RATTO REPORT

In the San Francisco Chronicle in December of 2007, Ray Ratto profiled schools that received bowl invitations despite losing six games during the regular-season. Prior to the 2010-2011 bowl season, 37 schools entered a bowl game with a 6-6 record with 21 of those schools winning their bowl game. Three of the 6-6 teams (Oklahoma State in 2006, Alabama 2007 and Iowa State 2009) defeated another 6-6 team (Alabama 2006, Colorado 2007 and Minnesota 2009). This season, 14 teams have 6-6 records with one bowl game (New Mexico) featuring 6-6 schools (BYU and UTEP).

DAVEY OBRIEN AWARD

Junior Cam Newton of Auburn was named as the 2010 Davey OBrien National Quarterback Award winner on December 9 at The Home Depot College Football Awards Show in Orlando. Newton will be honored at the 34th Annual OBrien Awards Dinner on February 21, 2011 at The Fort Worth Club in Fort Worth, Texas. The three finalists for the 2010 The OBrien were Newton, sophomore Andrew Luck of Stanford and junior Kellen Moore of Boise State. The players selected by The OBrien National Selection Committee with the Fan Vote accounting for five percent of the total vote. The committee was asked to consider the following criteria: quarterback skills, academics, character, leadership and sportsmanship. The Davey OBrien Foundation was established in 1977 to present the OBrien Memorial Trophy, recognizing annually the outstanding college football player in the five southwestern states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. The award was redirected in 1981 to be national in scope, but limited to the quarterback position. OBrien led the TCU Horned Frogs to the 1938 National Championship and was the first player to win the Heisman, Walter Camp and Maxwell Awards in one season.

SUNDANCE SQUARE

Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth is rich in Western history and lore. During the great cattle drives of the late 1800's, Fort Worth was one of the major stops on the legendary Chisholm Trail. Cowboys on the trail would visit downtown Fort Worth for some much needed recreation. The downtown area was filled with saloons, gambling parlors, shooting galleries and dance halls, which attracted a rough mix of gamblers, cattlemen, outlaws, and lonesome doves. The area was named for the Sundance Kid who along with his partner Butch Cassidy - was a frequent visitor to the area, then known as Hell's Half Acre. Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, well-known participants in the "Shootout at the OK Corral," could also be spotted from time to time in Sundance Square. Most of the buildings in Sundance Square date from the turn of the 20th century, and have been beautifully restored to provide a wonderful architectural view of the past. The red brick streets and lush courtyards add to Sundance Square's authentic aura. A few of the notable buildings in Sundance Square include the Knights of Pythias Hall (1901), the Land Title Building (1889), and the Jett Building (1907), which features the Chisholm Trail Mural painted by Richard Haas in the mid 1980s and spans the building's southern faade. The mural commemorates the Fort Worth segment of the Chisholm Trail cattle drives of 1867-1875. Located only 18 miles from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Sundance Square is accessible to the Southwest and the world. Dallas, Arlington and the Mid-Cities are only a short drive on major freeways. The Fort Worth Convention Center and the Intermodal Transportation Center, a regional hub for ground transportation, are located just blocks away. (Sundance Square Management, Suite 700, 201 Main Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102-3134; 255-5700, info@sundancesquare.com)
DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH DIRECTORY (817 Area Code)

COWTOWN DINER is an updated version of a classic neighborhood diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The new Sundance Square restaurant is about hearty, familiar fare with a culinary twist, and environments stylish enough for the executive lunch meeting but casual enough for a late-night chicken fried steak after hitting downtown Fort Worth nightlife.
