    Lawrence Hamilton was only testing bird watchers

    To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

    Ed, would you believe that this was only a test to see how many knew the difference between male and female woodpeckers? I didn't know I was starting a war between bird lovers.

    Lawrence Hamilton

    Of course. Pen and I were in on the secret. It worked. You have to keep people on their toes at this time of the year. -EW

    By Chris Megginson, CU Sports information director

    CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Year three started with a bang Wednesday for Campbellsville University head football coach Perry Thomas, as he had 51 recruits signed to play for the Tigers in 2010. By the end of the week, CU is expected to have 58 signed players with hopes to add around 20 or 30 more by the end of the summer.

    "Today is like Christmas in February, but it's not done," Thomas said.

    The 2010 class is the third and strongest recruiting class for Thomas, who has turned a once 0-10 team into a 7-4 and nationally ranked program in just two seasons.
