taken over the Browns head-
coachingjob.
The Browns have looked
much better than last year’s train
wreck, but they are in the AFC
with a lot of good teams.
They just are not in the top
realm yet.
Trent Dilfer has looked like
the Dilfer of 2000 when the
Ravens beat the Giants in the
Super Bowl.
Dilfer has a 95.1 quarterback
rating, and his rating must stay in
the 90s for the Browns to contin-
ue fighting.
However, the Browns are in
trouble. They have more speed
bumps down the road, and
chances are they’re still not ready.
Winning three more games
this year would be the most I
could see for the Browns.
Doing a 3-13 season is an un-
acceptable record for any coach.
But Crennel should be given
a couple of years because the
coaching ability is there,
Like the Ron Howqrd venture,
the new film is helmed by an actor-
tumed-director, Bill Paxton.
It also illustrates sports as a
great equalizer between landed
gentry and working classes.
This time, the underdog’s bat-
tles are not fought in the proletariat
year-old Francis Ouimet emerged
victorious over a group of golfing
champions, including the leg-
endary Harry Vardon.
The screenplay parallels the
stories of Ouimet and Vardon.
They each have obstacles, and
each wins the other’s admiration.
be enough to get past the super
Patriots this year.
But who knows? With Brady
behind the center, there is always
a chance.
The Pats should finish with
13 or 14 wins, but this will be no
cakewalk through the tough AFC
playoffs.
If anyone can do it, it’s Bill
Belichick and the Patriots.
These coaches have three
very good teams.
Weis is under a lot of pres-
sure at Notre Dame, but if any
man can turn that program
around, it’s he and his awesome
offense.
Crennel sill has quite a lot of
work for his team to be as suc-
cessful as the others on this list,
buLCrennel has a long season.
If he can keep his players
growing like they are, you may
see a change sooner than later.
Belichick will remain the
dominant power for now as his
boat’s already full steam ahead.
Flag football to open
TCC’s coed flag football season is a week closer. The 4-on-4 league
is gearing up to start just one week from today.
Kevin Harper, HPER instructor, said free agents and captains will
meet at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12, in the NE Campus gym.
The last day to register is Tuesday, Oct. 11. Players can register as
free agents or as a team if they already have one.
The Oct. 12 meeting is required for captains and free agents.
Participants can register in the HPER department offices on NE and
SE campuses. For additional information, call Harper at 817-515-6621.

(KRT) In the arena of based-
on-fact sports films, The Greatest
Game Ever Played travels some-
what the same route as Cinderella
Man, but in a less brooding fash-
ion. It presents an against-all-odds
victory in lilting rather than pulsat-
ing rhythms.
One of the goals for the SGA would be to serve as an intermediary
for students when dealing with administration. At NE Campus, adminis-
tration has an open door policy. Students can take concerns directly to
the dean or president.
“With administrators being as accessible as they are, we really do
not need a student government,” Casterline said.
Dr. Parker said that administrators are interested in hearing ideas ||
and thoughts about SGA.
“We will meet with any student representation to discuss SGA,” he
said.
Students interested in helping to develop an SGA can also contact
the student activities office at 817-515-6644.
Bill
Belichick,
Romeo
Crennel,
Charlie
Weis—all
three cru-
cial pieces
of the New
England
Patriots
Super
Bowl run—are now on different
sidelines.
They were not players but
coaches at the top of their game
the last few years.
Now which one can open up
and succeed on his own?
Weis, the mastermind behind
the three-time Super Bowl
Patriots’ offense, has taken over
the reigns as head coach of the
University of Notre Dame.
The fighting Irish have start-
ed off with a bang with wins over
Pittsburgh, Michigan and
Washington, but a tough road lies
ahead.
Notre Dame has shown
greatness this season.
Its offense has looked really
strong, at some points showing
that coach Weis does know how
to get his offense moving.
The running game behind
No. 3 Darius Walker has been ex-
plosive, averaging 112 yards per
game, and the team is rushing for
179.8 per game for the season.
Brady Quinn has lived up to
and beyond expectations for this
early in the year.
He looks good enough to be
a bottom-of-the-list Heisman can-
didate. Quinn has been phenome-
nal averaging almost 300 yards
per game and has an efficiency
rating of 144.94.
Coach Weis made his pres-
ence felt in a hurry, but he has a
long season still ahead of him
with teams like USC, Tennessee
and Syracuse.
My prediction, an 8-3 sea-
son, would be a wonderful job by
Coach Weis.

