Barking Carnival

There was a brief spat between Stones and Beatles fans in some dark corner of the web where nerds go to feed on the inferiority of the people who disagree with them. You know, that dark corner that makes up 95% of the internet.

Up until the latter half of 2004, I was a pessimist. Our teams never showed direction, our players never developed, and any team with good coaching seems to negate our talent advantages with ease. It peaked with the Washington St. Holiday Bowl, a game that should’ve ended Greg Davis’ career. It remains, to this day, […]

Ahmad Brooks! Bill Radigan! Texas Football on Fox Sports!

The world can be divided into two camps: Those who divide the world into two camps, and those who don’t. I’m in the latter group.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t make distinctions between those whom I’m not dividing into two camps. Take Longhorn Nation, for example. (WARNING: Gross over-generalizations ahead)
On one hand, you have a […]

He’s now making $425,000 a year according to the Statesman. That’s almost twice what I’m getting paid for this blog so there’s at least one person out there who is more overpaid than Davis.
That’s $75,000 more than he earned last year and the same salary as new DC Will Muschamp. Mac McWhorter, Bobby Kennedy and […]

AD: It’s a pleasure to meet you, Coach Davis. I’m excited to find out if you and the Southern Methodist family are a mutual fit.

GD: I’m ready.
AD: Well, obviously, I’m familiar with your background. You’ve […]

That’s what the Statesman’s Kirk Bohls is saying.
According to Bohls, a source ‘close to the Longhorn coaching staff’ told him that Davis has been unofficially contacted by SMU about their vacant head coaching position. And by ’source’ he means Bill Little.
Davis has been with Mack Brown for 12 years now so it’s doubtful that he’s […]

From beautiful Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Texas needs to win this game to keep their BCS hopes alive. Stop laughing.
First and foremost Texas needs to stop the Oklahoma State running game. Easier said than done? Maybe. Would have been nice to have Sergio Kindle for this game.
No idea which Oklahoma State team shows up.

The zone read saved our ass on Saturday, and the coaches are attempting to take credit for something that was dumb luck.
First, how many times are we going to hear the coaches mention that they weren’t prepared for the other team blitzing? At some point the coaches are going to have to expect teams to […]
