The Wildcats needed to find someone with a link to ACU, someone who could bring a unique offensive vision and be a great recruiter. He found all three in Chris Thomsen, a former ACU all-America at tight end and Wildcat assistant coach, who was hired Jan. 24, 2005, as the 18th head coach in Wildcat football history. Thomsen is in his sixth season as the Wildcats’ head coach, and to say it’s been a successful four-year run would be a mild understatement. From a 4-6 debut season in 2005, Thomsen has led the Wildcats to a combined 38-11 on-field record in the last three seasons with four straight trips to the NCAA Division II national playoffs. Last year the Wildcats reached the NCAA Division II playoffs for the fourth straight year, finishing 9-4. ACU began the season 7-0 and reached No. 1 in the AFCA national poll after its 38-14 win over Angelo State on Oct. 10. After a late-season slump, the Wildcats rallied to beat Midwestern State on the road in the first round of the playoffs before seeing their season come to an end with a 35-10 loss to eventual national champion Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, Mo. In 2008, the Wildcats won their first Lone Star Conference championship since THE THOMSEN FILE sharing the crown in 1977 and first outright league title since 1973. Born: Nov. 7, 1968 The 2008 Wildcats also became only the second team in the program’s 88-year history to finish unbeaten in the regular season (10-0, joining the 1950 team on the Hometown: Vernon short list), and they also recorded at least 10 wins in back-to-back seasons for the first Wife: LeAnn time in program history.

INTRODUCTION 1. The Commission has before it for consideration: (i) license renewal applications from the above-listed radio stations in Texas; (ii) a timely filed Petition to Deny by the Texas State Conference of Branches of the NAACP and its various local, branches (collectively "NAACP") against the license renewal KGNC-FM©s call sign was changed from KMLT(FM) effective November 2, 1992. 879 applications of the above-listed radio stations; p (iii) oppositions filed by the licensees; and (iv) the licensees© responses to staff letters of inquiry. II. BACKGROUND 2. NAACP alleges that the challenged stations violated our Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Rule and policies.

The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while intending to be recognized as the premier NCAA Division II conference in the nation. The league’s mission is to foster student participation and success among member institutions in NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC shall pursue student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, graduation success, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity. The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has developed from a five-team conference of Texas- based schools to a 19-member league that spans four states (Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas). The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. Throughout the league’s 88-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC banner.

  • Friday Night Lights Chapter Questions
    Mr. Blaber English Friday Night Lights Reading Response Questions Preface pp. xi-xiv 1. What nagging impulses compel author H.G. Bissinger to want to write about high school football? 2. Of all the towns in America, why does Bissinger decide to go to Odessa, Texas? 3. As Bissinger describes the drive into town from the outskirts to downtown, what sort of details does he mention? What do these details tell the reader about the kind of town Odessa has become? 4. How does his description of the Permian Panthers’ football stadium contrast with the way he characterizes the rest of the town? 5. Bissinger sees his year in Odessa as a chance to learn not just about high school football, but also about other aspects of small-town American life. What other questions is he interested in finding answers to in Odessa? 6. How does Bissinger go about researching his subjects? 7. Bissinger says he found positive and negative consequences to Odessa’s football- crazy culture. What were the positives and what were the negatives? Prologue pp. 1-20 1. To gain the reader’s interest, Bissinger prefaces the story with a scene from the middle of the season. In this way, he begins in media res, or “in the middle of things” (just like Homer in the Odyssey). He starts with his focus on running back Boobie Miles, who expected to star at running back for Permian before a knee injury sidelined him for most of his senior season. In his first paragraph, Bissinger uses a racial epithet to characterize the way Boobie feels he is perceived.
