I agree for most picks as far as standings waste of money but the info on players and returning starters etc. it's a very valuable source.

Harrington is signing with San Diego tonight. This is the 3rd Lamar grad in the system along with Clay Hensley and Kyle Stutes.

Today he finished 2nd in Nationals with a personal best time of 49.02. Isa Phillips of LSU took gold with a 48.51. CONGRATS!

I'm going with Dayton vs WO-Stark but the Reliant Matchups will be interesting.

I will be pulling for Rice of course but the Anteaters are now my number two team, lol.

PN-G since Long left 2006 (5-5) 2005 (5-3) 2004 (8-4) District Champs, Area Finalists 2003 (9-3) District Champs, Area Finalists. Actually went 10-2 on the field but was forced to forfeit a non-district 38-18 win vs Jasper. Other two losses were by a combined 2 points. 2002 (5-5) 2001 (3-6) 2000 (5-5)

US wins 2:0, 21 game unbeaten streak at Gold Cup.

I wish they would. My parents have it on DirecTV. Everytime I'm over ther I'm either watching ESPNU or CSTV.

They actually advance to College Station not Austin.

I'll be headed there to cover them Wednesday. I think Nick is going for 4 and Mike for 6.

That's Round Rock, I'll be there ;D

Right now the team is on 17-18. They've shot 5 under for the day to lower their score to 5 over and currently sit in 4th. Man I wish they could've done this earlier.

Most of the time yes but some managers tell a couple of guys to be ready then decides gameday, sometimes when they arrive at the park. So I agree it doesn't make sense to just tell someone he's starting that's why you tell a couple of guys to be ready.

San Jac lost back to back 1 run games to be eliminated.

Make that 22-31 and by the way they're only 7.5 back in the Comedy Central. Milwaukee is starting to show signs of who they really are. Any other division I could understand this talk but not the NL Central. I think the Stros only won something like 10 games last May and 11 the year before, June will tell the story of the season.

Along the left field area there is a place with picnic tables.

Wish I could make it but I have a game at Memorial tonight. I'm working tomorrow night so I'm there for game 2.

Spoke with Jesse last week. Him in Hale started against each other on the 24th. Floyd won again, here are their lines New Britain Rock Cats Jesse Floyd (W, 3-3) 7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO Bowie BaySox Beau Hale (L 5-3) 4 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 SO

I would say it's over. 1. Stanford -7 20. Lamar +12 Now let's shoot for a top 10 finish, right now that's +6.

Here's some more info I found. Why Bevo? UT tradition has long ascribed it to the name of a Prohibition-era “near beer†produced by Anheuser-Busch (“Bevo†was a play on “pivo,†the Czech word for beer). The drink became extremely popular through the 1920s, selling 50 million cases annually. But Bevo Beer wasn’t introduced until 1916, and didn’t reach Austin stores until that fall. It’s unlikely (though not impossible) that it had acquired enough of a following by Thanksgiving to be Dyer’s inspiration in naming the new mascot. More likely is a suggestion by Dan Zabcik, BA ’93, that Bevo’s name was derived from a series of Sunday comic strips drawn by Gus Mager. The strips featured cartoonish monkeys whose names reflected their personality traits: the boastful Braggo the Monk and the bumbling detective Sherlocko the Monk were two of his best-known creations. Mager’s work became so popular that it spawned a nationwide fad of similar “-o†nicknames — including Groucho, Harpo, and Chico Marx, then aspiring Vaudeville performers. “Beeve†is a slang term for cattle destined for the dinner table. It’s still used today and was certainly familiar to Texans living in the more rural 1910s. Did Dyer, keeping with the trend of the time, alter “beeve†to “Bevo?†No one knows for sure, but it’s a compelling argument. Also in the early days the football teams were known as follows A&M College Farmers Univeristy of Texas Varstiy (lesser used names Steers or T-Men)

Here's the true story, still a good one ;D We're both wrong. Hornery The Story of Bevo After a struggle, the Aggies subdued the steer and branded him, in 8-inch-high numbers, “13-0†— the score of the 1915 UT-A&M Thanksgiving football game. The stunt was retaliation for UT’s embarrassing 21-7 win in the 1916 rematch. With the deed done and their school’s honor presumably restored, the Aggies snuck away into the night. Students and alumni alike were distraught at the new mascot’s disfigurement. Legend has it that a group of clever UT students altered the brand, changing the “13†into a “B†and the “-†into an “E,†and inserting a “V†before the “0.†Their handiwork had transformed the repellent “13-0†into “BEVO,†the name of a popular non-alcoholic “near beer.†Thanks to their ingenuity, UT’s mascot has been known ever since as Bevo. There’s no question it’s a good yarn. Some of it is even true. But the real facts of the case are a little different: there never was a second brand, Bevo was named over two months before the Aggie raid, and he probably wasn’t named for a beverage. But even with the loss of that picturesque origin, the exploits of Bevo I and his successors are still the stuff of Longhorn legend. Bevos have been barbecued, kidnapped, lost, impersonated, banned, demoted, petted, and feted. They have been present at national championships and presidential inaugurations. They have gored and trampled and charged — sometimes UT’s opponents, sometimes their own caretakers. They have left their mark — literally — on some of college football’s most hallowed ground. And what was originally the gift of a few dedicated Texas Exes has grown into the University’s most recognized symbol and one of college sports’ most enduring and popular mascots.

No Varsity was Bevo's original name before they stole him and branded 13-0 on the side. The brilliant tsips turned the 13 into a B the dash into an E placed a V before the O and had a new name for the mascot. Congrats A&M helped name your mascot and by the way an Aggie still raises it to this day on an undisclosed ranch. Just a side note A&M also named Rice's mascot Sammy when they stole it.
