Men's Tennis Wraps Up Sherwood Collegiate Cup
Julian Lenz fell in the semifinal match to UCLA's Dennis Mrktchian, a name that I hope to be able to pronounce one day. Several other Baylor players made it deep into the consolation bracket. The team is currently back home for a match against No. 11 Illinois on Wednesday.
Talkin' 'bout the DBR
Regarding my ability to rite the DBR from my cozy (read: very small) apartment in Cologne, Germany (a city that bears a frightening resemblance to Austin): I was out of pocket for a few days and forgot to let the rest of the managers know. If Mark and Peter want to bring someone else on to help with the DBR while I'm gone, I welcome that, but for the moment you're stuck with me. Get ready for periodic analysis of the Bundesliga table (hail Gladbach!).
