Congrats to DU alum Charlie Soule who battled his way to a 9th place tie at the Colorado Open. Charlie led after after the first round and never collapsed under the pressure. He was under par all four rounds and his opening round 65 was the second best score of the Tournament. The $3,383.33 paycheck probably won't cover a new set of custom golf clubs, but he has to be thinking of trying a few more events this year.

The University of Denver Athletic Department has formed a Social Media Committee to promote athletic events to students, alumni and fans. Bringing blogs, websites, Twitter, Facebook, texting and other viral campaigns under one umbrella will be a positive development for DU sports fans. If you have ideas, suggestions or thoughts on social media, post them in the Comments Section below and LetsGoDU will pass them along to the Athletic Department.

The University of Denver has three head coaches on the payroll who have won multiple NCAA D-I national championships. They also have a volunteer assistant coach who won a national championship as a head coach on board as well. Excellence comes at a price, and now the Athletic Department must figure out how to pay for it all. Enter Scott Koskoski who will be in charge Development and Major Gifts [six & seven figure donations].
