I could spend a lot of time in the next few paragraphs giving excuses/reasons/explanations as to why I haven't posted an entry to the blog since last October. But that would only be a waste of time so let's just jump right back in...
A lot has happened here at ETBU since I last went online here on the blog. Most recently, we can start with today being the first day of the Dub Oliver administration here at ETBU. Dr. Oliver comes to ETBU from Baylor and the anticipation of his arrival has finally culminated with him actually being here as the 12th President of our university. Welcome aboard, Dub! You're officially a Tiger now, and we all know a Tiger can take out a Bear any day...
A few weeks late but here's my official congratulations and thanks to the 2009 Lady Tiger softball team. What a fun ride this past spring was! ETBU came from out of nowhere to jump to the top of the ASC East Division again, and the Lady Tigers are poised to stay there for awhile with back-to-back stellar recruiting classes. From what I've seen and heard regarding next year's class, it could be even deeper and talented once again, so the Lady Tigers should be even more of a factor again next spring...
The Tiger football team -- or at least 13 members of the group -- had an interesting weekend overseas. What started out as a scheduled week-long stay in London to do construction and mission work for The Elam Institute turned into something only Hollywood could imagine. Apparently the British government wasn't too keen on a small group of college football players entering the country, and the Brits' immigration department saw it as an opportunity to flex its muscle and detain our contingent at Heathrow Airport. The Tiger players and coaches are safely back home now but have an experience to talk about for the rest of their lives. Read more about their adventures across the pond on Coach Sartain's blog at http://www.tigersinlondon.blogspot.com/.
Lots more to talk about as the summer progresses, but I'll try to stay up to date with the news -- and the blog, for that matter.
Tigers Roar! DW
