Based on an American-Statesman article:

The University of Texas got six more commitments after last weekends visits,
including the state's top linebacker who had previously committed to
Texas A&M.  Brian Johnson chose the Longhorns over the Aggies, Oklahoma,
Nebraska, and Colorado.

Meanwhile Tre Thomas, who had committed to Texas earlier, visited A&M.  But
after his visit, Thomas said, "Just in comparing A&M and Texas, Texas was
the best place for me."

To add to the Longhorns' momentum, Lewisville Marcus center Ryan Fiebiger
switched commitments from Colorado to Texas.  The 6-4, 255lb senior was
rated as one of the three best centers in the nation by Allen Wallace of
SuperPrep magazine.

Others who announced commitments to Texas were Corpus Christi Calallen
defensive lineman Colby Miller (6-5,245), Spring offensive lineman Bryon
Lloyd (6-4,270), Arlington Sam Houston tight end Steve Bradley, and Fort
Worth Wyatt running back Jerrod Coleman.

Meanwhile, Bishop Lynch offensive lineman David Davis has chosen Miami, after
earlier committing to A&M. Despite losing two of their top recruits,
the Aggies did pick up a committment from Rick linebacker Larry Walker.

It appears that the minor violations at A&M have caused some concern.

Watson Brown was Vanderbilt's head coach before Duh-Nardo took over
2 years ago. To add to a previous post - Brown held the positon of 
offensive coordinator at Miss. State.  As a UT alumnus, I had several
opportunities to see his teams in action.  IMHO Watson Brown has one 
of the best offensive minds in college football.

I guess that is all you Eagles fans have to look forward to until Jimmy Johnson
retires.  Every year that Dallas is in the Superbowl, you can sit home and root
for the other team.  Sounds like fun.  I guess that is what I would do too if
it looked like my team was going to be in the gutter for the next half century 
or so.  You are going to lose players to free agency (Who wants to play in
Philly?) and you have to play Dallas twice a year.  I hope you didn't intend to
win the NFC East anytime in the next twenty years or so, because I have bad
news for you.  Ain't gonna happen.  You are lucky you were able to get your
licks in on Dallas when JJ was rebuilding, because those days are over.  The
last two times they played, it was sheer physical domination by the Cowboys.  A
word of advice.  Get used to it.

From the early Sunday editions: 
Charley Hallman 
Knight-Ridder Newspapers
  There's no question who is the No. 1 high school football prospect in 
the country this year. Ron Powlus, quarterback and punter at Berwick, Pa.,
 is a collegiate coach's dream.
  "He's led us to three straight state championships," said his coach,
 George Curry. "He's got an arm like Dan Marino or Terry Bradshaw and 
the speed of Steve Young."
  Curry said the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Powlus is an honors student, has 
raised money for various charities and threw for more than 2,600 yards 
and 27 touchdowns last fall. His career totals are nearly 6,000 yards 
and 50 touchdowns.
  Powlus, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds, still isn't sure 
where he will attend college, although Penn State appears to be in the 
lead. A potential drawback appears to be the uncertainty over how long 
Joe Paterno will remain as the Nittany Lions' coach. Paterno is now
in his late 60s.
  ....
 (Royce "Rocket" Robertson of East Chicago, Ind,) is headed to the 
University of Wisconsin, where Coach Barry Alvarez is mopping up the 
talent pool for the second consecutive year. The Badgers landed another 
Parade All-America running back in Carl McCullough of Cretin-Derham Hall, 
who might be made into a wide receiver with the addition of Robertson. ...
  Michigan is leading the national sweepstakes in recruiting, with 
Notre Dame, Florida State, Stanford and Clemson rounding out the top five.
 ...
 As for Michigan, even school sports information director Bruce Majed is 
a bit mystified. "It seems like every day, Gary Moeller and his staff 
are getting another great player," Majed said. "If everyone lives up 
to their billing, we're going to have a tremendous team." ... 
Based on current commitments among Big 10 schools, Michigan is first, 
with Wisconsin second and Illinois third, followed by Ohio State and 
Penn State. The Big Ten seems to be making a comeback nationally, and 
each school seems to have several major prospects.

