Bob, while I'm no longer a big sports fan I do enjoy your writing, so I will look forward to your Sports Section.

And if your guys at UC-Davis make it to Frisco, I might just have to head up that way to meet you. I do have family in the area (Sherman, TX) so I'm familiar with the trip: 500 miles one way. But that beats driving to California...

Thanks, John.

Hope to see you in Texas come early January.

Bob, this is really great news! I don’t know if you remember but you and I talked about this very subject towards the end of the “comings and goings“ party over at the Oddfellow Hall. I said that you had been a long time influence on my own writing and humor, but I really wasn’t a sports fan. This is perfect for me and,I just became a paid subscriber minutes ago after reading the news. I was actually talking to a friend of yours this morning (who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent) and I said I really needed to upgrade to paid, Your announcement reminded me and it is now a done deal. Congratulations on the success.

P. S. Where did this avatar for me come from?🫣😬

No idea about the avatar. Certainly not my doing.

Thanks Bill. Will be fun to do without interfering with my regular column. I love the freedom that Substack affords its writers.

Hi Bob:

I know you have been covering sports for a very long time and I'm excited to see your new reports. I'm sure they will definitely be better than anything I can see on the Davis Enterprise. The paper has been going downhill very fast. I'm not exactly sure why I even continue my subscription.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I really didn't expect anything. I was just wanting to congratulate you on your new endeavor.

Hi Bob:

Good addition. Will make things easier to see a good report of UCD and other sports. Will this add to what I see in the Enterprise?

Philip - I have no idea what the Daily Surprise is up to in terms of sports. I wish them well.

I can say with certainty that no one will cover UC Davis sports more throughly or accurately than the The Wary One. I have 55 years of on the job experience to back up that claim. I will be covering all 12 football games, home and away, in person. No one else will be. You'll have to decide what's best for you. I'm not in competition with anybody or any entity. I'm simply giving my opinions on things as I always have. Whatever anyone else does is strictly up to them.

Bob, Will you covering UCD Rugby in the Fall and Spring?

Probably won't be covering club sports, of which there are dozens, because there's only one of me. But, you never know what's available.

Great idea Bob- (almost put an exclamation point where the dash is)

I like the idea of a separate sports column. Exclamation point not required.
