Can't anything be done about calling these guys student athletes? That's like referring to Attila the Hun's cavalry as "weekend warriors"

I'm really excited, and our coaches are really excited about this weekend and what can happen. We want our athletes to be excited, too, and to really enjoy this experience.

We planned on stopping (subscriptions) on the Monday after opening weekend, ... But we shut it off on Aug. 23. We are at 62 percent. That's insane - it's unheard of for us.

I would say there are several players coming off of last weekend that should be feeling confident. Confidence is a choice, and that's a matter of being able to block the distractions. Everybody has a poor performance. The better athletes know where to place that, learn from it and move on.

In the Lubbock Tournament (last weekend) we got a lot more consistent but we still made some mistakes. We've finally started swinging the bats and that's the best thing we saw.

I squirm when I see athletes praying before a game. Don't they realize that if God took sports seriously he never would have created George Steinbrenner.