sive coordinator for the Pats, has

Relax while camping
(KRT) ORLANDO, Fla.—The satellite dish signals one thing. This
is no ordinary camper.
While other campers are riding bikes from the beach or barbecuing
their dinners, John Liberski might spend hours trying to position his
satellite dish so he can watch a NASCAR race in the comfort of his 30-
foot-long recreational vehicle.
Given the leafy tree canopy of Anastasia State Park, that is no easy
task. On a recent weekend, Liberski, 63, of Fort Pierce, Fla., finally hits
pay dirt when he finds a small clearing on the edge of the campground IU
road, where the dish is clearly visible to passers-by and campers.
The neighbors don’t seem to mind. After all, they came with their
own electronic gadgets.
Ted and Melinda Fryman of Lake City, Fla., have an entire entertain-
ment center packed inside their recreational vehicle—DVD player, com-
puter, CD player and AM-FM radio, plus an antenna that lets them re-
ceive signals from five TV stations while they’re camping near St.
Augustine.
If you haven’t been camping lately, you might be in for a shock.
The wilderness isn’t what it used to be.
Today’s campers come equipped not just with bug spray and burgers,
but cell phones, computers, televisions and video games. As electronic
gadgets have become more portable, Americans have begun toting them
everywhere—even into the great outdoors. So private campgrounds and ■
state parks are busily adding electronic amenities to keep campers happy.
Recently, company officials at Kampgrounds of America polled
campers about amenities they’d like to see. High on the list were cable
and phone lines and wireless Internet access.
Through courses incorporated in the convergence technology degree
program, such as Security Management Practices, students are pushing
textbooks aside for hands-on simulation exercises.
For example, students have the opportunity to diagnose and fix secu- I
rity issues that companies deal with, such as viruses.
“We’re taking real industry problems and having students research
and find the appropriate solution to these problems,” Cypert said.
Cypert said the program goes beyond the “how to” aspect of technol-
ogy by incorporating critical thinking skills and utilizing problem- solv-
ing solutions.
With the service industry jobs being shored away, even skilled tech- i
nicians are being laid off.
But Forsting said convergence technology is a good way to stay
functional in the workplace.
“It’s the wave of the future,” he said. “Anybody that does anything
with computers will have to use convergence technology.” i
Cypert said with the new program, TCC is doing its part to help stu-
dents meet higher standards in the workplace by utilizing skills-based
learning, certification preparation tools, case-based projects with integral-.
ed project management and business soft skills requirements and cross
platform integration in the classroom.
Technical skills are always in a forward moving state.
“If you’re dealing with technology, you’re dealing with constant ■
change,: Cypert said. g
Forsting said the rise in demand for quality from consumers and the
combination of creative developments from technologists and engineers
have contributed to the emerging of convergence technology.

Winning coaches take on challenges

Bill Belichick coaches from the sidelines in last year’s Super Bowl, won by Belichick and The New
England Patriots. Belichick and his winning coaches have been split up with Romeo Crennel leading the
Cleveland Browns and Charlie Weis as head coach for Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish.
One can see it in the players’
hustling and wanting to win.
The good ole Patriots are led
by quarterback Tom Brady on the
field and by Belichick on the
sidelines, and Belichick has
coached three Patriot Super Bowl
squads.
An early loss to the Panthers
kind of shook up everyone, but
the following week New England
squeaked by the AFC champion
runners up, the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
With Rodney Harrison out for
the season, the defense will have
to discover if they have another
puzzle piece to use.
The Patriots look no better or
worse than last year.
But being the same is good
and bad for this team in the tough
AFC.
The Colts are playing de-
fense. Although the offense is not
the regular high flying Colts of
the past, it is still dangerous and
coupled with that defense might

Golf was once deemed the

and the best a working bloke could
expect was a position as caddy.
