1. It’s not just Dallas trying to get the College Football Hall of Fame to relocate here from South Bend, Indiana. Arlington is offering its own pitch, which I imagine goes like this: “Hey, we’ve got Six Flags, the ballpark, the new Cowboys stadium – what’s one more huge parking lot off I-30?” (Bonus opinion: As Tim noted, the reason no one goes to the CFHoF is not because it’s in South Bend. It’s because even college football fans like me don’t care. What, I want to read about how a bunch of Heisman Trophy winners dominated their sport before failing in the NFL? Really?)

2. TCU has decided to put on hold its plans to offer housing to gay students and their supporters, quite probably because of the negative reaction the decision sparked, and possibly because fraternities worried they would no longer throw the best parties on campus.

3. Police think they may have apprehended the M Streets carjacker after another jacking at Mockingbird and Abrams on Monday. Now I can finally start going to Curves again.
