I first met Chad 5-6 years ago when I did some stories on him as he was shocking the skating world making the transition from inline champion to the ice. He was an unbelievably arrogant guy but a compelling story based on a Texan taking to the ice.

I don't see kendo references often. I have a cousin in Japan who is a grand Master and world champion. I find it all ridiculously cool. But I'd never be able to talk my wife into letting my son switch from TKD.

Sly Fox wrote:I covered Kliff (Kingsbury) in high school and in college and as an assistant coach at UH. It hardly seems possible for him to be old enough to be a head coach at a BCS level university. But he certainly has a terrific offensive mind.

My uncle, Pap Honore, won the IMAC sprint car championship 7 years in a row in the late '50s and early 60s with an Offenhauser engine

• * Member of '90s CCM act Caedmons Call
  * Uttering bad words in a few songs

I believe I saw him singing in the Second Baptist Christmas production a few weeks back here in Houston. I'm not a huge fan but I like what he is doing with NoiseTrade to share free music.

I've known Brent for about 15 years dating back to when I was just the third ever poster on the Texas State board he started back when they were still called SWT. He is well connected and rarely step out on limbs.
