You know how it goes by now: the big build-up, followed by that huge let-down.
At least I'm consistent...
Kind of depressed? You may want to skip the vid.
Wake - work - drink - sleep - retire...
Lyrics here.
Aggie diver suspended! No, it's not what you think. Funny, actually. Ever see a diver hoisted up in the harness, only to have the rope tied to the rail? They let her down a few minutes later.
Speaking of Aggie diving, the timing of this next item is pretty danged suspect if you asked me. You did ask, didn't you?
Last week, The Battalion posted an update on former A&M diving coach Kevin Wright's lawsuit. Read it here.
Regardless (or "irregardless" if you want to irritate your English-teacher friends) of the case Wright may (or may not) have, it's the timing that bothers me most.
The Aggie women are coming off a great Big XII meet and are prepping for the NCAA's. They don't need this sort of distraction and it's surprising that this kind of thing would come from their own campus newspaper.
Kind of reminds me of the way they timed the campaign against Skip Kenney out in Stanford a few years back - just in time for NCAA's. Steve Bultman's done a fantastic job in College Station and this certainly can wait until the season's completed.
After he fed The Battalion just what he wanted to see printed, you know what Wright's lawyer followed up with, right?
Joe Crews, Wright’s attorney, said only that Wright would not be “litigating this case publicly.”
Back to the Big XII meet for a second. Ask one of the Longhorn gals how that return bus trip went. Sounded memorable!

Wondering about the latest on the Bay City pool renovation? You've just been on pins-n-needles, haven't you? Latest promise to Coach Terri (she was Junior's 6 & under coach a few years - make that a lot of years - back) is that they'll be under a roof by the time the season starts this fall. Start holding your breath..............now! Seriously, they need to follow through with those promises they made...five years ago!
Did you read about Matt Biondi's pool record?
If you asked "Matt who?", you're too danged young to be up this late, bambino!!
Now, where was I? Oh yeah, Biondi. Read the Austin American-Statesman article (via GWG) about the 100 free pool record here.
Income tax is overdue, and I think she is too...
Lyrics here.
Toyota speeding out of control? Turn the danged key to "off"!!! I gotta do all the thinkin' 'round here???
'66 Chevy's had motor mount issues. Okay, it wasn't just an "issue" - the motor mounts broke easily, giving your V-8 free rein to jump up into the hood! Got recalled after all was said and done. Unfortunately, many people didn't bother to take them in and get the extra safety cables installed.
Seems when you put your foot into that four barrel carb, the whole engine would rotate (if motor mounts had finally failed) and linkage would then be stuck - wide open! Had an exciting little ride in my old Impala (327) back in '77. No, that's not what scarred me for life. Leon took a screamin' trip in his Bel Air (283) a few years back. You'll have to ask him if he has nightmares...
Ready for a surprise? Don't look here, then. You didn't have to be NostraButton to predict the gals at Delaware State would sue when equestrian was dropped...
Eric McErlain over at Saving Sports looked into the Point Loma situation and has a great post here. Softball players led a protest. The field they use is being dismantled in a "back-to-nature" move by the city.
Some carried signs that said “Title IX sucks” and “Save our sports.” Others said federal gender equity regulations “backfired” on them and called it “reverse discrimination” against male sports."
So, the Point Loma Nazarene University softball team - an NAIA powerhouse - is being dropped because of the environmental-wacko-Title IX-radical crowd. Nice going, folks...
Congrats to 500 free 3A state champ Grant Koudelka of Gilmer. Okay, he was second at the 4A meet. Grant swims for Clark Wilson at Champion. Read more here.