Opps, sorry, that's a tad misleading. That also includes the expenses
for the football team, if I recall correctly. The Flambeau didn't 
explicitly mention it in the latest article.

Yes, they did shell out for the travel (air) costs to Dallas, in addition
to the food and lodging and etc. And, yes, they where there for several
days, at least 4. I'd have to dig thru the archives for the original
article. 


Perhaps one of the other FSU posters and recent grads remember better 
than I do?

Guest list for bowl bash gets longer (Mark Nessmith and Scott Danahy)

FSU administrators took heavy criticism last year for footing the bill
for 270 guests to attend the Cotton Bowl, but information obtained 
Monday from the FSU athletict department suggests this year's bowl bash
was even bigger.

According to lists of athletic deparment and administration guests, 331
people where selected to attend the Federal Express Orange Bowl football
game and festivities with at least some of the coasts being covered by 
the school.

According to Susan Fell, FSU President Dale Lick's executive assistant,
hotel rooms where provided to guests as well as a $21 allowance per day.
The rooms cost $95 per day plus 13 percent tax. Guests where also given
$35 game tickets.

[end quote]
....................

Everyone from/associated with FSU who paid their own way should be pissed.
Especially since some of the invited included: the student body president,
the faculty senate president, the president of the Tallahassee Community
College, the president of the Florida senate, a Leon County commissioner,
FSU's general counsel, the FSU chief of police, the Tallahasee Democrat's
sports editor, and 10 people related to people working for the athletic
department.

Last year's price tag was $700,000. Let's see how high they go this
year. This would be almost funny, if the university wheren't hurting
for money.

This is a potentially absurd claim. Are you saying definitively that no

Hi,

I'm looking for football coaching related software that would allow a coach
to diagram plays, run them, capture information and statistics, print reports,
etc... More or less a coaching tool.  Does anyone have any information on
products of this sort, either commercial or sharware?

Are there any other groups where I might be more likely to find this kind

Either E-mail or post responses.  Thanks!

You better believe it!  Actually, that little orange cow on the license
plates is technically illegal.  It is a sticker placed on there by the
owner of the vehicle (or a vandal, depending on your viewpoint).  The
license plates don't actually come that way, although many people 
"deface" them in this manner. :)  I had a friend at school who was stopped
by a law enforcement official for having a Double T (the symbol for Texas
Tech) on her license plate.  Funny how that gets prosecuted, but the 
head of a dead cow doesn't.  Actually, she didn't get a ticket for that
(she got one for speeding), but she was informed that the sticker was
illegal.

On a side note, Texas has had the availability for people to buy a 
personalized-type plate with their alma matter's symbol on it for a
couple of years now.  They cost about $30 more than the normal plate,
but that $30 goes to the school's general scholarship fund.  It's a pretty
cool way to raise some money for the schools, IMHO.  I think I'll get
one with a Double T on it after I buy my new Lexus to give the car a 
little bit of class :)

	Blue & Gold Illustrated (an ND magazine) also reports that Powlus now
seems to be leaning towards Pitt. They cite his friend going there, the closeness of Pitt to his hometown, the arrival of Johnny Majors, and his HS coach ravingabout the new Pitt QB coach Ken Karcher, who actually enrolled at ND (ironic, eh?). Being an ND alum I think that he would be nuts to choose Pitt over ND. Look
at Alex Van Pelt. He threw for about 3 zillion yards in his career but I don't 
think that the team won more than 5 games a year while he was there. And in the
games against ND he got plastered pretty well.  I realize that I am biased, and
it is difficult know what goes into an 18-year olds decision process, but I 
would think he would be better off at ND than Pitt. Hell, he would be better offat Miami than Pitt (and you know how it hurts me to say that!!). We'll find out
Saturday.
