 
Welcome to Phil Nation. I am here to make your detour on the Information Superhighway a most pleasant one. You will want to come back and visit again in the future- but trust me, you probably won't want to live here!
My home page is entitled Phil Nation after the nickname given to me by two men's college
basketball coaches, Ken Dempsey and Darryl Hilliard. For many years in Boston, there was a sports talk show called Ted Nation that aired weeknights
on a local radio station (for those of you in the Boston area, or who know the area, it is WEEI
850 AM), hosted by Ted Sarandis. Like Ted, I am very knowledgeable and enthusiastic
about the sports world, especially college basketball. The coaches, whom I know very well
personally from being a manager on the men's basketball team, gave me the nickname during the 1995-96
basketball season, and it has stuck ever since with small variations like simply, "The Nation".
(The show is no longer on the air as of October 2005, when Ted left WEEI.)
At this point, you may go in one of several directions from your starting point. It's up to you; where do you want to go in Phil Nation?
