Sunday Blog Casserole

Always wondered where Bay City's old Maxiflex B ended up (thanks Kast-A-Way):



YMCA of the Coastal Bend needs a pool manager. Job info is here.



Drink all sixteen ounces of that eight dollar theater soda before the previews even ended? Worried about missing something important in the feature? RunPee is for you.



What if...those of us funding the federal Spend-A-Thon...stopped paying our taxes?





Garrett Weber-Gale posted a good piece on communication the other day. It's got some serious items along with a little humor. Read it here.



They say he ate less than an hour ago...





Taking the "wo" out of Women's Studies? Read more here.



Trinity needs an assistant coach. Job info is here.






They were fine with Title IX compliance...until they found out what it's going to cost them! Read more here.



Next time they try telling you football and basketball are revenue sports, tell 'em this:



For every football or basketball program you can name that brings in more than it spends, I can name at least ten that don't!! Read more here.



It works at Ohio State and Texas. It doesn't at New Mexico State, Florida International and most everywhere else. Even when football teams are winning national championships, there are only a handful of athletic departments making money. The average Division I department lost $5.7 million in 2007, at least a year before the economy became an issue. That was up from an average $4.1 million loss in 2004.


ISU tennis is getting plenty of coverage - now that it's been dropped. Read more here. This A.D. should go on Leno...I mean Conan. Such a joker:


Prettyman realizes the preservation of the football program will draw criticism until its track record of futility is reversed. He hired former Sycamore Trent Miles as coach prior to last season, hoping to end the losing. Even though 2008 resulted in another winless record, on-field progress flickered in the latter half of the season, Prettyman pointed out.


Flickered? Like just before a candle goes out?


That's right, Ron, being outscored 229 - 61 in those final six losses showed boosters there's a light at the end of that tunnel. Hold on a minute...I think I hear a freight train...


For the record, I'm not advocating dropping football at ISU. I do wish they'd bring back men's and women's swimming, though.


More about suits on Swimming World here and at ASCA here.


Wrap-up of the Great Travis Trek is here. The six-member relay team covered 54 miles in 18:35.




Meet info for Senior Circuit #3 is here.



New Braunfels meet has been cancelled. Bud was unable to find a referee in time to make the sanctioning paperwork deadline. It's a danged shame!

I think the SUNDAY CASSEROLE is great, needs to be a regular feature. Sort of makes up for you being a lazy ass the last three days, lol!

(Deerslayer made me say that, you know I think the WORLD of you!)

Hey, don't drag me into this. I agree the Sunday casserole is a fun read, and does make up for the lackage of days late in the week. School is almost over and we are raising the bar with expectations of things in the blog.

(TLK suggested I put that last part in.)

I am not happy about the Schiterbaun Meet being cancelled. We have been the past 5 years and have really enjoyed it. South Texas has a strong history of not supporting their own LSC meets. Down there it's all about how things effect ME. Screw everybody else. That is a real shame, Bud is a good guy.

If it ain't a aaaa meet don't ref it - paraphrase from the colonel. Why do you think there are hardly and teams in SA - forced out or forced into AAAA. It is how you keep things under control. BTW nice jobs NISD boys at state - oops there weren't any but you have a new outdoor olympic pool being built to host those summer nationals in SA in 100 degrees. all Right!
