The season started for real last night after four games that felt like an NFL pre-season. This was true not just for the good guys (that would be the Texas Longhorns) but for the entire Big 12 Football Conference.
The results of the games were no surprise at all. The only thing that came close was […]
In a speech before the American Enterprise Institute during the stock market boom in 1996, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan cautioned that much of the rise might be due to what he then sensed was a growing bubble in stocks related to the high tech industry. A few years later that bubble burst, and the nation’s economy […]
Saturday, September 27, 2008 - Texas 52, Arkansas 10
Our football team is getting better by leaps and bounds, and the first play from scrimmage yesterday exemplified one major reason why. On that play, Arkansas attempted a little reverse, and Brian Orakpo, rather than following the initial fake and running himself out of the play as defensive […]
1.) Act like a smug dick no matter what.
2.) Prior to kickoff allow your team to do the “logo pogo” on road games, which is the basic foundation of being a dick.

I have done a complete 180 on this issue. When oil man Tex Pitfield suggested that Georgia governor Sonny Perdue call off the UGA - Alabama game to save gas, I like many others scoffed at the thought. After all, this was a huge game in the SEC, a boom to the local […]
With Tech not on the tube, I had the opportunity to DVR the Texas game and do a little scouting of the enemy. I didn’t really focus too much on schemes and playcalling, but merely wanted to see the talent the 2008 Longhorns were rolling out. I only picked up at the start of the […]
Since I was limited to radio transmission only, I couldn’t tell a whole lot about this game except that it sounded like we kicked their ass. And the box score would seem to confirm that. So instead, I want to focus a little bit more on trends and where this team is at as we […]
The fat man fell to Florida once again on Saturday and the Volunteer faithful are not happy. After last year’s blowout in Gainesville, the Vols had a lot to prove on Saturday in Knoxville. What they proved is that the Tennessee Volunteers are a program in decline.
Everyone pile on…..now!
We begin with […]
Voting in a weekly poll means having to rank teams that you invariably haven’t seen play, at least in the early weeks. This was no more apparent for me than last night when I got to watch West Virginia play for the first time this year.
I think I had West Virginia in my initial Top […]
