"Don't know if anyone noticed that the assistant coach was former North Texas player Rodney Belcher. Belcher played with Beaumont Ozen's High School coach Andre Boutte. (under Tommy Newman) " A funny but true story. As a graduate assistant under Tommy Newman, Rodney Belcher came off the bench and played AS Andre Boutte in one game.

Unfortunately, Bryan and Chris were both released on Tuesday. Bryan has since signed with the Oklahoma City USBL franchise, but I have not heard what Chris has planned.

Charlie, Our canopy is a 10' x 20' EZ-UP Eclipse. These are fairly expensive but are probably the most durable pop-up canopies available. When I purchased ours in 2000, the cost was around $950, but that included a custom color charge, weight bags, stake kit, heavy duty carrying bag (a must), and the optional 500 denier weight polyester top (standard is 250 and rips easier). EZ-UP top standard colors are red, white or blue and cost less (the red is probably close enough to vermilion to work for you guys). Although the EZ-UPs are expensive (and quite heavy), they are much more durable than the less expensive brands, and replacement components are redily available. If you are contemplating something smaller, QuickShade makes a light duty 12' x 12' that comes standard in several colors and only costs around $169 at most of the larger sporting goods stores. These are suited perfectly for the majority of smaller tailgate functions, and also fit into a car trunk instead of having to be trucked around. Good luck, and happy tailgating.

In PARADE magazine this past Sunday (9-08-02) the cover story was "Our American Spirit". It was a series of 7 photographs taken by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Eddie Adams that capture the images of American Spirit and reveal the qualities that make our nation great: our strength, our diversity, our unity, and our pride. The largest photo displayed is titled Sheer Energy. It is a picture of several North Texas cheerleaders intermixed with dozens of high school cheerleaders that were participating in this summer's University of North Texas Cheerleading Camp. The caption below the picture said: SHEER ENERGY Cheerleaders from around the United States show their exuberance at a camp at the University of North Texas in Denton on July 16. This fall, they'll be stirring up team spirit in crowds nationwide. Once again I'd like to say how proud I am of our National Champion Cheerleaders. Pure Excellence at it's Finest!
