Just Waiting

Tis the season for....waiting for football season. A good time for a sports guy to go do some different stories. Enjoyed spending the early morning Tuesday at the MUSC Wellness Center for Boot Camp Fitness. A lot of gyms do boot camps, but this one is the real deal. It's taught by Marines in Officer Training School at the Citadel. It starts at 6am (0600 for military folks). Check out the story on our website.
So Steve Spurrier is going to have a paid website starting next week.(www.spurrierhbc.com) $100 gets you a year subscription - imagine how much cash will roll in for that. Word is Tommy Bowden is going to be doing the same thing.
Charleston Battery is moving on in the U.S. Open Cup and you gotta love Tim Karalexis' post game soundbite: "we're gonna keep it going, win the whole and make some money, right?" Right on. The winning team splits $100,000 which means a little more to players in the A League as opposed to the MLS. Battery hosts FC Dallas in the quarterfinals August 7th.
Your North Dakota fact o' the week is football related. The mighty University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux open the season against....Humboldt State of California Thursday August 23rd. Go Sioux!
You can hear more North Dakota facts by listening to Fantalk on ESPN Radio 910 the team from 3-6pm Monday through Friday. Darren Goldwater and Bobby Hartin always happy to talk about the Great Plains.
