Friday, July 28th, Oxnard-California 6:26am-Never fails, everyone I know, knows I'm in California, but they always forget about the 2-hour difference in time...argh! 6:45am-My head is still on central time, plus I can't get back to sleep...time to get to camp and hug Coach Parcells. 9:05am-After an incredible breakfast at the Ventura Beach Marriott (ham and egg omelet with pepper jack cheese), Jamie and I arrive at the Hayes RV Luxury Suite...otherwise known as the place where everyone in camp wishes they could be. 9:15am-Cowboys staff member asks when we'll start cooking the food...now I know why everyone was excited to see us. 9:30am-Jamie Lent, Mike Laroux, and I check in for credentials. Cowboys PR stud Brett Daniels tells me that T.O. might be the only one "off-limits" for interviews this summer. 10:15am-Jamie Lent discover "ants" infiltrating our kitchen sink in the RV...apparently tasting Mike Laroux's loaf of bread. 11:00am-Bill Parcells Press Conference about to begin, I can't control myself!!! Did I hear Jerry Jones say he "hopes" the Cowboys make the post-season? You sign T.O., Vanderjagt, extend Parcells contract, and you "hope" to make the playoffs? The ultimate Cowboys optimist has been muzzled? 17 of the 44 questions during today's press conference were about Terrell Owens...none of them were something we haven't already heard before... 2:07pm-Sports Talk begins... Jennifer Floyd-Engel tells me she wants to be in California, but won't be here until August 5th...we'll miss her. ESPN's John Clayton says covering Cowboys Training Camp is always a circus... Most open-line callers appear happy with the Rangers trading for Carlos Lee...most defend Jerry Jones for "toning down his Cowboys predictions." 5:00pm-Sports Talk ends...seemed like another good show. We start having player interviews on Monday. 5:15pm-First T.O. sighting around our RV and Smoker...talking with a couple of teammates... Smoaky's Camp Goal---get T.O. to the smoker, and eventually an interview inside the Hayes RV Luxury Suite. 5:45pm-Dinner time...time for some Buffalo Wings, and beating Jamie Lent and my son Craig in Putt-Putt. 8:05pm-Jamie had steak quesadillas, Craig ordered a healthy chicken salad, and I gobbled down a cajun chicken sandwich. We ate at Cronie's Bar & Grill...always good food, nice atmosphere, but terrible service and it was hot as heck. Sunday, July 30th...Cowboys lose a tight end, one practice today... 10:00am-I'm in a rut for breakfast, third straight day of ham and cheese omelet, although I added some veggies (mushrooms, green peppers, and onions) today. Tomorrow--no doubt, I'm ordering waffles with lots of syrup and butter. 11:30am-Bill Parcells Press Conference Notes *Tight end Brett Pierce has been lost for the season after reinjuring his ACL. *Defensive end Marcus Spears is having surgery today on his torn meniscus, should be back within 2-3 weeks. *Offensive tackle Flozell Adams will practice today, apparently ran 86 50-yard dashes on Saturday, although I would think "dashes" might be exaggerated. *Parcells said his short conversation with defensive end Greg Ellis was nothing more than talking technique, and Parcells says he and Ellis have a very good relationship and the ability to separate the business side of the game from the on-field side of the game. *Parcells singled out cornerback Terrance Newman as perhaps the most dedicated and player with the most commitment of anyone on the team for his off-season workout regimen. Parcells also added offensive tackle Rob Pettiti probably improved the most of any one player during the off-season...but said the second-year pro must take that improvement from the weight room onto the field. *Parcells said he's asked Newman to take any punt return duties "more seriously", and that he will be used as a spot return man at times...although the Cowboys are hoping Skylar Green gets most of those returns. *Parcells called tight end Jason Whitten "The Big Easy", in reference to Whitten riding the big wave (contract extension)...and says Whitten has a high ceiling, but not quite ready to include him in the same breath as Ben Coates and Mark Bavaro. *When asked which side of the ball is easier to rebuild through the draft... I think the defense for me personally, because there's wider array of people that I can look at and say this guy fits here specifically, and the key position on offense is at quarterback, and there are just very few of those options available to you on a yearly basis. And some of the one's that appear to be the cream of the crop for that year, have of those aren't any good at the end of the day." 1:03pm-Jamie Lent and I are on our way to Walmart to shop for football cards. 2:00pm-Fairly uneventful practice, intermixed with some special teams work for the first time. Linebacker Kevin Burnett and offensive tackle Marc Colombo were involved in a little cat-fight during the team scrimmage portion of practice. Burnett tried to land a punch, but the 6-8, 320-pound Colombo didn't seem fazed. I originally thought Greg Ellis was involved, but as usual he was a peace-keeper. Cowboys will have an intra-squad scrimmage next Saturday, and of course that's when coaches can see even more on tape, with younger players and bubble players under fire. 7:00pm-Jamie Lent, Craig Smoak, and I went to Andria's for some great seafood, but the line out the front door scared us off. The line suggests great food that's worth waiting for, but we didn't have time to wait.

Rangers could acquire Tejada Buster Olney, ESPN, mentioned the Rangers could be close to acquiring Miguel Tejada for Joaquin Arias and Hank Blalock. Tejada would move to 3rd base.

We'll see if the Rangers can hang on?

This Year it's in Lumberton. Their Visitor stands are fairly big from what i can remember.

Southlake Carroll's enrollment numbers from 1988 to present? 1988- 524 1989- 516 1990- 561 1991- 589 1992- 659 1993- 769 1994- 963 1995- 1152 1996- 1313 (YOU GET THE PICTURE) 2004- 2338 2005- 2411 What other schools do you see with this trend? Carroll took a big jump from 1993 to 1994 with enrollment, and it continued to increase every year.

Could be closer than that!

Silsbee has some size coming back this year as well.

I'll buy!

Thanks. I know you guys are loaded.

I'll buy. Silsbee will have a very good team this year with most of their starters back. Their OL looks strong to.

I'll sell, she'll get out voted.

Has things calmed down with the G.J. Kinne situation?

Thats great!!

Yea he's a great guy. If you'll look on his website we have a partnership with him now.

Can you get his radio show on the net?
