Meet the Staff

I'm Chip Ramsey a career broadcaster who has been a sports radio program director in Milwaukee and Nashville. I've covered everything from high school and college sports (including the SEC, Big Ten, MVC and OVC) to Major League Baseball, The NFL and the NHL. I have a few things to say, and when I want to say them, I say them here.

I mostly talk about my teams, which would be the White Sox, Bears, and Blackhawks, but I do talk about other things as well. Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will bookmark this site and visit often!

Chip Shots: Breaking News: On A Carousel

Breaking News: On A Carousel

Some upheaval this morning in the college coaching world, with no shock, a mild shock and a big shock:

Big Shock: Jeff Bower is OUT at Southern Miss (alma mater of Brett Favre.) Bower had been with the school 17 seasons and had a record of 118-82-1 at a school that had to fight the SEC for recruits and played in what's left of C-USA after it was raided by the Big East. Reports are Bower resigned, but rumors are he did so at gunpoint. Southern Miss would be a great landing spot for Ed Orgeron.
Mild Shock: Chan Gailey was asked to leave the building at Georgia Tech. In six seasons, he never beat Georgia. Ask Bill Curry what happens to you when you don't beat a rival, Chan. Bill Callahan, anyone? Paul Johnson used to be at Georgia Southern. G-Tech would be a nice upgrade from Navy and a lot better than SMU.
No Shock: Ted Roof, who was 6-45 in six years, gets canned at Duke. Do I hear Coach Fran anyone? He'd be perfect for that job.
