Bubba Watson is already thinking about his career after golf, which just might include public office.He wants to run for mayor.Ive had a dream, Watson said. I moved back in the city limits of Pensacola [Florida] so one day I can run for mayor.The two-time Masters champion already is building quite the local enterprise at home. Last year he became a part-owner of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a Double A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. This year, he opened a candy shop in Pensacola called Bubbas Sweet Spot, serving up premium candy and ice cream.What American doesnt like chocolate? So for me, it was something fun, Watson said. That really is a kid in a candy store, like everyone talks about. We built it from scratch. That wasnt buying a shop.And he didnt stop there. His latest venture is a car dealership, Sandy and Bubbas Milton Chevrolet (he thinks the new electric car is going to be big), along with a robotics company in Pensacola that makes everything from military equipment to toys.He has invested in a few golf courses, and he is involved in an apartment complex being built in Pensacola.Its funny, I say to my friends, I say to my wife, to my manager, to my team that if you say Bubba Watson the golfer, then youre limiting who I am, who I want to be and who I think I am, Watson said at the HSBC Champions. These other businesses are fun. Golf is fun. The golf is great. But there are other things I want to do. I have other dreams. Golf made it possible. Luckily for me, havent had bank loans. Im able to pay cash for these things.Watson, who defends his title next week in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, has 10 victories worldwide, and his PGA Tour earnings alone top $35 million. Its more than he imagined when he first reached the PGA Tour in 2006.But at 38, with two children, hes approaching a stage in is life when hes starting to think.He has lived in Orlando, Florida, and Scottsdale, Arizona, and North Carolina. He still keeps a home at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. But his future is near his birthplace of Bagdad in the Florida Panhandle, and he wanted to be sure to live in Pensacola to possibly run for mayor someday.To be back home ... my mom works in the candy shop, he said. The excitement around these businesses, the city of Pensacola realizes I love them. They brought me everything I have now. They took time to sponsor sporting events that I participated in. Thats the same thing Im doing. Im trying to help the community grow.So what would he do as mayor? Given a chance for some humor, Watson turned serious.The first thing you do is some form of education, he said. We talk inner city. Its where the most growth can happen, no matter what background you are. But it all starts with education.Ray Lewis Jersey . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise.

Ben Powers Ravens Jersey . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete.FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jesse Ertz and Kansas State rushed to the end of coach Bill Snyders 25th regular season, and to another bowl game.Ertz ran for a career-high 170 yards with a touchdown and Justin Silmon had 133 yards rushing with two touchdowns as the Wildcats won 30-6 at TCU on a drizzly Saturday.We just did what we do. I dont think there was any secret or anything new we threw at them, said Ertz, the junior quarterback who also had an 83-yard scoring pass. Im just looking to go 9-4 and finish out strong.Coach Bill Snyder got his 201st victory in 25 seasons with the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12), who next will play in their 20th bowl game -- the 19th under Snyder. Kansas State appears headed to the Houston Bowl to play an SEC team after winning five of its last six games.To finish it out strong ... get that eighth win, it was very important for us, Silmon said.Kansas State ran for 336 yards, its sixth consecutive 200-yard game on the ground. The Wildcats have 17 rushing TDs their past four games.TCU (6-6, 4-5) will play in its 14th bowl with Gary Patterson, even after finishing the regular season without a winning record for only the third time in the coachs 16 full seasons and being held without a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2006.Really across the board we got thrown around by everybody, Patterson said. Weve got to grow up on offense. Until they do that, we wont win many games against good people.The Wildcats went ahead for good when Ertz broke free for a 32-yard TD run in the second quarter to make it 10-3.Right after halftime, Ertz threw a quick slant to Byron Pringle, who caught the ball near Kansas States 30 and took off sprinting down the middle of the field on the 83-yard catch-and-run score. He escaped a defender diving at his ankles before going the final 20 yards.Simlon had both of his TDs after halftime, including a 5-yard score when he avoided two tacklers in the backfield and then bulled through another defender.I think maybe the second half might have as been as good a half as we have played, Snyder saaid.dddddddddddd Defensively, we played well across the board throughout the ball game.THE TAKEAWAYKansas St.: With Ertz effectively leading the way, the Wildcats continue to pound teams with their running game. Ertz has three 100-yard games and 99 in another in the last six games. Snyder said the Wildcats have gotten better overall each game.TCU: Where has that fast-paced, high-scoring offense gone? TCU hadnt been held without a touchdown in a decade, since a 12-3 home win over Texas Tech in 2006. The Horned Frogs also had only six points in their previous home game -- They had an extra point blocked after a touchdown in a 31-6 loss to Oklahoma State two weeks ago.HE SAID ITWere going to have to grow up or go recruit. Thats what I told them Im doing tomorrow, Im going recruiting. Got to grow up. Cant be shaking your head and putting your head down when you get beat. You got to grow up. Thats what 4-year-olds do. Thats not what men do. You got to grow up. -- Patterson.BETTER THAN PREDICTEDKansas State was the preseason pick to finish eighth in the Big 12. The Wildcats instead finished fourth. Every year it seems like we come out and prove people wrong, linebacker Trent Tanking said.TAKEN AWAYBoth teams thought they had defensive touchdowns. TCU defensive end Josh Carraway scooped up what initially was ruled a fumble by Ertz and returned it 6 yards. Replay overturned the call to an incomplete pass. In the fourth quarter, officials ruled that TCU running back Kyle Hicks forward progress had been stopped before he fumbled and K-State took the ball to the end zone.UP NEXTKansas State and TCU both wait to find out for sure Sunday where they will be going for their bowl games. While the Wildcats will likely return to Texas for their bowl game, the Horned Frogs could also be playing an SEC team in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
