Austin Wranglers Issue
From
AFL to af2
Last year the Austin Wranglers
played in the Arena Football League
under the leadership of a new head
coach and the addition of several
new players. This year the Wranglers
have another new coach, an entirely
new roster, and most significantly,
a new league. What does it all mean?
We found out.
Where
are they now?
When the Wranglers dropped to af2
after last season everyone left
including Dane Krager (above),
Derrick Lewis and former coach Brian
Partlow. Learn where each one landed
and why one of them decided to call
it quits altogether.
Ben
Bennett - New Man in Charge
He
was so successful in the AFL as a player he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000. He has been equally
successful as a coach. How does he expect to bring that
same level of success to Austin?
He tells us.

Silent
E No More - Erin Hogan Finally
Speaks Out
After months of
silence following his departure from
AM1300-The Zone, Erin Hogan finally
speaks out about: what happened at
the sports radio station he called
home for almost a decade, what the
future holds for his career, and
whether or not he plans on staying
in Austin.
Drinking,
Driving and Sports
Sports and
alcohol have been married together
for years. With that known, what
happens at sporting events to
prevent fans from overimbibing and
getting behind the wheel? And what
should you do if you find yourself
in that situation and in a pair of
handcuffs?
Monthly Columns
The
Other Side: April Brings a Change of
Heart?
With a baby due this month,
regular contributor Trysh Thompson
gets reflective on her past columns,
specifically those that took a nasty
turn for the worst and agitated more
than a few readers. She finds it in
her heart to ask for forgiveness.
Besides the pregnancy, what could
cause such a change of heart? Why
such sincerity?
One
Man's Fit is Another Man's Folly
Howard Nemerov writes in his
column about the frustration he
recently experienced trying to buy
new underwear. It appears that
manufacturers are now designing
maternity underpants for men where
the extra room is no longer in the
buttocks, but the lower abdomen. It’s
a sad indictment on our society and
how out of shape we have become.
What
is Prostate Cancer?
Urologist Peter Ruff offers the
first part of a three-part series on
prostate cancer. In this month’s
column he provides a breakdown of
those individuals who are at a
higher risk for the disease, he
identifies the various contributing
factors, and he offers a high-level
overview of what prostate cancer is
and how it affects those who have
it.
Calendar
of Events
Spring has sprung in the world
of sports. This month is as
jam-packed as you’ll find during
any time of the year with the Round
Rock Express starting off the new
‘08 season, the Austin Wranglers
playing their first full month of
action and the Austin Toros making a
final playoff push. And those are
just a few of the events listed.
