I am not one to point fingers, but Jerry Jones, I blame you. Dallas had one shot to show off to the world, and quite frankly, Arlington disappointed many. Football was not the problem on Sunday. The game was exciting and emotional, as it would come down to the final possession before the Packers emerged victorious. Many fans traveled across the ... [Read More…]
The Super Bowl is the real American pastime
It is the biggest sporting event of the year. More than $55 million are spent on this one day, every year for food alone. That doesn't include the billions of dollars spent by advertisers trying to come up with the cleverest commercial of the year. The Super Bowl truly is the one sporting event that can attract all walks of life. From the ... [Read More…]
The Steel Curtain will prevail
A recent report indicated that the Steelers' beloved "Terrible Towel," a symbol of the unity of the Steelers fan base, is produced in Wisconsin, a mere two hours southwest of Green Bay. McArthur Towel and Sports Company has been making the prideful symbol for the black and yellow fan base since 1997. In 1996, that same company made the Packers a ... [Read More…]
Why the Packers will win Super Bowl XLV
With just two weeks to go in the regular season, the Green Bay Packers were on the outside looking in at the Giants for one of the two wild card spots in this year's playoffs.

For the Love of the Game
Inspiration comes in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and sources. For some, it can come from quotations and texts, while others prefer material things like posters and words of encouragement. For me, it came in the form of a six-year-old, 15-pound boy named Josiah Viera. In a wonderfully sculpted piece, ESPN's Tom Rinaldi chronicled the incredible ... [Read More…]

Michael Bacon Guest Column
Warning/disclaimer: this is pretty sappy/corny, but I've had several people ask me, in the last several days, what last night at the Ballpark in Arlington was like. I haven't really had an answer other than, "awesome, unbelievable." After letting the thought that the Rangers are really going to the World Series sink in, I think I know why last ... [Read More…]
Number one, not a safe place in 2010
By Brenna Jefferies The past two years the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) national championship bowl has been pretty predictable, with Texas, Alabama and Florida circling like vultures for the number one spot. But this year that spot has been tossed from team to team like a hot potato - no one seems to want to be in that position. Number one teams ... [Read More…]
Div. I move a long way off
Over the course of the semester people have been asking one question. Will ACU move up to Division I? The answer for the time being is quite simply 'I don't know.'
