Trisha Ford, Texas A&M’s new softball coach. brought 11 in newcomers to inject new blood into the program.COLLEGE STATION — Three games into her Texas A&M tenure, Trisha Ford already is earning milestone victories.
Ford has won her first three contests at A&M to reach 400, and her task with the Aggies is straightforward yet quite involved: returning A&M to its softball glory days of two NCAA national titles. “I think this program is going to look a lot different than maybe it has in the past,” said catcher Julia Cottrill, a transfer from Oklahoma State who started her A&M career with four hits and five RBIs in the Aggies’ 12-2 season-opening victory over Tarleton on Thursday. “I’m really excited for what we have in store.”
Leavitt, like Ford a California native, arrived at A&M from Minnesota, where she made the Big Ten all-freshman team a year ago. Leavitt said she was immediately smitten with A&M’s many traditions.

What's stopping lawmakers from legalizing sports betting? - Texas Wants to KnowSuper Bowl LVII is just over a week away, but Texas residents won't be able to place bets on the game -- at least not legally. Some state lawmakers are working to change that, but they could face political hurdles just to get their bills to a floor vote. State Sen. Carol Alvarado (D-Houston) has filed SJR 17, which would create a Texas Gaming Commission and allow for legalized casino gambling in the state, while a yet-to-be-introduced bill back by the Sports Betting Alliance will focus more specifically on sports betting.
