Barking Carnival

Another day, another woman with whom Roger Clemens has had an affair.
This time the New York Daily News is reporting that ’sources’ have told them that Clemens had an affair with John Daly’s ex-wife, Paulette Dean Daly.
They met at the Bob Hope Classic where she worked as a ‘Classic Girl.’ The tournament is […]

Longhorn junior Ken Kasparek pitched a no hitter tonight against Texas State.
The junior righthander struck out nine and only allowed one batter to reach base.
It was the 20th no hitter in Texas baseball history, and the first since Adrian Alaniz no hit Oklahoma in 2005.

According the the New York Daily News, Roger Clemens carried on a decade long affair with country singer Mindy McReady that started when she was fifteen. They met in a karaoke bar which totally makes sense if you’ve ever heard McReady sing.

The Shocker. You’re doing it wrong.
Clemens admits that they have a relationship, but […]

Man, we can’t even excel at sucking. That honor, according to Forbes, goes to Atlanta, though it looks increasingly like Seattle will be passing them in the next couple of months. With the Rockets about to succumb to the McGrady phenomenon once again, and the Astros winding up for a truly hideous summer, we might […]

And so we have officially entered the “Dead Zone” of the sports year.  Spring football ended a couple of weeks back for the only program we care about.  College basketball ended for our guys on the same day, after one of the most successful seasons a Longhorn roundball team has experienced.  The baseball team is […]

It won’t be announced until later, but Skip Johnson’s job as pitching coach at The University of Texas ended yesterday in Missouri. You don’t give up a school record 31 runs and survive. You just don’t.
Some perspective is in order. In twenty games against the Missouri football team, the Longhorns have only given up more […]

Wait, what? That’s a baseball score? We had a 9-1 lead, and turned it into a 31-12 loss? I thought our baseball team was nationally ranked - weren’t we #10 in one poll this week?
In case you’re wondering, the 31 runs scored by Missouri were the most ever surrendered by a Texas […]

I’m glad you asked.
I’ve been to five home games this year, and Texas has lost each one. They’re 21-5 in games I haven’t watched so there is the possibility that I am a jinx. But that’s crazy talk.

‘I believe in science.’
Let’s start with the pitching. The team ERA was 4.01 going into this weekend’s series […]

The College Baseball Hall of Fame came into existence just three years ago, and already baseball rich Texas has six members. Pitching is the cornerstone of this program, so it is only right that two UT pitchers Burt Hooton & Greg Swindell go in with Billy Disch in the 2008 class.
They join […]

So I finally made it over to the Disch to watch the two weekend games against Stanford.
Game 1 Stanford 6 Texas 5
Stanford got the leadoff man on base six times.
Kyle Russell got ejected in the 4th for arguing a called strike three.
Ken Kasparek threw well, but he seems to lose his concentration and […]
