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.

LU can make a run with a not even a great but a good second round.

Here's the breakdown on Big 12 Trophies won this year Texas A&M -7 Oklahoma- 6 Texas- 5 Baylor- 5 Nebraska- 4 Colorado- 2 Kansas- 2 Iowa St.- 1 Oklahoma St. -1 Here's the A&M/UT Trophies Texas A&M (7)- Women's Soccer, Women's Indoor Track, Women's Swimming, Women's Basketball, Women's Golf, Women's Outdoor Track, Baseball Tournament Texas (5)- Women's Soccer Tournament, Men's Swimming, Men's Indoor Track, Women's Tennis, Baseball

I didn't play football but I've always hated homecoming. I just never saw the point of spending all the money on fake flowers and ribbon then watch a football game with this big thing on your arm (though I went every year). I understand the original idea of bringing alumni together but it really has gotten out of hand.

Though is says 3500 it can hold over 5000.

Not looking good on 8-10, sitting 5 over. Stanford is leading at -8 after 5-8.

Every year sebaseball.com makes an NIT field. I know it's not real but it's fun to look at. Regionals of note. Norman, OK 1. Oklahoma 4. Wright St. 2. Southern Illinois 3. Lamar Lexington, KY 1. Kentucky 4. SFA 2. Evansville 3. Illinois Baton Rouge, LA 1. LSU 4. Binghampton 2. Texas St. 3. Louisiana Tech Richmond, VA 1. UTSA 4. Quinnipiac 2. Delaware 3. Richmond By the way this is the 3rd straight year LU's been listed in their NIT field

I'll feel good if they can get close to even after nine. Then from there they could takeover.

PN-G's is usually the first home district game, so that would be LC-M.

I believe it only includes people in their circulation area.

Not for me yet. But I did look at the entire field and Lamar faced 8 of the 64 teams this year, this is how they fared (the numbers to left are the regional seed) Lamar was (7-7) vs the field. 1) Rice (0-1) Lost 13-4 2) Creighton (1-0) Won 12-3 3) Oklahoma St. (0-1) Lost 5-2 3) St. John's (0-1) Lost 14-3 4) Illinois-Chicago (0-1) Lost 9-8 4) Sam Houston St. (3-1) Won 9-6, Won 8-7, Won 5-4, Lost 7-3 2) UL-Lafayette (0-2) Lost 5-4, Lost 3-1 4) Le Moyne (2-0) Won 6-1, Won 8-2

I really like this format, it gives everyone a fair chance. Just for fun this would've been the SLC with this format Pool A 1) UTSA 4) Sam Houston St. 5) McNeese St. 8 ) Northwestern St. Pool B 2) Lamar 3) Texas St. 6) SFA 7) Southeastern Louisiana

Teams were split into pools Pool A 1) Texas (2-1) 4) Nebraska (1-2) 5) Texas A&M (2-1) 8 ) Kansas St. (1-2) A&M advance due to head to head win with UT Pool B 2) Missouri (1-2) 3) Oklahoma St. (0-3) 6) Baylor (3-0) 7) Oklahoma (2-1) Baylor advances

Just got back from Natchitoches it was a great game. Just one thing Baker didn't strike out to end the game. With a runner at 3rd and 2 outs Baker hit a shot right to the 3rd baseman who threw him out. Coach G said after the game he was suprised the 3rd baseman was playing so close to the line, normally teams give Baker the line because he hits more to the hole. Instead he played the line and it worked out, G said just about any game this year that would've been a hit for him. Also G flat out said he didn't believe his team lost to Sam Houston last night he didn't want to go into detail but you could tell he was still frustrated.

11:00 am 1) UTSA vs 2) Lamar 3:00 pm 3) Texas St. vs 6) SFA 7:00 pm 4) Sam Houston St. vs Winner of UTSA/LU
