Lebron to OKC
Dawson's Sports Blog | January 31, 2023

Picture
Okay. So Oklahoma City has an absurd amount of picks over the next few years, and the likelihood that they pick up Bronny James is stupidly higher than any other team. Whether it's my beloved Thunder or any other team in the NBA, someone will end up with Lebron and Bronny since Lebron is going to go wherever Bronny goes. That could be the Australian League for all I know. Wouldn't that be something?

The Predicament I'm In
Dawson's Sports Blog | January 29, 2023

Picture
The Chicago Bears have just concluded their best season since they last visited the Super Bowl in 2006. Mitch Trubisky is in his second year playing quarterback for the Chicago Bears, and Matt Nagy is in his first year as the team's head coach. Heading into the 2019 Wildcard Round of the NFL Playoffs, the Bears look like they can make their first playoff run in a long time. It was unprobable with a first-year head coach and a second-year quarterback, but the talk of a visit to the Super Bowl was in circulation.

Texas is Back!!!
January 25, 2023 | Dawson's Sports Blog

This past season, Texas proved to all Oklahoma fans that they are back for good. They finally got one over on OU after the mass exodus following Lincoln Riley's departure from Norman. Oklahoma's roster was in shambles after losing several starters. A first-year head coach took over the reins of the team. There was a lot to figure out in Norman. It was enough to give Texas their first win over Oklahoma since 2018. But, that's no excuse.

McDonalds, What Have You Done to Me!?
January 25, 2023 | Sydney Chronicles

Dawson told me to write an article about my time at Mcdonald’s explaining how people can sometimes be the absolute worst customers so here ya go. First off you know I can’t tell a story without some background. So I graduated high school early in December of 2019. My parents’ rule is that if you are not going to school you need to get a job and pull your own weight around the house. Totally agree with that and it’s probably why I have the work ethic that I do. So it is February of 2020 (right before COVID hit) and I get a job at Highway 55, work there for 2 days and my manager stole all my tips so I quit real quick and got a job across the street at Mcdonalds carrying on the family legacy (my mom worked there during college).

Expectations for the Chicago Bears
January 22, 2023 | Dawson's Sports Blog

Picture
I fully expected the Chicago Bears to have a down season this year, especially with a first-time, first-year head coach taking the reigns of the team. Looking at the schedule, had I predicted their record this year before the season, I don't think I would have expected just three wins. Five or six would have been a reasonable prediction, but I don't think anyone could have predicted that the Bears would have the worst record in the league this season.

The XFL
January 21, 2023 | Dawson's Sports Blog

According to the XFL website, the XFL is a brand new, fan-first league that's reimagining the game of football and offering fans an opportunity to experience more action, access, and fun. The league has eight teams from St. Louis, Seattle, Arlington, Houston, San Antonio, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, and Orlando.

Why is Matt Nagy Trending?
January 18, 2023 | Dawson's Sports Journal

Picture
I was scrolling through Twitter today, as I usually do most nights, and saw that Matt Nagy was trending. So, of course, as a Chicago Bears fan seeing his name on Twitter piqued my curiosity. After about two seconds of digging, I figured out all the uproar was over what Clay Harbor (@ClayHarbs82) Tweeted. He Tweeted, "I was talking to an ex-Bears player last week, and he said Matt Nagy was a good coach, but Mitch couldn't run his system. Said Nagy didn't want Mitch, but his hands were tied."

Damar Hamlin

This is not a typical blog that I write, but it's one that I hold true and dear to my heart. Before Monday's game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, I had not heard of Damar Hamlin, but now his name is streamlining all over social media and news networks.

Responding to This Year's CFB Playoff Spread
Dawson's Sports Blog | December 4, 2022

Picture
​The College Football Playoff Committee has decided on their Top-4 teams, and after seeing who's in, I'm glad the Playoffs are expanding to twelve teams. Georgia and Michigan are deservedly in, but you could argue TCU and Ohio State are equally as good as the next eight teams.

What's Going On With The Tar Heels?
Dawson's Sports Blog | December 3, 2022

Picture
​Before the College Basketball season started, nobody could have expected the Tar Heels to start 5-3. When it was solidified that Carolina would have four of their five starters returning for this season, I predicted they would be the college equivalent to the 1995-'96 Chicago Bulls. But as we have seen in the previous three games against Iowa State, Alabama, and Indiana, that is far from the case.

Memphis is Getting a Sister!

