Fiesta Bowl

ONE MILLION, THIRTY THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE. That is the number of fans that entered the gates to KFC T20 Big Bash League fixtures during BBL05. With a crowd average of 28,279 over 32 games this summer, the BBL has found itself with the 9th highest attendance of a sporting fixture in the world. Crowds have risen an incredible 47% since the inaugural BBL01, when only 550,220 fans entered the gates (17,749 per game). Back then, the BBL was considered a joke of a league, something suitable for children, and children only. Now, five seasons in, not only is the Big Bash League appealing to children, it seems to be the trending topic around all of Australia come every summer. STARRY NIGHT: A domestic record of 80,883 fans watched on as the Melbourne Stars defeated the Melbourne Renegades at the MCG. So what’s changed? What has made the BBL the most talked about sport of the summer? Why are the fans now flooding through the gates? Where was all the support five years ago? In 2011, when the “KFC Twenty-20 Big Bash” rebranded and became the BBL, Australian domestic cricket fans were left unsure and confused about the whole concept. In South Australia, the West End Redbacks had become the blue Adelaide Strikers, a colour most associate with rival Victorians, who had seen their DEC Bushrangers become not one, but two new teams, the red Melbourne Renegades and green Melbourne Stars igniting a new Melbourne rivalry. The poor advertising and explanation of the new league…

Bowling Blues- Becoming Better It’s a typical Saturday morning. I get out of bed, walk up the stairs, and pour myself a bowl of Fruit Loops. The eating is slow because I do not plan on doing anything special today. At least, that’s what I believe until my monotonous meal is interrupted as my dad walks into the kitchen. “Ryker,” he says, “We are going bowling today. We will leave in twenty minutes.” Bowling! Excitement floods my mind as I tell myself that today will be the day that I will…

When I was a little boy, I loved to play sports and be active. When I woke up in the morning, I ask myself, “What am I going to accomplish today,” or “Where am I going to go today?” There is always one place for me that makes me who I really am and makes everything perfect, and that's the Bowling Alley. Ever since I was a little kid, my dad has been teaching me every little thing I needed to know about Bowling. I always wanted a tutor, but my dad always said no because he wanted to teach me to…

ax chopping through wood. I caught a glimpse of the Donelson Bowling Team at the lanes out of the corner of my eye. The vibe of lanes two through six were stern and business like because both teams knew that a state tournament appearance was on the line. In the regional rankings, the teams were ranked third and fourth, and the top three teams in the region qualify for state while the others are forced to bowl in a district tournament where the winner goes to state. The team remembered what had…

The Failure of the American Dream Everyone is in search of the American dream. Throughout the 1930’s the United States was enveloped in the depths of a Great Depression. During this time, the dream of a better life was hard if not nearly impossible to achieve. If you were an African-American during this time, you were even further from grasping any dream. With all the hardships and loneliness associated with the Great Depression, what was there left to dream for? During the Great Depression,…
