Texan, Eric Wallace on faith, family, texas, and more where that came from.
With 5:28 left in the game, the Mavericks trail 99-75. Dirk Nowitzki has a whopping 6 points. Ouch, what an embarrassing way to end one of the best regular seasons ever. A 67 win team bows out to a number 8 seed, Golden State and your MVP candidate barely even shows up.
Cuban must be dying inside. How many heads will roll after this game?
UPDATE: Final score Golden State Warriors 111 - Dallas Mavericks 86. Don Nelson will be celebrating all summer long in Hawaii.
Bayor University just can’t catch a break.
Looks like there is something seriously wrong in Waco.
From HoustonChronicle.com:
The Houston Rockets cashed in on their international appeal when sources close to the team confirmed Wednesday that Toyota Motor Corp. will buy the naming rights of Houston’s new downtown arena.
Houston is the international city in Texas and this looks like a great deal for the city and the Rockets. Yao Ming could lead the Rockets to the promised land sooner than Les Alexander could have ever imagined. Let’s just hope he’s healthy.
By the way, how did I miss this new logo? Why change again? Oh right, new stadium, new logo (Rangers, Astros, Mavericks). The Stars and Spurs did not change their looks however. Let’s just hope Jerry doesn’t get any ideas!
Having not seen the Update, I am reading the news headlines on the web tonight. On DallasNews.com I learned that Carlton Dotson has confessed to killing Patrick Dennehy.
A quick trip to HoustonChronicle.com finds the AP story Police: Ex-Baylor basketball player charged with murder. No mention of a confession.
Next stop, Waco Tribune-Herald. The site has not been updated to reflect any news of the day on the story.
Then I headed to over to Austin’s Statesman.com. The site has roughly the same AP article as HoustonChronicle.com, but adds this insightful paragraph:
As he left the court commissioner’s office Monday night, Dotson told a reporter: “I didn’t confess to anything. Call the FBI.” Shortly after his arrest, Dotson had referred all questions to his lawyer.
A look at the nation media shows Matt Drudge linking to the same AP story via WashingtonPost.com. ESPN and FoxNews.com also report the similar stories.
So what is going on here? What do Lee Hancock and Matt Mosley at The Dallas Morning News know that no one else seems to know? Sure the “authorities” are reporting a confession, but shouldn’t his public claim denying a confession stand as the story. Is the affidavit the basis of his confession? Will DallasNews.com pull the headline when no one else is reporting the same story?
Update: DallasNews.com has updated the headline and story on Carlton Dotson. Waco police are now listed as the source for the confession line and while the paper acknowledges Dotson’s denial of a confession. The article has the following header as I type the update at 1:33AM: Last modified: 01:03 AM CDT on Tuesday, July 22, 2003
We are still here! It has been almost two weeks without any updates here at the texas blog. Between a massive garage sale, a massive house painting project, and trip to Houston, we just have not had time to update the site. We have missed out on a number of things over the course of the past two weeks:
