it.

Bucs Another Miserable Season, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The body count for fired NFL coaches seems to be on the rise. Buddy Ryan got the boot in Phoenix the day after Christmas, less than twenty-four hours after his loss to Dallas. Sam Wyche was fired in Tampa with the next twenty-four hours. Meanwhile the Bucs themselves twist slowly in the wind, uncertain where they will be when the 1996 NFL season rolls around.

A Thread Of Evidence: Shaker Textiles At South Union, Kentucky, Jonathan Jeffrey, Donna C. Parker Jan 1996

A Thread Of Evidence: Shaker Textiles At South Union, Kentucky, Jonathan Jeffrey, Donna C. Parker

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

Textile production was one of the many routine tasks performed in the early American home. Those who joined communal groups, like the Shaker converts at South Union, Kentucky, brought to the colony knowledge of these activities. Shakers manufactured fabric – linen, silk, and woolens – in about the same manner as most of their contemporaries, only on a larger scale. Though few of their contemporaries left documentation regarding the tedious tasks involved in textile production, the South Union Shaker community, located in Logan County, kept intimate accounts of daily activities through journals, diaries, day books, and correspondence which included records …

Bowl Names And Sponsors: Silliness Abounds, Richard C. Crepeau Dec 1995

Bowl Names And Sponsors: Silliness Abounds, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Already some of the big ones are behind us. The annual Blue-Gray Game in which the Confederacy tries to atone for the loss of the big game of 1865 was played in Montgomery, Alabama on Christmas Day. Once again the Gray was out maned. Then came the Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl in which Aloha meant goodbye in any number of ways, and the Weiser Lock Copper Bowl, which asks the question what is a weiser lock and why would you want to lock weisers anyway?

Nfl Season Concludes For Dallas, The Bucs And Miami - Florida H.S. Athletic Assn., Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This NFL season has had its share of surprises and disappointments, not to mention bizarre moments. Today I want to concentrate on three stories from this NFL season: the Bucs, the Dolphins, and the Switzer Stumble.


Crime And Punishment In Miami - Tax Evasion On The Autograph Circuit, Richard C. Crepeau Dec 1995

Crime And Punishment In Miami - Tax Evasion On The Autograph Circuit, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Crime and Punishment is one of the great novels of Russian Literature, it is a subject currently in the news in Florida, and it is the theme that unites three stories out of sportsworld this week.


In Memoriam: Sergei Grinkov, Richard C. Crepeau Nov 1995

In Memoriam: Sergei Grinkov, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

These words of poet John Williams in "The Skaters" came to mind while contemplating the loss of beauty in the world that will result from the death of Sergei Grinkov. At age 28 his death came as a shock not only to those closest too him, but to anyone who has ever watched him and his skating partner perform their routines to near perfection. His partner, Yekaterina Gordeeva was with him on the ice at Lake Placid when he collapsed and died during a practice session some ten days ago.

Rich Devoss And The Girls - Orlando Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Last week Larry Guest reported on the reluctance of the Orlando Magic to share this city with any other major league professional sports franchise. In the course of his column Guest quoted Magic owner Rich DeVoss as saying about his conversations with County Chairman Linda Chapin and Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood: "I talked to the girls and asked them how many sports dollars are there to go around in Orlando."


Sport As Business - The Nomadic Franchies Of The Nfl, Richard C. Crepeau Nov 1995

Sport As Business - The Nomadic Franchies Of The Nfl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over the last several years I have had a running disagreement with a colleague over whether sport is simply a business or if it means something beyond the bottom line. Is there, or was there ever any sentiment in sport? The recent developments involving Cleveland and Baltimore raise these questions once again.

Now that the first World Series in two years has ended it's time to reflect on the season, the playoffs and Series, as well as the current state of the game.

Native American Names And Symbols, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It would seem that we are living in an Age when any major event becomes the occasion for some group or another to grind their proverbial political axe. Sometimes the grinding hits a responsive chord, but at other times it has the effect of fingernails on the blackboard.


Baseball's Status In American Sport And Television, Richard C. Crepeau Oct 1995

Baseball's Status In American Sport And Television, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Sometimes the worst laid plans of mice and men cannot do their damage. In the case of the major league baseball owners again they tried. But try as they might, they haven't been able to destroy the post-season.


