I was fortunate enough to have attended New Orleans’ Jazzfest over the weekend, and my brain cells have finally regenerated to the point where I’m able to write about it. Three nights at the Old Absinthe House and two mornings of bloody marys at the Chartre House will have that effect on a person.

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 […]
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 […]
The sacred institution of unholy relations took one on the chin last week. Chris Applewhite got his ass dumped.

Vigorously massage them with all your might.
On the Republican side of the aisle, Governor Mike Huckabee lashed back over the weekend by capitalizing on the ineradicable discontent amongst conservative voters by easily winning in Kansas and Louisiana.
Senator McCain will remain the inevitable nominee. The Huckabee victories are unsurprisingly minimized by the vast […]
“Don’t blame the American people! Blame the Democratic Party leadership. Terry McAuliffe is an idiot.” – Zack Exley, 2002
“I ought to be left alone; I’m not doing money anymore. I’m not involved in any campaigns. My wife and I decided I don’t want to do it anymore.” — Terry McAuliffe during federal […]
I thought Reggie’s Bush Heisman was tarnished the day he got it. The best player in the country that season was Vince Young. He proved it to everyone a month later in the Rose Bowl. Hometown writer Kirk Bohls still insists he did the right thing.
I can’t wait to get my […]
