Welcome to March. First a follow-up on last Friday’s cover story on the club women’s lacrosse team – the girls won all five games they played at the tournament hosted by the University of Georgia last weekend. Considering they were playing even more top 10 and top 25 competition, that’s incredibly impressive. Back here in Boulder, the men’s club lacrosse team beat Boston College 9-8 in overtime to kick off its season.

In Buffs news, the women’s golf team is at the San Jose State Invitational today and tomorrow – and the athletic department will be announcing something later this evening at Vista Ridge Golf Club. Expect more on that announcement later tonight and in tomorrow’s papers.

In football news, with spring practice coming soon, there was a minor tussle this weekend as there was a ‘will he, won’t he’ story over the weekend regarding CU receivers coach Greg Brown. He interviewed for the offensive coordinator position at South Florida, but decided to stay.

It’s the last week of regular season play for the men’s and women’s basketball teams; the women play at Nebraska and close the regular season out at home against Kansas State Saturday, while the men take a bow at Coors against Texas A&M on Wednesday and hit the road to play K-State this weekend. Next week sees the Big 12 Tournament; can the men’s team, especially, find the form that saw them almost upset Oklahoma and Kansas to play spoiler in the conference tourney?

A win against Texas A&M would do wonders to help the team’s confidence, and of course winning the final home game would be great for the program.

In track news, it shouldn’t be shocking to see Jenny Barringer break records, but it’s still awe-inspiring nevertheless. It’s the fastest indoor mile by a woman in the world so far this year; Barringer smashed the CU record by 15 seconds, and broke a 21-year-old NCAA record. Oh, and she beat Texas Tech’s Sally Kipyego, too, something else she hadn’t done yet. Three races, three CU records. Much congratulations to Barringer on the record and title.

In non-CU news – and as a suggestion for your TV viewing this evening – may we present to you something on…yes, the Golf Channel.

But – BUT – here’s the twist. It’s a program called “The Haney Project,” where golf coach Hank Haney – who has coached Tiger Woods and is one of the top coaches in the world – will try and fix former NBA star Charles Barkely’s swing.

Why does Charles Barkley’s swing need fixing? See for yourself:

It’s turrible, as the round mound of rebound would say. And since Charles Barkley is the most entertaining former athlete on TV (DUI or no DUI), hands down, him trying to fix that janky golf swing will be must-see TV. I know what I’ll be doing tonight.
