Calvin Howell commits to Texas

The San Antonio Warren DT committed to Texas today. Big get for Texas at a need position. Howell has offers from OU, LSU, Nebraska and Tennessee among others.
No game footage that we can steal (yet), but here is some grainy footage of “MY NIGGA CALVIN AKA “BIG C” BREAKS SCHOOL RECORD 405LBS WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY […]

Jeff Fisher Addresses Draft Critics

I’d like to thank everyone for coming, we’ve had some time to look at guys in organized drills and process some of things we were able to do in the draft and free agency, and we feel pretty good about where we are as a football team right now. Vince will be available a little […]

ESPN breaks the story that Mike Leach is eccentric

The Worldwide Leader must have had this gem ready for any slow day (i.e. no salicious Roger stories broke). There is nothing new (Leach likes pirates), save maybe some new pictures.

“The object was to get a treasure. If the captain did a bad job, you could just overthrow him.”
That means win a championship.
I did […]

Mr. College Football’s Top 10

I’m a big fan of Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Really knows his shit. He released his preseason Top 10 yesterday on his blog.
1. Georgia (11-2 last season, 8 offense, 9 defense)
2. USC (11-2, 4 offense, 7 defense)
3. Missouri (12-2, 6 offense, 10 defense)
4. Florida (9-4, 8 offense, 8 defense)
5. Ohio State (11-2, 9 […]

Mack vs Mack

So Chip Brown of the Dallas Morning News said on his radio show yesterday something to the effect of ‘John Mackovic’s best players would be Mack Brown’s best players.’
Now I didn’t listen to the show because I think people who listen to sports radio are even more despicable than people who read blogs. Except the […]

Mack Brown is well endowed

Mack Brown is getting a chair endowed in his name. The University of Texas is going to endow the Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs to be part of the university’s Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law.
Global Affairs? Dude doesn’t even recruit out of state. Why not the […]

Gee Wiz

Wonder who in college football is opposed to a playoff system? Look no further than Ohio State.
President E. Gordon Gee, athletic director Gene Smith and head coach Jim Tressell are all opposed to a playoff, and they think the current system is fine. It’s actually not just them, but pretty much everyone in college football […]

Cedric Benson forgets that black people can’t swim

Former Texas running back Cedric Benson got himself arrested on Lake Travis last Saturday. He was charged with operating a boat while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
An LCRA officer performing a routine safety inspection found an intoxicated Benson driving the boat and not wearing a life jacket. Dumb.

Looks drunk to me.
The arresting officer reported that […]

Vince Young: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

While at Texas, Vince Young helped fill up the trophy case, and even today he continues to help fill up the pocket book of the Horns.
The Collegiate Licensing Company oversees the sale of University merchandise for most of the major BCS schools, and they announced recently that Texas led the second quarter of the 2007-08 […]

Mack Brown curse claims latest victim.

Ryan Perrilloux has finally been kicked off the LSU football team.
LSU head coach Les Miles said that Perrilloux “didn’t fulfill his obligation as an LSU student-athlete.” What those obligations were are left to the reader’s imagination.
He’s just the latest in a long line of players, particularly quarterbacks, who have suffered career setbacks after […]
