  1. I used to be on the faculty of a well known university. I was not on the faculty senate, but was occasionally asked to act as a proxy for someone who could not attend. At one of the meetings they reviewed the athletic department's major sports programs and their budgets. I was shocked at how much was spent on tutors alone. I was also shocked to hear that in real life the average GPA for the basketball team was under 2.0 (it takes a 2.0 to graduate) while in the press it was routinely stated how great the basketball team was doing academically, that no one was failing, and that the graduation rate was equal to the student population in general (of course it was for those who stayed more than one year). The athletes, particularly football, get better food, better dorms if they have them for athletes, better health care, etc. None of this is new.
  2. Earl was so fun to watch. He dished it out to those trying to tackle him. He also made a lot of guys miss.
  3. I don’t think the next game will be televised, but the ones that are televised at Stanford are really second rate. They have one camera and the graphics are very primitive. I guess Stanford is a poor school.
  4. Mercy rule. 14 to 4. Monsour knocks three in with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th for a walk off down the right field line to the wall.
  5. Cozart has looked good for his stint. Going to bottom of 7.
  6. Mendoza K. End of 6, 9 to 4.
  7. 6th, bases loaded, 2 outs, Mendoza up
  8. 2nd dinger for Tinney tonight. 9 to 4
  9. Craig Way and Keith Moreland on the call tonight are so much better than most of the SEC network crews.
  10. Igloo, Texas Instruments, Yeti, Fritos (not the parent company), several oil companies, . . .
  11. Whataburger, Buc-ee's, Blue Bell, SW Airlines, HEB, . . .
  12. Wells has 3 hits this season. All homeruns.
