It seems that Shani is starting to tick off some of his teammates. AP News Story

Brevity is the soul of wit (Shakespeare). That sounds closer to a Christian philosophy than a Wotansvolk philosophy.

Really, Shogun. Henry Dunant was also one of the founders of the YMCA, another Christian organization, and a devout Protestant.

The point was made that religion (particularly Christianity) served no purpose in modern society. I was not bragging, I was just pointing out some of the good things that Christians do for the benefit of society. You pointed out the Red Crescent and Sinai hospital and those are also religious...

I have refrained from jumping into these religious debates in the past, but I cannot let this go. Do either of you believe there is anything good about Christianity? What about the hundreds of hospitals in the U.S. that were started and are funded by Christian organizations? Or the hundreds...

Roger is a really talented junior WR from the Houston area who is getting some looks from some big Div.1 schools. He is 5-11, 178 lbs, ran a 4.38 40 yd at the Texas A&M camp and has a 37 inch vertical. Right now A&M and Notre Dame are leading the recruiting race. Since he plays on a run happy...

Along with the other hyped U.S. skiers, Bloom disappointed today finishing the moguls competition in 6th place. Toby Dawson was the only American in the medals with a bronze. Onward to the NFL, let's hope he has a more successful combine result.Edited by: SteveB

SK, you paint a very rosy picture of Japanese manufacturing which is not 100% accurate. True, the Japanese did invest heavily in automation during the 1980's and 1990's but because the return on investment never materialized, it crippled Japanese manufacturing and caused a collapse of their...

Good stuff Don. The Superstars competition has been mentioned a couple of times here. He not only beat those guys, but smoked them. He ran the 100 yd in 9.4 sec and I think Green was second at around 9.6 sec. That is near world class sprinter speed for a guy that has probably never seriously...

I have never thrown the shot either, but I have watched Olympian shot putters Randy Barnes and Mike Stulce in the weight room and seen their routines. Those guys focused all of their weight training on power clean lifts, power overhead lifts (military press while using your legs), and squats...

Since Trey is making a comeback and causing a stir in the indoor season, I thought that I would bring back an old thread that I started on him.

Trey has to be around 23 as this is his 5th year of college eligibility. I hope he can stay in the sport after this last season at Texas.

The NFL Combine is coming up in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good web source for combine statistics (40 time, vertical, etc)?

Dang, 10.62 sec 100m as a sophmore in high school.

These exit exams are a joke. The ones in Texas are basically 9th or 10th grade level material. If a kid can't pass, they're stupid and don't deserve a diploma.

With Rice recruiting three of Luna's teammates from Southlake Carroll this year for football, maybe they can talk him and the coaches into playing a little RB for the football team. Wouldn't that be something.

He is only a freshman, but another speedy college player to keep your eye on is Aaron Luna from Rice. He has been doing very well so far this year. He was a running back at Southlake Carroll high and ran a 4.38 sec 40 at one of the Nike Camps. Edited by: SteveB

Dang, I thought that Trey gave up track. He was awesome in high school, ran a 10.32 100m. Then he went to SMU on a football scholarship and sat the bench for 4 years. Way to go Trey!

Wow, great site rice! Here are some excerpts: http://www.johntreed.com/matsdad.html (Note: This is from a former high school coach talking about his son's recruiting experience.) Central casting One of the rookie youth coach mistakes I warn against is what I call "central casting."...

Good stuff guys! Rice1817, I am not sure at what level you coach, but since you are in the business, you must be aware of what is going on in high school football. I am going to speak only of what I see in Texas, but I'm pretty sure the trend is nationwide. Here, the most dominant 5A (largest...

I was watching the Discover Times Channel last night and they had a special about women in Saudia Arabia. It was pretty interesting. Based on what I saw, there is a big cultural battle in Saudia Arabia. The young people there are becoming very westernized, speaking perfect English, listening...

Welcome to the board rice1817. Good try, but your reasoning is like telling a black kid his only future is playing sports, so he shouldn't dream of becoming an astronaut because there is too much competition from white kids. I walked-on as a DB at Texas A&M in the late 1980's and studied...

Here's a tidbit I heard from the Super Bowl. Al Michaels announced that the Super Bowl was being watched by 1 million U.S. troops overseas in over 70 countries. Well let's see, we have 150,000 in Iraq and 25,000 in Afghanistan, that leaves 825,000 in over 68 countries! Why do we have that...

I think that Alaskan drilling is something that we need to do (in addition to the oil, it could help payoff some of the debt), but it is on a band-aid on the problem. What is needed is a national effort to totally change our economy from oil based to other energy sources. Much like when JFK...

The only reason we even deal with these people is because of their oil reserves. We should find alternatives to Middle East oil and FAST. Whether it is developing new technogy or developing other oil reserves or a combiniation of both, we need to quit messing around. Since they have no other...
