You can follow me on Twitter at scottbrown107, which means you'll get links to the Wendy's Sports Blog as they are written as well as thought-provoking and entertaining tweets from time to time.
I'm only 800,000 followers behind UK coach John Calipari so help me catch him.
Here is the WKDZ/WHVO sports schedule for this week:
MONDAY (4/20)
Can't remember what happened locally last year?
There were 768 posts recorded on the WKDZ sports blog in 2007. That's an average of 64 posts a month, 14.7 posts a week, and 2.1 posts every day. All on sports.
We were also fortunate enough to have Wendy's of Cadiz join the blog as the sponsor -- a partnership we appreciate and look forward to developing more in 2008.
Best I can tell, we covered just about every varsity event in every varsity sport in 2007.
Thanks to the coaches and parents for helping send in the results or by calling on the phone with a score or two.
As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome by clicking on the comments link under this post. Tell me what you think about the blog and what you would like to see more or less of on here.
And now, on to 2008!
If you didn't catch a recent Trigg County game on the radio, you can visit the WKDZ/WHVO Audio Rack and listen to Trigg County and Fort Campbell football games whenever you want.
The Audio Rack will have archived Trigg County and Fort Campbell football games, broken down by quarter or by half. These can be accessed through your computer's Media Player.
If the response is good, we may add other programming later such as basketball games, softball games, baseball games, and the Saturday Morning Sports Report.
We will also add local programming and interviews, and will be able to listen to the award winning WKDZ/WHVO newscasts and breaking news. There may also be some nostalgic local audio put on here as well.
If you have trouble with the media files, can't download the audio, or have another problem or suggestions, please e-mail us at [email protected] and we'll see if the problem is something we can solve.
Just click on the icon to listen to Wildcat and Falcon football whenever you want 24/7. All access all the time.
Wendy's of Cadiz is the new sponsor of the WKDZ sports blog. You'll be seeing their logo on the blog and the on-air sports segment that airs on WKDZ and WHVO will now be referred to as the "Wendy's Sports Edge."
I'm excited and very grateful that Wendy's has decided to become a sponsor of the blog and the sports edge. Not only do they make great burgers and a fantastic Spicy Chicken Sandwich, but they also recognize how important local sports are to the community. They're now partnering with your best source of local sports to continue their involvment in the community.
As if adding Wendy's as a sponsor of the blog and the sports edge wasn't enough, stay tuned for an announcement that will detail how you can listen to Trigg County and Fort Campbell sports online at any time.
As always, thanks for your support of the blog -- the number of visitors continues to climb every day.
As the blog closes in on 900 posts in a little over a year (that's 16 posts or stories a week and nearly 70 a month), I want to say thanks to everyone who reads this.
In the past month, the number of visitors has doubled what we had at this time last year. Nearly half of you come from searches and half from other websites such as WKDZRadio.com, Bluegrasspreps.com, and eteamz.com. The rest have this site bookmarked.
The fact that the numbers have doubled tells me that you're using the blog as your primary source for local sports, and I appreciate the support.
However, in the past 30 days, the cities and towns with the most people visiting the blog are: (in order of greatest to least by ISPs or dial-up numbers) Herndon, Lexington, Princeton, Louisville, Gracey, Hopkinsville, Gilbertsville, Cadiz, Eddyville, and Murray. That's pretty much everyone around us.
As always, feel free to e-mail stories, pictures, ideas, and thoughts to [email protected].

For the first time in 15 years, high school baseball will be carried on WKDZ.
A preliminary schedule plans for at least 11 Trigg County baseball or softball games to be carried on AM-1110 WKDZ and nine more games involving Christian County schools on Oldies 1480 WHVO.
I'll be handling the play-by-play duties and will have some different people stopping in from time to time on the air.

The first game will be today at 5pm when Trigg County visits University Heights. The game will be carried on both radio stations.
Each game will begin with the Dixon Septic and Backhoe Dugout Show 15 minutes before the first pitch. Here is the list of sponsors for both baseball and softball on WKDZ and WHVO.

This is the 500th post on the sports blog since it began in August.
The blog has been up and running for 200 days. That's an average of four posts a day, and 28 posts a week. There aren't many local sports sources that are giving you that much information at the click of a mouse.
I want to thank everyone for their support of the blog and thank those who have e-mailed or sent me information to use on the blog.
Any and all news is welcome at [email protected].
Now on to the second 500 posts.
This week's Saturday morning playback is Trigg County's 50-47 win over Livingston Central from Tuesday night.
