Nine days are all I've got left. Nine days left in a little town called Abilene at a campus I have come to call home. Nine more days of the Bean. Only nine short days 'til I hand in the key (which I think I have lost) to the last dorm room I'll ever live in. Cue the tears; send in the clowns; strike up the band; I'm starting to say my ...

De León is the real deal-eon
In case you missed it, ACU chose Houston native and Notre Dame product Lee De León as the new athletic director. For me personally, it was a bit of a shock, but a happy one for sure. In the past, whether it be an administrative role or a coaching position, ACU has gained the reputation of hiring within the ACU community. But this time, President ... [Read More…]
I’m discovering where the maker meets the lab

If I only had the nerve
Well, ladies and gents, this is my last column of 2014. I put a lot of thought into what I wanted this to be about because we have so much coming up.

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Dreamers sit in bakeries
"The kids these days, they have to work. The time for dreams, the time for dreaming, is done. But everyone is dreaming, everyone is dreaming these days." Sitting in a little bakery two doors down from my hostel in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, I didn't expect to hear this. I didn't expect to hear any English, to be honest, but a woman behind me and ...
