Barking Carnival

Erstwhile Barker Bobby Bragg (Co-Publisher of Burnt Orange Beat ) emailed me today about this event:
“Tee It Up for Cole P” Golf Tournament
Texas Exes Chance Mock, BJ Johnson, Sloan Thomas, and the Pittman family are hosting the First Annual Tee It Up for Cole P Golf Tournament on July 11 in Austin, Texas. All Longhorn [...]

We think Huck will be doing more liveblogging tonight. He may be a bit late starting as he has to work or some shit, but keep an eye out for that.
Also, Bragg let us know that they will be doing an in-game chat, so you can head over there too.
Hook ‘Em!

Sigh.
First this, then this.
I’m still pulling or Vince to figure it out and have success. I think the guy can play. The surprising thing to me is that a guy who seemed so mentally tough in college is actually so much more fragile than it would have seemed. Definitely a function of [...]

h/t to our friend cowboy in the UT Tailgaters Batcave for uncovering this post from SEC land:
Colt and MNC Prediction
Selected quotes:

• Tim Tebow won the 2007 Heisman Trophy. Sam Bradford won it in 2008. Both are still playing college football. Neither will win the 2009 Heisman. Colt McCoy will.
• The national championship game will be [...]

Many thanks to @aTrubow for his updates through the season.

More on the win and the outlook going forward from Huck, HJ, and Scipio.

kevwun asked for a thread on the Coach Cal Memphis situation.
I’ll just put this up as a placeholder until Trips has a chance to opine, though I suspect he’s just going to say don’t go inside the abattoir.
We’ve talked before about the NCAA. Spencer has a great post up here. Coroners [...]

One of my two favorite Longhorns (@TJ_Ford) is on the radio with Gerry Hamilton.

Will post podcast details once available.

The WWL sees more smoke in the vicinity of Watts.
We’ve been keeping an eye on this here and here.
This story is full of insight like:

If Floyd did pay Guillory for delivering Mayo to USC, that would be a major NCAA violation.
Apparently USC general counsel Carol Mauch Amir declined comment, probably because this story sounds [...]

A while back, Scipio took a look at The Wonderful World of Martellus Bennett.
Marty has most recently ventured into short fiction (or has been hanging out with Ken Kesey). One of his most recent blog posts entitled I found them…. is stunning. It is the stuff of legend. I have [...]

While it’s often been noted that Ricky Williams may have been Mack Brown’s first recruit, Bobby Bragg at Burnt Orange Beat has posted a nice story about Mack’s official first commit, Marcus Wilkins.
Marcus will be appearing on tonight’s Longhorn Nation Hour on 1560 The Game at 7PM CDT. Streaming across all your internets here.

I realize this headline may have left many readers assuming Twitter was a nickname for an Indonesian rent boy. Not so. As one of the few that has actually met HenryJames’ girlfriend, let me assure you she is delightful in all respects with the notable exception of taste in men.
At any rate, I [...]

Or a special teams player.
Stumbled upon this site tonight after clicking on one of our ads.
Anyway, check this out. While Joe Avezzano assures you this won’t be a slap-dick operation, I’m not so sure.

As some of you already know, Twitter is the single most important communication medium since smoke signals. It will have a greater effect on humanity than Velcro.
Our friend Peter Bean at Burnt Orange Nation has found himself caught up in a life and death, Ashton Kutcher-style Twitter competition: SB Nation
If he wins, he [...]

Came across this today at Bruins Nation.
The NCAA, apparently looking for economies of scale, has combined the OJ Mayo and Reggie Bush investigations into one giant dragnet trying to get to the bottom of USC’s alleged widespread and systematic corruption.
I’m sensing a vast cover up and stonewalling effort! From the WWL:
The NCAA [...]

From the DMN.
Picture here:

While it was a complete screw job, I think this is weak.

Faithful readers of and irritated visitors to this site are quite familiar with the New York Times - Thayer Evans - Jamarkus McFarland Family ménage à trois of hilarity. For a recap of the situation, please brush-up here.
Today I came across this offering from the Grey Lady - Internets division. Scroll down to [...]

I’m paraphrasing a bit but he did have some comments:
“One-sided stories usually don’t make it when sources aren’t checked on the other side,” Brown said. “The story has absolutely no credibility with me because the writer did the same thing exactly last year and it’s obvious he has an agenda, in my mind, against Texas.”
Thanks [...]

I don’t write at length here very often as I’m not much of a writer, which I will now go to great lengths to demonstrate.
This paucity of creative talent on my part is why we pay the big talent guys like Trips Right and Scipio Tex in beaucoups wampum. Chooky gets paid [...]

Meh.

Congrats to Rak one being named the nation’s best defensive player. Phil Loadholt could not be reached for comment.Texas Sports.
