While most country legends are either dead or recording with Rick Rubin, Bobby Bare has returned with a collection of songs that's easily better than anything else out of Nashville this year.Bare first grabbed the spotlight with tunes like the Grammy-winning "Detroit City," and in 1973, with a collection of tunes penned by Playboy cartoonist-turned-children's author, Shel Silverstein, called "Bobby Bare Sings Lullabies, Legends, and Lies." A maverick in the early '60s Nashville scene, Bare sang quirky songs with snappy countrypolitan arrangements, making him something of a bohemian Eddy Arn

Imagine waking up day after day, looking in the mirror and seeing a person who is not like everyone else for the simple reason that he or she does not have any hair.In a world so consumed with outward appearance and model and movie star-quality beauty, a child suffering from medical hair loss is like a small fish trying to survive in shark-infested waters.

With a starting staff that racked up 38 strikeouts against Florida Atlantic this weekend, TCU head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle is justifiably confident in his top three pitchers. Now he's just looking for one more.

"The challenge now is we got to find that fourth guy," Schlossnagle said. "I'll match our starting pitching up with anybody in the country."

Friday night's clash between TCU and Florida Atlantic looked like it would be a battle between two strong sophomore right-handers, but it turned out to be a one-man show.TCU's Jake Arrieta turned in a masterful performance to lead the No. 21 Frogs over FAU and preseason All-American pitcher Mickey Storey 5-1 at Lupton Stadium.

I can cook jambalaya (nearly) from memory, understand the Cajun-French my grandmother peppers her speech with, dance like a crazy person, be a complete snob about what actually qualifies as "Mardi Gras" (hint: if it's outside of New Orleans, it does not), and have extremely high standards for seafood and Cajun cooking outside of Louisiana.

But my family moved to Texas 11 years ago and I like to think my world became a little brighter.

Select members of the TCU track team will leave today to compete in three last-chance meets this weekend as a final attempt to qualify for the NCAA Championships next weekend.Head coach Darryl Anderson said only the top 16 in the NCAA will be eligible to compete at the championships next week. He also said the meets this weekend at LSU, Iowa State and Notre Dame will give runners a final shot at improving or ensuring their rankings.

"You're going because you want to either get in the top 16 or stay in the top 16," Anderson said.

The first two weeks of March signal the beginning of NCAA postseason play, but they also mark the end of a career for six seniors on the TCU men's and women's basketball teams.Wednesday night was the last...
