Sports New Year's resolutions for ... (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/Sports_New_Years_resolutions_for_.html)
Express-News
Everybody makes them, so why should the sports world be any different? Express-News beat writers weigh in with their thoughts for 2009:
... for the Aggies
From Brent Zwerneman: To see coach Mike Sherman being so focused on recruiting — and boosting the Aggies’ sagging football talent — that when someone mentions “Auld Lang Syne,” he asks, “What’s his 40 time” And to the Aggies someday playing again on New Year’s Day — or simply playing again this time of year.
... for boxing
From John Whisler: To watch Oscar Diaz walk out of University Hospital. For the local boxing community, nothing could ever top that.
... for college football
From Mike Finger: To come up with a more sensible way to crown its national champion, incorporating the Electoral College and “Dancing with the Stars” into the formula. Leaders of the Big 12 can’t come up with their own resolution, so they let the BCS do it for them.
... for the Cowboys
From Tom Orsborn: To stop all their back-stabbing, finger-pointing and whining and try not to laugh when Wade Phillips gives them an order and follows it with, “Gosh darn it, guys, I really mean it this time!” Phillips also resolves to mow Jerry Jones’ lawn twice a week instead of once.
... for golf
From Richard Oliver: To Valero Texas Open officials, who should resolve to remain professional and not giggle like schoolgirls with a crush when Tiger Woods, wanting to test his surgically repaired knee, elects to play the event in its new May dates at torturous La Cantera. And beats Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Vijay Singh in a three-hole playoff — on prime-time national TV.
... for high schools
From Dan McCarney: To quit opening new high schools and watering down the quality of San Antonio’s athletic programs. Obviously, academics come first, second and third, so we recognize the importance of keeping up with the growth. But it’s been tough watching the competition take a dip in recent years, making it tougher to hang with the powerhouses from Dallas and Houston.
... for the Longhorns
From Natalie England: To say goodbye to sportsmanship. Colt McCoy played beyond the first series of the fourth quarter in just three games. OU’s Sam Bradford can’t say the same, and who’s landing in Miami next week
... for the Spurs
From Jeff McDonald: To stop scheduling games so darn late, so their more senior members can get home in time to watch “Matlock.” Gregg Popovich resolves to apologize for teaching all of Argentina the wrong definition of the English word “perpetuity.”
