The Big 12 had its worse draft ever. Even Mike Reinfeldt and Jeff Fisher think so. It took 36 selections before the second Big 12 player was drafted. This is from a conference with four of Top 10 in the final AP rankings. Pathetic.

Powerhouse programs like Troy, Vanderbilt, Delaware, and Tennessee […]

Former Alabama defensive coordinator Joe Kines was in College Station yesterday according to the Houston Chronicle. Why? To interview for the A&M DC position. Duh.
I’m guessing the interview went something like this:

Memorandum
To: Hollywood
From: Scip E.O. Tex, Internet Provocateur
CC: God Loving Free World
Date: This very instant
Re: You are destroying America, motherfuckers

Dear Hollywood,
You’ve gone and done it now. This is war. WAR!
At what point during your Hotel Bel-Air mid-wine flight post-synagogue movie pitch to Harvey Weinstein did you get the idea that Joe Willie […]

EyesOfTexas’s post regarding the relative lack of upsets in the Texas/Texas A&M series got me to thinking about the line, “You can throw out the records when these two teams play.” Any truth to that axiom for other in-state rivalries? Clearly, it is not true for T+1. See the comments I made […]

In Nick-speak, that means fuck you for asking, Mr. Reporter.
The question asked was why did DJ Hall play in the second half after Saban released before the game that he was out for the entire game after violating unspecified team rules. It might have been because you were in a dogfight at halftime at […]

I have been as guilty as anyone in getting frustrated with Mack Brown over the course of his 10-year tenure. I’ve even called for his head at several points. I want to say right now that I think those of you who assume we have to resort to a wine-sipping John Mackovic have […]

It’s been an emotional week for Alabama coach Nick Saban. He has to play his former team on Saturday. The team with which he won a national championship. The team he left for the NFL. And the team that now hates his guts for returning to coach another team in the same conference.
So he sort […]

I didn’t need an Alabama player to confirm what I already know, but The Major could still play Div 1.
“Yeah, he can still bring it — he can still make all the throws,” Crimson Tide receiver Matt Caddell said.
Not only can he make all the throws, but there are some throws that only he can […]

Major Applewhite is the greatest offensive coordinator ever, and people are starting to notice.
Applewhite was instrumental in Alabama’s blowout win over Tennessee last Saturday. And by ‘instrumental’ I mean the sole reason. Stupid jerk Nick Saban didn’t do anything. Quarterback John Parker Wilson (or is it John Wilson Parker? Parker John Wilson?) tied a […]

As the college season makes the turn for the home stretch, it is clearly time to start talking about who gets whacked — particularly given this weekend’s Battle of the Buyouts in Lincoln. This year’s coaching carousel seems destined to be as bloody as the last 6 episodes of the Sopranos.

Yeah, I’ll fucking […]