​As Sydney and I continue to figure out this whole adulting thing, we make a lot of decisions on our drives to and from Nashville or Charlotte to plan our wedding or see our parents. Since we moved into our own apartment this last summer, we decided that we would get another puppy after our honeymoon. We have the space for another, Sydney will have a lot of time to train, and frankly, Memphis needs a friend. ​

Sydney Snarkily Talks About Her New Dog
Sydney Chronicles | November 29, 2022

Picture
So Dawson convinced me to get another Australian Shepherd except this one isn’t a mini. We were driving down the road on our way home from my parent’s house when I showed him this picture of this dog. He immediately is like I want, and I am trying to figure out if we can afford it (we can) and he calls the breeder and reserves her. Now a lot of y’all might think we are crazy that we are getting two Australian Shepherds, might hate the fact we’re doing it while I am still in college, or might hate that we still live in an apartment. Well, listen here 1. Mind your own business and 2. You don’t know our situation.

Nebraska Fans, Don't Freak Out
Dawson's Sports Blog | November 26, 2022

Picture
This College Football Season has been a bit of a roller coaster for the Nebraska Cornhuskers after parting ways with Coach Scott Frost following Nebraska's 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern in the third game of the season. Coach Mickey Johnson, who stepped into the Head Coaching role after Frost's departure, started his tenure off with a loss to Oklahoma and a win against Indiana and Rutgers. The 2-1 start for Johnson was followed up with a five-game losing streak, and he finished the season off on a good note, winning the "Heroes Game" against Iowa, snapping a seven-game losing streak in the series.

Journal #45: #14 Lenoir-Rhyne vs. #1 Ferris State
Dawson's Sports Blog | September 12, 2022

​Heading into Hickory from Cullowhee, it was wet, rainy, and foggy, which may have been God's way of foreshadowing the game between the #14 Lenoir-Rhyne Bears and the #1 Ferris State Bulldogs. However, pulling up to the newly upgraded Moretz Stadium, it's evident that the Bears are building something special in Hickory. Currently a Division II university, I believe that the stadium and facility upgrades are preparing the Bears to jump from Division II to the FCS. There's a reason the defending Division II National Champions made the trip from Central Michigan to Hickory, North Carolina.

Dawson's Sports Journal College Football: Week 2 Scores
This College Football Season, Dawson's Sports Journal is covering the Oklahoma Sooners, Carolina Tar Heels, Western Carolina Catamounts (FCS), and the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears (DII). Each week, Dawson's Sport's Journal will publish a blog covering at least one of the selected teams! 

Picture
Oklahoma Sooners (2-0)
After a questionable first half, the Oklahoma Sooners rally and score 26 unanswered points against Kent State in the second half. Not the start OU fans want to see, but a lot to look at in the film room. Next week OU will travel to Nebraska to take on the Cornhuskers.
Picture
Carolina Tar Heels (3-0)
The Carolina Tar Heels keep fans on the edge of their seat heading into the fourth quarter for the third week in a row. The Georgia State Panthers fall victim to Mack Brown's teasing this week. Next week the Tar Heels will have a bye week before hosting Notre Dame, who fell to the Marshall Thundering Herd today
Picture
Western Carolina Catamounts (1-1)
The Western Carolina Catamounts had a strong outing against Georgia Tech tonight. Heading into the second half, the Catamounts were down by just two possessions, 14-27, and held the Yellow Jackets to just one touchdown in the second half. Next wheek, The Cats will host the Presbyterian Blue Hose.
Picture
Lenoir-Rhyne Bears (1-1)
It was a tough day in Hickory as the #14 Lenoir-Rhyne Bears fall to #1 Ferris State. The Bulldogs' defense kept the Bears' offense stationary for the entirety of the game. Next weekend the Bears will travel to Greenwood, South Carolina to take on the Erskine Flying Fleet

Journal #44: How Does Drake Maye Line Up Against Trubisky and Howell
Dawson's Sports Journal | September 1, 2022

Picture
​In the past decade, UNC has had a decent lineup of quarterbacks. Trubisky, Howell, Williams, and now sitting in the driver's seat for the Tar Heels, Drake Maye. The win against Florida A&M this past weekend kicked off Mack Brown's fourth season back with the Heels, which means, aside of a few redshirt seniors, every player is Brown's recruit.

A Message to Incoming Freshmen
The 62 Journal | August 15, 2022

Picture
​Your professors will be some of the smartest people you will ever meet, but most are closed-minded because they've been taught to do so. Sometimes I've gone head to head with someone with three PHDs and over thirty years of experience, but when you do that, either one of two things will happen. Your opinion on a subject will change. Or because you've expressed your perspective, and they expressed theirs, and you can't get behind what they're saying, your opinion will strengthen. If someone wildly academically smarter than you can't convince you, who can?

