WBB: American Southwest Conference

Pat Coleman · March 09, 2008, 06:46:11 PM

In the NCAA Tournament you have to count tickets sold. I am not sure last year's reported attendance vs. Chapman met that criterion, which is why we didn't report it as a record, for example.

2,613 at the game last night? Something is really wrong. I was guessing around 3,800. It wasn't as large as the Chapman game last year, but it was larger than the McMurry and Hardin Simmons games of this year. I'm guessing they meant 3,613. If it was 2,613, then the coliseum only holds around 2,800 - 2,900, which I know it doesn't.

Friendly folks of Texas...I am the DeSales SID (as my handle says).

I will be traveling with the team this weekend for our game on Friday at HPU. Looking forward to see this facility. It looks pretty sweet on the HPU web site. We are excited about the trip, from reading the last few pages about the weekend's games it seems as though the atmosphere will be a great one for our team.

What should I be expecting?

While I have your ear. Anyone play golf on here and know of some quality courses in the area that I might be able to play if I think I will have the time to do so. I don't mind paying an extra dollar or two to play a quality course.

Thanks in advance

I don't know if this helps you out any but here are 3 courses in the area. You would have to get a member of the Brownwood Country Club to take you if you wanted to go there but I'm sure if you talk to HPU's SID or Athletic Director they may know someone that could take you. The other two are public courses but are 9 hole courses. Feather Bay is out at Lake Brownwood and it's a beautiful area out there.

I hope you enjoy your stay in Brownwood, although as an HPU fan I hope it's not too enjoyable from a basketball view

DBalla,

Thanks a ton for the link. I found Brownwood CC tonight but figured the public was not allowed...maybe the HPU SID or AD would be able to hook me up...that'd be cool. I am sure I will talk with the SID tomorrow.

Another quick question...I am guessing that Dallas/San Antonio are not really within driving distance to go play a round of golf. Would I be correct in that assumption?

I certainly can understand, as an HPU fan, you hoping we don't enjoy our stay too much. It appears by many accounts that you guys have quite a team. I am looking forward to seeing HPU, as well as George Fox and Hope, play this weekend. Its an exciting time of the year for all Division III hoop fans.

Anyone else with any golf help/advice...feel free to chime in. Maybe a Brownwood CC member looking for some company who is reading the board. I am available to play,

. Being stuck in the 40 degree temps and soggy conditions here in PA, a round of golf would be a great 4-5 hours of mental health for me.

Thanks.

McMurry fans call us what you like one thing is for sure we are still playing and that is what its all about. I hope you had enough TP to use for whatever you needed it for. The chants your student section were uncalled for, but alls they were doing was adding fuel to the fire and at the end of that game that section was very quiet and not talking LIB I mean LIP. Now, on to better things it is awesome that the sectionals are going to be in Brownwood! Very much deserving and looking forward to playing DeSalles,it should be a great matchup.

San Saba which is about a 45 minutes drive from Brownwood has a great public course. Very tough to play or at least it was for me.

Sounds like a brother in need. He'll take a golfing fix. Maybe he could learn to "pitch and run".

I haven't played Brownwood CC in 40 years. Dad and I had a friend in Santa Anna who took us as his guest. Lots of fun memories!

Wish my dad were here to hear the game. He would have loved the internet for sporting events!

Seriously, HPU! Best wishes and we need a Walnut and Bronze! If we got beat four times this year, I want it to the National Champion!

Congratulations to Meia Daniels on the 2000th point of her career!

How about 4 more games to catch Tarra!

Wow! We have had greatness among us!

Pat Coleman · March 10, 2008, 02:13:40 AM

Richardson ended with 2,194. Daniels is at ... I guess 2,023 if I do the math. But 2 a.m. math isn't the best.

43 points per game on the way to the Walnut and Bronze would be something!

You're right both of those places would be too far to drive for golf if you were wanting to be able to make it back for the games.

As far as the weather as of this morning it's forecasted for sunny and in the upper 70's and 80's for the weekend. It should be very nice golfing weather if you're able to make it to a course

Of course here in Texas that's subject to change every time somebody sneezes.

Chicken or the egg...is the weather changing every time someone sneezes or is someone sneezing because the wind just blew in a different type of pollen?

UMMM i choose egg! And everyone knows the weather changes because of convection: i.e. the warming of air near the surface of the earth so that it rises and is replaced by cooler air from above. 8)

(ok, so i googled that!

I don't even know if its true. LOL)