Eddie Robinson's Record And Greatness, Richard C. Crepeau Oct 1995

Eddie Robinson's Record And Greatness, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I went back to the College Preview Edition of The Sporting News and found not a word about him or his likely achievement. A week before the event an occasional mention was made in some of the sports columns across the country. On Saturday, the day of the event it was noted on most football telecasts, and there was even a half-time feature on ABC. And in the sport's television version of damning with faint praise, the game itself was televised on The Deuce, ESPN2, the cable network most of America has never seen.


The Trial Of O.J. Simpson, Richard C. Crepeau Oct 1995

The Trial Of O.J. Simpson, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The end of the trial of O.J. Simpson once again raises the question of whether of not this was a sports story. ESPN the all sports cable network covered the trial, had their own expert lawyer analyst, covered the verdict, and had a special on Tuesday night summarizing the case. ESPN Radio along with most other sports talk networks and stations were also on hand to cover the verdict.


Jerry Jones And Revenue Sharing - Lords Of Baseball Fail On Settlement, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 1995

Jerry Jones And Revenue Sharing - Lords Of Baseball Fail On Settlement, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is the week of the owners. In the NFL Jerry Jones, liege lord of Dallas, decided to take on his fellow owners in a challenge to one of the leagues oldest and most revered traditions, while at the same time signing Deion Sanders at the price of a king's ransom.


U.S. Open: Seles And Graf, Agassi And Sampras, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 1995

U.S. Open: Seles And Graf, Agassi And Sampras, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After the Cal Ripken experience last week it's difficult to come back to reality and deal with the assorted goodies that sportsworld has dealt us in recent days. The crime report out of Nebraska shows us that Oklahoma and Miami are not the only programs that harbor troubled youth. The stories out of Dallas involving Jerry Jones, Nike, Pepsi, and Deion Sanders remind us just how central money has become in sport. While local heroes show us the arrogance of fame and fortune at the Waffle House.


Ripkin Catches And Passes Gehrig, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 1995

Ripkin Catches And Passes Gehrig, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

On Tuesday, the day Cal Ripken tied Lou Gehrig's record at 2130 games, I opened my mail to find the latest copy of Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature. On page 55 was a short story titled "Streaks" by David Zang. It is a very funny story of a Baltimore fan who takes it upon himself to end Cal's streak and it involves the O's mascot.

The volume of accumulated goofiness is once again reaching environmentally dangerous levels. ESPN is in danger of being transformed into Comedy Central.

Today when the College Football Hall of Fame finally inducts Jim Brown, one of the greatest runners of all-time, it will be correcting one wrong. When they induct Paul Robeson they will be correcting an injustice.


In Memoriam: Mickey Mantle, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1995

In Memoriam: Mickey Mantle, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was just a few weeks ago that we went through the spectacle of Mickey Mantle's liver transplant which gave us a preview of the sort of emotional outpouring that would come at his death. At the time the surgery seemed to be a success and there was hope that Mickey would survive. We now know that this was not to be, as the cancer spread quickly throughout Mickey's body. His doctors tell us that they have never seen such a virulent form of cancer as it moved with incredible speed. But then with Mickey nothing was ordinary.


Money And The Nba - Nbc And Winter Olympics - Track And Field Records, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1995

Money And The Nba - Nbc And Winter Olympics - Track And Field Records, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There are any number of extraordinary stories in sportsworld this week, and most of them have to do with money. First and foremost is the turmoil surrounding the NBA where a very ugly scenario has developed involving an attempt by agents to decertify the Players Association and take total control of the economics of the game. Late Tuesday night came word that a new agreement has been reached by the League and the Players Association, but it remains to be seen if Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing and their puppet masters will accept it.


Catching Up After Peace Corps Reunion In Ethiopia, Richard C. Crepeau Aug 1995

Catching Up After Peace Corps Reunion In Ethiopia, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

When I left a month ago for a Peace Corps reunion in Ethiopia the Phillies were in first place and the Braves were futilely chasing them; Scott Erickson, Mark Guthrie, Kevin Tapani, and Rick Aguellera were all Minnesota Twins; and Wimbledon had just started.
