I'll be honest, I don't really like writing about myself. It just feels awkward. But since this is the last piece you'll see from me in Texas' greatest college newspaper, I suppose I can try. So here goes. When I came to ACU I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. My major was chosen by what sounded good. Seriously. After two years of ... [Read More…]
Harbaugh brothers continue building dynasties
In review of the 2013 NFL Draft, I'd like to share my opinion on it. I'd say the San Francisco 49ers finished with the best draft in the NFC, because they filled the holes in their defense. Although they had a dominant defense last season, they still needed to fill some big shoes. In free-agency the 49ers lost safety Dashon Goldson, tight end ... [Read More…]
Griner’s talent should be praised
Brittney Griner was recently drafted first overall in the WNBA draft, and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has said he will consider taking Griner in the NBA draft as well. Griner is one of my favorite basketball players to watch, male or female. Her dominance is unlike anything I have seen in basketball and her ability is revolutionizing women's ... [Read More…]
Coach is more than Goodenough
Head coach firings are usually looked upon in a negative light. In the case of the women's basketball program, the change was a step in the right direction. Julie Goodenough took over as head coach of the basketball team on March 27, 2012. She replaced Shawna Lavender who began her head coaching career with the Wildcats during the 2002-03 ...

Rutgers coach fired for losses not tantrums
A couple of weeks ago, the basketball coach at Rutgers University was fired because he never won more than six conference games in a season and became more trouble than he was worth. Of course, Rice was officially fired because he used several different "F" words in the direction of his players and threw basketballs at them after bad plays in ... [Read More…]
King Felix, superstar and role model
In a time when the sports world is is focused on jumping to big markets and snatching up all they can, Felix Hernandez is a breath of fresh air. Hernandez may be the best pitcher in baseball, but because he is stuck in sleepy old Seattle, only die hard fans know about his dominance. The Mariners have not been good for ten years, but every fifth ... [Read More…]
Michael Young no longer ‘Mr. Texas Ranger’
Thank you Michael Young for showing me what a selfless professional athlete looks like. It is sometimes hard to get a picture of that in this "show me the money now" sports world we live in. You may have heard, earlier this offseason, Young waived his no-trade clause and accepted a trade to the Philadelphia Phillies. He is expected to become their ... [Read More…]
Bonds should not be in bondage
It has been five years since one of the greatest hitters of all time retired from the San Francisco Giants, and he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Barry Bonds is the all-time leader in homeruns, and has a record seven MVP awards. That is more than Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle combined. Bonds is one of four players to ever earn 40 steals and ... [Read More…]
The NBA always carries plenty of parity
The NBA has always been known as a league with the least parody in American sports. As we saw in Oakland, any baseball team can make a run at the playoffs. Half of the teams that make the playoffs in football every year do not play in January the next year, and the L.A. Kings were a perfect example of Cinderella in hockey. But this year, the ...

Tiger is back
The last time it happened, we didn't know. We didn't know about the women, the affairs, the scandal. I remember watching the 2008 U.S. Open. I watched as the great Eldrick "Tiger" Woods, with two left leg fractures and a torn ACL in his left knee, beat Rocco Mediate in a playoff to win his 14th Major championship. Little did I know that four ... [Read More…]
