UNLV Set to Tangle with Tough Course

STILLWATER, Okla. - Ask anyone in the know and they will tell you about the can't-miss buy in this bucolic college town: Eskimo Joe's famous T-shirts.

Off the shelves they've flown since 1975, and wearing the grinning-Eskimo-and-husky logo of the Oklahoma State bar once voted the best college postgame hangout by The Sporting News is the secret knock at the town door.

The immortal green plains are content to hide the simple appeal that 40,000 residents enjoy here, but even "Stillwater's Jumpin' Little Juke Joint" reached through the quiet to grab a piece of spotlight when it began selling those special shirts on its website.

Jumping out of the calm background and into the big time this week is Karsten Creek Golf Course, the home of the 2003 NCAA Men's Golf Championships. Quite a gem it is -- UNLV coach Dwaine Knight calls it the hardest nationals course he has seen since The Honors Course at Tennessee seven years ago.