Sydney Chronicles: My Role in Ok Listen Here

Picture
This article is going to include details of how I convinced Dawson to let me and others start writing and get more involved in the Ok Listen Here platform. This story starts back when Dawson was a senior in college and he had just gotten this platform up and running. He had asked me to write an article about the experience I had growing up going to OU games. So I took about 20 minutes of my time while he was on the phone with his mom to write up an article. He posted it and the next day it had quite a few views. From then on he would ask me to write articles and I would occasionally do so but was soon running out of topics to write about. ​

Sydney Chronicles: A Little Insight

Journal #43: Baker to Carolina
Dawson's Sports Blog | July 8, 2022

Picture
​I was ecstatic when I heard that the Cleveland Browns had traded Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers. I wrote an article in April stating that the Panthers should trade away a few picks for Baker. The fact that it has taken them a few months to do so is a setback since teams have been getting together to prepare for the upcoming season, but better late than never.

Journal #42: The New Westbrook
Dawson's Sports Blog | June 28, 2022

Picture
​It has been a while since I've been a die-hard of any one player in the NBA. The 2012 NBA finals led me to pull for the Durant/Westbrook duo, and once Durant left Oklahoma City for Golden State, it was easy to single out Westbrook as my favorite player. But, of course, being that the Charlotte Hornets were just a ten-minute train ride away when Kemba Walker started making a name for himself, I had another player I was an actual die-hard of.

Journal #41: How my Perspective of Sports has Changed as I've Gotten Older
Dawson's Sports Blog | June 27, 2022

​Being a sports fan your entire life and getting older is a weird thing. I had a memory pop up on my Facebook the other day from 2012 when I let all my friends and family know I was rooting for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals. KD and Russell Westbrook were 23 then, and I was 13. It's hard to think that the two were my current age when I became such a big fan of the duo. To accomplish something like that at 23 seems insane. ​

Dawson's Sports Journal | June 2, 2022

​This year's Coca-Cola 600 was undoubtedly the most fun race I have ever attended, and mind you, I've gone to more than I can remember. The likely cause of this is that I had something to root for. Since 2019 I have gone for Martin Truex Jr. because I enjoyed watching him and Kyle Busch go at it in the 2019 Coca-Cola 600. Though Austin Dillon won that race, it was nice watching Kyle Busch get tested for 600 miles by Truex. That was easily the best race I ever watched, but not the most fun.

Journal #36: It's Race Week in Concord!!!
Dawson's Sports Journal | Dawson Haywood | May 26, 2022

Picture
Finally, it's Coca-Cola 600 week! It's an event that most native to Cabarrus County plan for because of traffic, the sound of engines blaring through the night, and of course, the culture around the event. Charlotte Motor Speedway (though it should be Concord Motor Speedway) is the Mecca for NASCAR fans. It's a location that all race fans have to make a pilgrimage to. 

This race is more than the longest race in the Cup Series. It's also considered the "Home Game" to every chartered team in the Cup Series because of where each team's headquarters are located. Most teams have settled down in Mooresville, NC, the home of Dale Earnhardt. However, several others have settled somewhere in Cabarrus County, notably my favorite team, JTG Daugherty Racing, headquartered in the Town of Harrisburg.

It has been several weeks since I last wrote about JTG Daugherty Racing and the #47 car. In the last article I put out on the team, they were coming off their fifth finish below 25th in a row in Martinsville. After the Bristol and Talladega finish, I decided not to write anything because it honestly just became repetitive. I have always said I will not write anything unless it is something I'm genuinely interested in and passionate about. Going eight races in a row outside of the Top-20, I won't lie, made me lose interest in the team. I still engaged with JTG Daugherty's Twitter page, but that's it.

I'm not entirely sure how I will come down off a win like this. How do you? For Tar Heel fans and Duke fans, the game on Saturday night was the most important in the history of the rivalry. Coach K was retiring either tonight or Monday (thankfully, it was tonight), the Tar Heels were extreme underdogs for the entirety of the season, and winning this game means Coach Hubert Davis will finish his career with a winning record against one of the greatest coaches of all time (yes, I know Carolina fans hate to admit it, but we have to give credit where credit is due). Facebook groups that I'm a member of are going nuts. It's like an online Franklin Street, and I'm here for it. It's making me feel like a kid again.

Tucked away in the shadow of Mecklenburg County lies Cabarrus County, otherwise known as the home to Duke's Wendell Moore and Carolina's Leaky Black. ​

Journal #24: JTG Daugherty Racing Struggles in Austin. Is There Hope in Richmond?
Dawson Haywood | Dawson's Sports Journal | March 29, 2022

Picture
It was a rough week for Ricky Stenhouse and the #47 Sunny-D car this past weekend in Austin, Texas at the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Over the last few weeks, JTG Daugherty Racing has been plagued with bad luck, and this weekend was no different. It started with a terrible practice, but at a road course, how well you do in practice and how well you do in the actual race do not exactly correlate. Drivers like Kaz Grala had a better day at practice than Chase Elliot and Alex Bowman. Again, not a lot of correlation here.

