XU Club Football, PGA TOUR high on agenda
A WEEKEND OF FOOTBALL,
GOLF AND RAKING LEAVES;
CAN BENGALS BEAT ‘BYE?’
First of all, LUDWIG AT LARGE would like to thank David Allen for inviting me to his Milford, Ohio, home on Sunday, Nov. 9, for some fun, food and football.
I appreciate the kind gesture, but I’m going to do what Carson Palmer can’t do — PASS!
A 20-mule-team couldn’t drag me out of THE MIAMISBURG WAR ROOM this weekend.
I’m just a wee bit tired from pounding the pavement in and around Paul Brown Stadium.
HERE’S WHAT I’LL BE DOING: I’ll be paying close attention to …
—-The Xavier University Club Football Team. At noon on Saturday, Nov. 8, the Musketeers face the Marquette Golden Eagles at Cincinnati’s Withrow High School.
IN HEAD COACH TOM POWERS’ WORDS:
“XU has never beaten MU and there is definitely a large amount of ‘PAYBACK’ that is DUE!!!!!!!!!!! A win for XU locks up the MCFC (Midwestern Club Football Conference) Championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
—-Frank Lickliter’s quest for redemption on the PGA Tour.
Frank made the cut at the Children’s Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart being held at Disney’s Magnolia & Disney’s Palm Course in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
Frank (74-65) is tied for 60th heading into the weekend in the final event on the 2008 PGA Tour schedule.
Here’s what T.J. Auclair — a columnist for PGATOUR.COM — wrote about Frank:
FRANK LICKLITER II … The man behind the shades starts this week ranked No. 145 on the money list. Off the course, it’s been a tremendous year for Lickliter, as he welcomed twin boys to the world. On the course, it’s been a different story.
In 2007, Lickliter won the final stage of q-school to earn his TOUR card. However, that momentum just didn’t carry over. He’s missed the cut eight times in 31 starts, including six straight during a stretch over the summer.
In terms of making it to the weekend, Lickliter has been pretty good in 2008. The issue has been closing it out. With a third-round scoring average of 71.59 (161st on TOUR) and a final-round average of 72.60 (ranked 180th), it’s easy to see where Lickliter needs to improve.
Lickliter tied for second at Disney in 2006. Can the two-time TOUR winner improve that position by one spot this time around?
