It´s nothing more than a mere coincidence that the Temple College volleyball team´s quest for a national championship begins at 3 p.m. today.
But it is rather strange that the third time coach Mary Reese has led her Lady Leopards to the NJCAA Division I National Tournament, they will begin with a match against Blinn College, a team TC will play for the third time this year.
ARLINGTON - Jerry Jones envisions thousands of college students and fans filling the three-acre plazas at each end of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, having a good time and creating home-court environments for their teams.
“This is going to be the largest-attended basketball game in the history of this sport,” the Dallas Cowboys owner said Wednesday after the stadium was awarded the 2014 NCAA men´s basketball Final Four. “That´s neat.”
HOUSTON - The way Jason Terry was shooting, the Dallas Mavericks hardly needed Josh Howard on Wednesday night. The Houston Rockets, meanwhile, sorely missed Yao Ming.
Terry scored 31 points and Dirk Nowitzki added 24 points and 12 rebounds in the Mavs´ 96-86 victory over the Rockets.
AUSTIN - Texas football coach Mack Brown insists the elevation of first-year defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to head coach-in-waiting doesn´t start the tick-tock on the countdown to his retirement.
Actually, it does. Not because fans are pushing him out the door, but because any time Muschamp´s name is mentioned, it will be followed by “you know, the guy who´s been promised Mack Brown´s job when he leaves.”
CORSICANA - The Temple College men´s basketball team made a valiant charge in the final five minutes at Navarro on Wednesday night, slicing an 11-point deficit to one with 1˝ minutes remaining and giving the Leopards an opportunity to avenge a 105-95 home loss to the Bulldogs two weeks earlier.
However, the Leopards couldn´t quite overcome the poor free-throw shooting that contributed to putting them in that large hole to begin with.

Copperas Cove (10-1) vs. Garland Naaman Forest (9-2), 7:30 p.m. Friday, Waco ISD Stadium
NORMAN, Okla. - To compare Bob Stoops and Mike Leach at first seems like a study in opposites.
One is the son of a football coach, built his reputation on a stingy, aggressive defense and puts forth a straight-laced persona that rarely cracks.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards opened the 2008 season intent on knocking Jimmie Johnson from the top of NASCAR.
They chased him all year, but they never quite caught him.
ARLINGTON - The NFL is giving Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones another chance.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the suspended cornerback has been reinstated by league commissioner Roger Goodell, but he must miss two more games - this Sunday and the following game on Thanksgiving. He´ll be back Dec. 7 at Pittsburgh.
