What is overweight, gray and has a great memory? If you answered Bill Belichick (or Beli-cheat), then you'd be close. But think more about the elephant in the room if this column, much to my chagrin, doesn't...

My space is being invaded!Calling a Web site MySpace seems like an indication that users have control over what appears. This is far from the truth.

I may sound like a grumpy Gus, but if I get one more friend request on MySpace from some cyber woman named Candy, I will personally track down Tom, drag him into the street and give him the beating he deserves.

I'm sure any MySpace user knows what I'm talking about: the endless amount of spam that clogs up your once-stylish profile, making it an eyesore.

He looked up from the table where the trainer hovered, preparing the players for practice."Yeah, I have lots of goals," sophomore guard Jason Ebie said as a smile crawled across his face. "I have goals of us winning more than 25 games."

Dougherty said he wants to open up the offense and be more aggressive on both sides of the ball.

The niece of a former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver finished her college basketball career at TCU as the career leader in eight different categories. Sandora Irvin, daughter of Michael Irvin, is the NCAA's all-time leader in blocked shots and was the No. 3 overall selection in the 2005 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury.

The college has been successful with a retention rate of 85 to 100 percent, said Donna Tilley, associate professor and director of the Harris College of Nursing. But the College of Health and Human Sciences is continuing to raise the bar, and other colleges should take notice.

Highlighted by 2007 Mountain West Conference co-player of the year Adrianne Ross, the women's basketball team will utilize a core group of senior guards to try for an eighth straight appearance in the NCAA tournament.Head coach Jeff Mittie said Ross has always had a great ability to get to rim, no matter whom she is up against.

"When you look up at the end, I think Adrianne Ross is going to be a player that we're going to go to at the end of games," Mittie said. "She's a player that's going to have the ball in her hands."

There are no stupid questions.Professors have been telling their students this for ages.

But to some, it seems this is a lie they feel the need to repeat every semester for appearances sake.

Granted there are some stupid questions.

There are always students who as they raise their hands the entire class and professor join in a collective sigh.

It is inevitable.

Facebook can be a blessing or a curse when embarking on a job search.Purdue University with the National Association of Colleges and Employers offered a survey to campus recruiters and 64 companies.
