Pretty cool to read about, I hope he takes it.

Tiger rocks, but it would be exceptionally cool to see Watson win out.

Not a problem Tiger didn't make the cut.

ABC (or whoever is broadcasting the British Open) are breathing a HUGE sigh of relief after Tiger didn't make the cut. Imagine the ratings if Watson hadn't ridden in to save the day.

It seems like the British, more than the other majors, always has a story of intrest other than Tiger. Last year was The Shark, year before that Padraig denying Sergio his first major and so on. I think it's the allure of watching the greatest players in the world struggle to play a links course.

No tears for Tom Watson, He had a spectacular weekend, even though he did not take it home he played amazingly well and deserved much props, especially for a 59 year old guy with a fake hip

And Cink deserves some credit as well.

      Ladies at ACU

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
