HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our blogging friends. May 2012 be your best year ever!
As we approach a new year many of you love to make new year's resolutions. I have found that most of us break them within the first month but they are fun to make anyway. Here are some for the new year:
* Resolve to keep trying to get our officials paid for their training time.
* Resolve to enlist as many new officials as possible.
* Resolve to have meals provided for all officials.
* Resolve to pass the officials exams.
* Resolve to be more diverse in the new year.
Along with the new year's resolutions are always some prognostications (that usually never come true), but again, they are fun to make. Here we go...* Prognosticate that the Big 12 men's tennis race will be closer than ever and a dark horse team will emerge as champion.
* A&M will not have a joyous time in their new SEC home in every sport except track.
* UT might actually win 8 games in football in 2012--but its highly doubtful.
* UT might actually find a real quarterback as they roam the country recruiting.
* Baylor will find out how valuable Griffin was and will probably return to reality in 2012.
* OU will go undefeated in the Big 12 football race and play in a BCS bowl.
* Tech will buy stock in a new tortilla factory in Lubbock.
* OSU will suck in 2012 but at least they finished well in 2011.
* TCU will finish at least 3rd in the Big 12 football race.
* Tom Wright won't have to have surgery this year.
* Myron Krueger will cut back on officiating so he can spend more time in College Station.
* Herb Taylor could be close to matrimony in the new year.
* Gary Tolbert will make up four new officiating rules this year.
* Vickie Wright will be sporting a "new look" as an Austin referee.
* Mary Lynn Satur will start an "ex-bunny club" in the Metroplex.
* More pro level officials will quit when they discover they can't make a real living.
* A high profile Metroplex official will get married and two will get divorced.
* Djokovic will win the Grand Slam.
* Nadal will retire.
* A new ITA officials organization will emerge in Texas.
* The officials will wear burnt orange shirts at the men's NJCAA tournament.
* A transgendered man who has now become a woman will rise to the top 10 in the women's ranking.
* Television networks will severely curtail their coverage of women's tennis due to lack of interest and sponsors.
* A different woman will win each of the Grand Slam tournaments.
* There will be a three way tie for #1 in women's tennis at the end of the year.
* There will be some key resignations and retirements in the Texas officiating world.
* We will see more transgendered officials working our tournaments.

Will there be a change in coordinator in the Brazos Valley? Their move to the SEC (re opposing coaches) almost dictates this.
As I gaze into my crystal ball, I concur with your curiosity. I would tend to think it is on the horizon.
Ha ha, wishful thinking that one ain't going anywhere
Hopefully she won't have a choice.
You know if she wasn't the coordinator of choice that news would spread quicker than Bin Laden's Death. She ain't going anywhere but into the SEC.
You need to stop and think this through. Its not just a matter of getting rid of someone . . . . then you have to come up with a replacement. Who would that be? Come on . . . . let's hear some ideas.
Give me a break. That person needs to be let go. Anybody would do a better job, even a chimp,
This proves my point from 12/31: there is nobody else to be coordinator down there. Not even one suggestion! (The chimp wouldn't pass the background check)
Over two weeks since I asked who would be the replacement coordinator in the Brazos Valley. No suggestions other than the chimp. This proves my point.
She has a lifetime appointment.
