Pinch-hitting in the press box

It's a new experience for us in the press box tonight as Matt Bonnette has the night off.

Matt is in Lake Charles to see the dedication of Louis Bonnette Field at Cowboy Stadium. About right now I am sure son is bursting with pride at a wonderful honor for his father, in his 44th year as SID at McNeese.

The pinch-hitter for Matt, who runs our statistics operation, is student assistant Matt English, who has been running the stat computer all season long. Matt won the Ace Higgins Award from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association this summer for being the outstanding student assistanst SID in the state last year.

All this means blog updates may be few and far between tonight as I may be pressed into some work next door in the stat area, helping out (or staying out of the way).
