Jordan Spieth, Joe Haggar
Jordan Spieth may have a killer swing, and looks that could rival Justin Bieber, but he’s very much a normal seventeen year-old looking forward to his freshmen year of college for academics, golf, and oh yeah – a normal social life. UT’s next big thing is a very well spoken individual; the epitome of well raised. Fresh off the green from this year’s Byron Nelson, You+Dallas caught up with Spieth to find out about what’s in store for him. (more…)

Baseball betrayed me. I was a typical teen who didn’t care about players and owners bickering over salary renegotiations and free-agency terms. I was a 14 year-old who had collected baseball cards since I was old enough to demand an allowance. All I cared about was watching my heroes: The Rangers. My favorite player, Nolan Ryan, had just retired, and I was on the hunt for a new baseball hero. Cue the ’94 strike, and a fall-out that would last over ten years. The players and the managers were hurt, but the real victims were fans just like me.

Each team had season-defining games last weekend. I have some good news and some bad news.
First, the good. The men’s soccer team (now ranked #5 nationally) beat #17 Tulsa and Memphis last week, vaulting them to the top of C-USA and proving that they are one of the elite teams in the country. Everyone seems to be talking about the football team’s turnaround, but the futbol team’s rise to the top is just as interesting.
Here’s a quick bed-time story for the children: SMU was ranked #1 in the country in 2006, and entered the NCAA tournament with national title hopes. SMU’s hopes were dashed, but they came back strong in 2007, again reaching a #1 ranking mid-season and a #5 ranking by the time the season was over. The next two years did not go as well, as the team ended each year unranked, with records of 10-6-2 in 2008 and 6-8-2 in 2009. (more…)

Mr. Allen, Tucker Allen, Joe Haggar
The countdown to the Evening Under the Star party continues as Friday quickly approaches. Internationally recognized St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is all about patients receiving proper treatment, whether or not their families can afford it. No patient is ever turned away. Financially supported by ALSAC, Memphis-based St. Jude is the #1 pediatric cancer center in the nation, and all ticket proceeds from the Evening Under the Star party go to St. Jude. (more…)

With the NBA getting kicked off this week, I wanted to draw your attention to Get Buckets, an NBA hoops focused blog written by some really knowledgeable and passionate NBA guys. Yes, they have been instructed to keep us all up to date on what is going on with Kevin Durant but will also be following the varied story lines of David Stern’s Wild Ride. – S.R.
The best player on the defending champions is usually seen as the best player in basketball – from Bird and Magic in the 80’s to Jordan in the 90’s, with Hakeem sneaking in for a brief stretch during Jordan’s baseball hiatus. (more…)