Journal #20: JTG Daugherty Racing Atlanta Recap and Echopark Automotive Grand Prix Prediction
​
Dawson Haywood | Dawson's Sports Journal | March 22, 2022

Picture
This past Sunday was a tragic day to be a JTG Daugherty Racing fan. Last week's performance in Phoenix was a letdown, and for the majority of the season, the team cannot seem to catch a break. The potential for this team to be great is there. The issue lies on issues made by either the team or the driver or outside factors out of either party's control. ​

Minor League Monday: The Final Six
Dawson Haywood | Ok Listen Here Sports Blog | March 21, 2022

​It was not difficult selecting the final six teams to enter Season Two of our Minor League Monday Series. It was evident that we needed to bring back more teams from last season outside of the Top-3! We heard you, and we are answering. Before we announce our other returning teams, we do have a few more newcomers that we believe have the potential to contend for our Minor League Monday Title. ​

Morgan Wallen Dangerous Tour, Nashville, March 16, 2022 Review
Dawson Haywood | Ok Listen Here Entertainment Blog | March 18, 2022

Sydney watching Morgan Wallen Perform at Bridgestone Arena
It has been a while since I had gone to any concert. The last one I went to was back in either 2011 or 2012, whenever American Idol went on tour after Scotty McCreery's season. My Mawmaw was a huge Scotty fan and wanted to take one of her Grandkids to the American Idol concert in Time Warner Cable Arena (Now Spectrum Center). I have never been the concert-going type, so even when I was old enough to go myself, I didn't go. I liked sports too much and thought my money was better spent watching a Hornets team that could never reach the playoffs. Boy, was I wrong.

Last week, we announced the first three teams competing in the second season of our Minor League Monday Series! Automatically, we inducted the Top-3 teams from last season into this season's competition. This is a trend we will continue to follow for years to come. The Durham Bulls, Down East Wood Ducks, and the Greensboro Grasshoppers were dominant when put up against other teams in North Carolina, but how will they do when we venture the series outside of the state?

Sydney Chronicles: First Day of College
February 20, 2022

So as the page/blog moves on I have decided that some articles could be about tips and tricks about puppies or just life in general. And some articles may just be a funny story about me, Memphis, Dawson, or literally anything else, because why not it is my page after all and I do love to entertain the people. To start it off I shall relive the horrible day that was my first day of college. It was the worst. I felt like I was living in that book that every kid reads growing up “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”. Now some of y’all may have read this on my Facebook or if you’re very close to me I called and told you about it but here goes nothing.

Hockey is one of those sports that I should be more into. The contact, fast pace, and toughness of the sport have been attractive to me. However, since it is not football or basketball, I never brought myself to dive into it, until now.

Journal #13: A Rigged League
February 15, 2022

It's terrible that this is my first article coming out of the Super Bowl, but many questions have been raised after the refereeing performance on Sunday night. For those stuck in a shoebox, the issue with the refs on Sunday is that only six penalties were called throughout the game, and three of them came in the last two minutes.

Journal #12: Does Aaron Rodgers deserve to be MVP?
February 12, 2022

When should the NFL MVP be voted on? This is a question that has sparked a little bit of debate between NFL fans since the NFL Honors Awards show aired, and Aaron Rodgers won the MVP. So naturally, as a Chicago Bears fan, my ears perked up when people hated on this year's MVP. ​

Puppy Tips
House Training Puppies
​February 9, 2022

This is the official first article of Puppy Tips! Okay, so you just got your puppy home, and you don’t know what to do. This little thing is peeing and pooping everywhere. What in the world do you do?! The best advice I can give you is do NOT get mad. I know a lot of y’all have raised dogs and might say “oh well you should shove their noses in their mess and yell at it then throw it outside”. DO NOT DO THAT! By doing that, you are terrifying your puppy and also giving it attention. Even “bad” attention will reinforce the behavior. Because it is just a pup it doesn’t know the difference between “good” attention and “bad” attention, it’s all just attention. This will be a common lesson throughout this page. ​

Journal #11: The Team From Harrisburg
​February 7, 2022

Picture
It is Super Bowl Week, and I had every intention to write strictly about football this week until the Busch Light Classic decided to be excellent, and I felt the need to write about that. While researching the race for this article, I came across a team based out of my hometown, Harrisburg, North Carolina, JTG Daugherty Racing. After finding out that my little small town in North Carolina was home to an actual team, all my focus shifted. This article comprises of what I could find out about JTG Daugherty Racing. ​
