Javelina Hash By Fred Nuesch, Coordinator of Athletic External Affairs SOME OF THE Javelina fans may not be familiar with the eight new schools entering the Lone Star Conference this season. Up front, there are some NCAA Division II powers coming into the league. They will strengthen the conference and it will be more difficult to win LSC championships than in the past. An example is Lubbock Christian. Since becoming NCAA Division II in 2012, the Chaps have a 206-106 record in baseball, are 107-64 in men’s basketball, have a 163-26 record in women’s basketball and have won two Division II national championships, are 229-92 in softball and have a 103-64 record in volleyball. Texas-Tyler has been a power in NCAA Division III and is now transitioning into Division II. The Patriots are expected to factor into the LSC title chases beginning this year. And the other newcomers have programs that will allow them to become immediate contenders in the LSC. Celebration The Lone Star Conference is not only the largest league in Attending a birthday celebration for Jim Kirkpatrick, center, were, left to right, Javelina alum Jim Sutton, Javelina head football coach Daren Wilkinson, Kirkpatrick, former Javelina football player Dan Sutton and the country, but is also expected to strengthen its claim as being Kleberg County Sheriff Richard Kirkpatrick, son of the honoree.

Kirkpatrick is a former student employee in the Javelina sports information office. OKLAHOMA CHRISTIAN WILL be the only Lone Star Conference member without a volleyball team this season. But that will be for the 2019 season only. The school announced in 2018 that it is reviving its volleyball program and will begin competing in the league in 2020. A coach has been hired and has begun recruiting for its The Javelina Highlights, debut in 2020.

Induction into the College Football Hall of Fame represents the pinnacle of achievement in our sport, and the Hall of Fame serves as the centerpiece of the NFF’s efforts to inspire future generations to greatness. We are proud to solicit your vote as part of the selection process. Your passion and insights play an important role in helping us determine who will join this elite fraternity, and we truly appreciate your participation in this revered tradition, which stretches back to 1951.

  • SNOW BIRDS the 1948 Philadelphia Eagles
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 12 (1981) SNOW BIRDS The 1948 Philadelphia Eagles By Bob Carroll & The Pro Football Hall of Fame This is an upbeat story. You don't see many of them anymore, what with violence down in the street, nuclear holocaust around the corner, and much of the world 'round the bend. But this story happened in a less cynical age, and so we don't have to feel uneasy if there's a happy ending. It's a story about a football team that kept losing until they hired a coach who had learned to win, about the team's greatest player, best season, and most crucial game. More than that, it's about "professionals," in the sense of men who knew what they were expected to do and went out and did it. It's about winners. But, for a long time, they were anything but. The Philadelphia Eagles were born in 1933 during the Depression -- their symbol was the Blue Eagle of Roosevelt's National Recover Act -- and, for the remainder of the Thirties, they were a depressed area in the National Football League. Future NFL commissioner Bert Bell, along with several partners, purchased the franchise for $2,500 and an agreement to pay off a portion of the debts left behind in 1931 by the Frankford Yellow Jackets, Philadelphia's early NFL team. In the Eagles' first game, the New York Giants humiliated them, 56-0. Although they improved from there, the Birds set up permanent residence at the bottom of the NFL pack.
