WBB: American Southwest Conference

[dballa]

Is it 5:30 yet??? this day is going to drag on and on.  Should be a lot of fun tonight.  If you can't make it there check out the McMurry website or HPU website for links to listen to the game. 

Any fans with kids in grade school in Brown County, your kids will get in free tonight as well as to the games on Saturday against HSU.

GO LADY JACKETS!!

A nice article about the McM women in today's Abilene Reporter-News.  Hopefully the pre-game publicity won't jinx the team, like teams getting on the cover of Sports Illustrated and then crashing.  The article is online at

I don't know about that because last night on one of the local stations  had Coach K and Heather Hohertz on their sports cast talking about the game, so everybody got a little publicity. 4 hours till tip off, yes dballa, it's been a slow day.....
