For The Kids
Mardrick Johnson and I spoke to Prescott Elementary this morning while they were visiting the TAMUK campus. We spoke about the importance of school, what it's like being a college football player, handling pure pressure, and answered all their questions about college.

Javelinas Possibly Playing at Jerrys World
The Lone Star Conference will know in a week whether several of its football teams — likely including Texas A&M-Kingsville — will take part in a festival of games next season at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
The presidents of the 11 universities that will comprise the LSC beginning next season will meet with LSC commissioner Stan Wagnon in a conference call to discuss the proposed ballgames next Thursday morning, Wagnon said.
With the realignment of the LSC thanks to the departure of five Oklahoma schools, the conference has been trying to secure non-conference matchups, originally with schools from the Gulf South Conference. Wagnon and Gulf South commissioner Nate Salant have been discussing the situation since October, shortly after the five Oklahoma schools announced they would be leaving the LSC.
“Basically what I can tell you is that I started working on a couple of possibilities with the Gulf South Conference commissioner, trying to figure out some ways to play games against each other and through that process started talking with the Dallas Cowboys about the possibility of playing some football games at their stadium,” said Wagnon, who was en route Thursday to Topeka, Kan., for Saturday’s Lower Kanza Bowl pitting Midwestern State of the LSC against Washburn (Kan.) of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Conference.
“But this thing has evolved quite a bit from my first conversations with the Gulf South commissioner,” Wagnon said. “What we’ve proposed to our presidents has changed quite a bit from what it started out. What’s being proposed is more of a Lone Star Conference event rather than a joint venture between the two.”

All Region Javelinas
The Texas A&M-Kingsville football team had four defensive players named to the 2010 All-Super Region 4 Football Team on Wednesday. Tressor Baptiste (New York, NY/Curtis HS) earned first team honors while DeIra Glover (Hempstead/Hempstead HS), Corey Robertson (Denison/Denison HS) and Johnny Tivao (Compton, CA/Paramount HS) each earned second team honors.
Baptiste backed up his Lone Star Conference South Division Linebacker of the Year Award by grabbing first team all-region honors. He led the Javelinas with 40 solo tackles, eight tackles for loss and three forced fumbles. He accumulated 66 tackles on the season and spearheaded a defensive unit that is first in the nation in rushing defense allowing a school record 57.0 yards per game. He was a key part of a defense that led the LSC in six different statistical categories.
Glover, a strong safety, and Robertson, a free safety, are each three year starters who earned LSC South First Team honors this year. Glover had 67 tackles, two tackles for loss and two interceptions while Robertson had 59 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, six pass breakups and a fumble return for a touchdown.
Tivao is a run-stuffing defensive tackle who was also a first team all-conference performer. He tallied 23 tackles while going against double and triple teams each game.
Baptiste advances to the Daktronics All-America ballot. The team, which is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems, is voted on by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Player Update
With this week off most of the players are catching up on their rest and school work. When they're not doing that we find them in the weight room lifting weights or in the Rec Center playing basketball.
Recruiting Season
Some coaches have already left to hit the Texas recruiting trail. While the other coaches are watching the hundreds of DVDs that have been sent to the football office. We watch every single DVD and highlight tape that we receive.
Alvarado's Advice
Don't look too far ahead or you'll get overwhelmed. Just do the next apparent thing. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. You'll get through this. And when you do, you'll feel great! ~BJ Gallagher
