MUW Dumping Women's Sports
Ouch. The Mississippi University for Women (and Men, actually) is trying to abolish its women's athletics programs due to budget cuts and tornado damage. "MUW President Claudia Limbert is asking state College Board approval on Thursday to take steps to eliminate the school's four teams beginning July 1, 2003," the Clarion-Ledger reported today.
Bungling in Boulder (updated)
Colorado has named an interim football coach, but suspended coach Gary Barnett says he expects to be reinstated. Think again, Gary. If there was ever a candidate for the NCAA death penalty, it's Colorado's football program. But it will never happen. CU football will go on, but without Gary.
Quoteworthy
Tee Martin, who succeeded Peyton Manning as Tennessee's starting quarterback in 1998, with some advice for Micheal Spurlock as he prepares to take over for Eli at Ole Miss next season: "There's only a certain amount of Mannings born, and they are who they are, and you are who you are. Don't give in to the pressure of people saying you're not a great player because you're not a Manning."

Are Christian bands downplaying their faith?
A Wiretap story by Nick Flanagan explores this provocative question about alt-Christian bands. He writes: "Christian bands became wiser to the forces of marketing and PR. Not content to stay within the Christian music market -- and wanting secular validation -- many bands began making the leap into the mainstream. Now they're taking cues from Stryper on what not to do; they're downplaying their Christianity."
Braves Take A Seat
The Mississippi Braves have cancelled the last four games of the season due to damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. The Braves were scheduled to begin a four-game series with the Carolina Mudcats on Friday. The team had already canceled its three-game home series with Chattanooga. Meanwhile, Alcorn State postponed its football game with Grambling State, scheduled for Saturday in Lorman.
Teed Off
Misssissippi's only PGA Tour event, the Southern Farm Bureau Classic started Thursday at the Annandale Golf Club in Madison. Tickets are $15 a day. But if you can't get up there until the weekend — or are so into Jackson that getting that far north of the city limits gives you a rash — you can follow the action on this live scoreboard.
It's Miller Time
Reigning world cup skiing champion and Olympic favorite Bode Miller tells "60 Minutes" "it's not easy" skiing when you're drunk. He says he's done it before and might do it again. Don't go off half-baked in Turin, dude.
Can You Be Misquoted In Your Own Column?
Talk about sleeping with the enemy: Since he became manager of the Chicago White Sox last year, he's written a regular column for a daily in Caracas, Venezuela. Presumably, his editor has never said of Ozzie, "he better shut the (bleep) up." But if Ozzie's editor is like most editors, Doctor S suspects that she has said that.
Blood Sport
This has nothing to do with sports, but in honor of Tuesday's pseudo-holiday, you should rush out and find a copy of "My Bloody Valentine", a 1981 slasher film that's hilarious (but only unintentionally). Doctor S just wants you to suffer like he did 25 years ago when he went to see it at the theater. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Stanford Tree Gets Ax
The Stanford University band fired its tree mascot after she showed up drunk for a basketball game. The band was already on "alcohol suspension" so the tree had to go. "We don't want to risk our core mission of rocking out and bringing funk to the funkless," a band spokesman said.
Favre Wants To Hold Packers Hostage
This just in: Burned-out superstar QB Brett Favre tells ESPN he is leaning toward retiring. He would like to wait until the Green Bay Packers start training camp to make up his mind, which tells you what kind of "team player" Brett Favre is: a lousy one. Do us a favor and quit, BF. Or be quiet.
