No, I meant it was annoying that no one would just come out and say the name.

Good coach. I remember when he had very good teams at NAIA Texas Lutheran.

Bryan Bunn ... hummm not so sure about this call but it is really close though

Over 560 wins between the 2 Baylor coaches as head coaches. The program is on an upswing so it will be interesting to see if Baylor can continue to move up in the Big 12 and the nation. The conference as a whole is getting stronger it appears with the new coaches in the league improving their teams. Do teams post their Spring schedules? It would nice to see some teams play then and then watch again in the Fall to see how they progress.

Hey Thanks db!!
Sounds like an outstanding tournament, especially for Spring. I assume that's the Texas Tornado's website. I will check it out.

[db]

Sure thing - it's www.TexasTornados.org - go to tournaments

It's the 2nd year for the spring college tourney and I heard the one last year was very well received. This year they're holding it in conjunction with a "team cup" with the top texas clubs competing for an overall type award. Definitely sounds like a win-win setup to me.

By the way, I'm not associated with Tornados.
