This blog is to correct the previous website blog. The Wing T Sports Show is now MUCH easier to access. The website is:

http://wingtsportsshow.com/

Check this site out if you haven't already. This site is merely an extension of our weekly show focusing on Urbana High School and youth sports programs. Please note that the Wing T Show WILL be broadcasting (LIVE!) the upcoming Homecoming game against Centennial right here on WRFU -104.5. This game will feature the unveiling of the BRAND NEW Cross Town Championship Trophy fabricated and donated by the Wing T Sports Show. Our website shows recent progress photos and is intended to begin a new tradition like the Wright Street Trophy for the Central-Urbana game.

Stay tuned to for a new feature where each show will be posted to the website as a podcast so you can enjoy radio excellence over and over.

Yes Wing T fans, the wait is finally over. A new website has been created by Tanglefoot Jones and Superdome to keep our listeners up to date with the show as well as provide an avenue to post each week's show on line as a pod cast. The website is below.

It's been a while Urbana (the city that starts with yo"U"), but I couldn't let this latest nonsense go without publishing another addition of "The Rant".

First, let me start this rant with a question. In your walk of life, whether it's as an professional, student, athlete, etc., what does receiving a compliment or recognition do for you and your continued performance at your job, school, etc? Before answering, let me address those of you who may tend to take things to extremes. I am an avid proponent of humility and placing others ahead of yourself. This is an excellent quality to have and will only serve to extend the power of your influence. Nonetheless, if we are all honest with ourselves, we like to receive compliments and/or recognition. It confirms for us that what we are doing makes a difference. Now, the challenge is to not allow those to "go to our head" and inflate our ego (which is an entirely different topic for a rant on another day). My point today is to simply address the value of a compliment.

Well, hello Urbana, the city that starts with yo"U"!! It's been a while, but I believe it's time for another addition of "The Rant".
In watching the Winter Games, it dawned on me, what is the best way to describe an athlete? I would have to say "heart". When you hear that word, the scientific term means nothing more than an small organe that sends blood through your body. But think of the symbolism. It is THE most vital organ in our body and it sends the necessary blood to the rest of us so we may experience life. So when you describe an athlete, the most complete defenition is "heart". Now, this can be a positive or negative description. We've all heard folks say he or she has a lot of heart or they have no heart. I realize to be successful, it also helps to have God given talent or athleticism. But, if you ask me if I'd rather have a talented athlete or an athlete who is all heart, give me the latter every day. The reason is you cannot measure the power of the heart of someone. The movie "Rudy" comes to mind. He probably had more heart than any football player who has ever stepped foot on the grid iron. Unfortunately, he was undersized and not blessed with much physical talent.

Hello Urbana, the city that starts with yoU! Thank you to again to all the listeners, we appreciate your support. It's that time again for another installment of "The Rant". I again have 2 items I need to get off my chest. The first is based off the recent show and interview with the very dedicated Parent's Club Presidents. First, let me say "thank you!" to those who have sacrificed your time and funds to see that the athletes at UHS still have a program and are able to experience participating in their respective sports.

To those of you who view this as "someone else's job" or don't feel it is vital to the continuation of the programs at UHS, take a moment to consider when you were this age. Did you participate in a sport or other activity? Did you even consider how all the equipment, travel, food, etc. was proivided? Thank goodness for those dedicated parents who chose to make sure their programs continued on their watch.
