The Big 12’s Nightmare Draft

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 […]

Charles and Finley file NFL draft paperwork

The Dallas Morning News reported that ‘two sources close to the players’ indicated that both Jamaal Charles and Jermichael Finley have filed the necessary paperwork to see where they’ll be drafted.
Mack Brown said that all Texas’ underclassmen have told him they’ll be returning, and my gut feeling is that both Charles and Finley will […]

Jamal Charles releases statement after being tortured

You have to hand it to our coaches. They know how to break a player. After questioning Jamal Charles both publicly and privately, they’ve now gotten him to take the majority of the blame for our inability to design a running game that suits him. Bravo.

‘The holes have always been there, Jamal!’
Once Charles […]

Texas Football: Nebraska Post-Mortem

I have a work colleague whose husband is a manager at the Venetian in Las Vegas. It might surprise you then, classy joint that the Venetian is, to learn that it is the site of the prestigious Adult Video Awards. Aside from the enjoyment of seeing porn stars being led through the lobby […]

Liveblogging Texas versus Nebraska

Mack Brown going for his 100th win at Texas. That’s 1 conference championship for every 100 victories. Or 1 conference championship equals 100 wins in dog years.
Still showing the end of Colorado at Tech. Tech trying to prevent their 2nd straight loss. Colorado trying to prevent their 3rd straight.
Bill Callahan is not to be outdone. […]

In Defense Of Jamaal Charles

There are a couple big debates over on hornfans™ about our running game and Greg Davis. Wade through all the nonsense if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it, on account of my not wanting to see this site’s readership die off of forehead vein explosions. The main topic in most of them have come […]

Liveblogging Texas against Baylor

I’m doing what?
This will be a slaughter, but hopefully it will give us a chance to see some of the secondary packages duane Akina will use against Texas Tech.
Fittingly sponsored by Hampton Inn and Keystone Light, the cornerstone of any weekend in Waco.
We have Chris Ogbonnaya returning kicks. Seriously.
Conscious effort to get the ball […]

How exciting!
Current weather forecast for Ames says 53 degrees and raining.
Current football forecast for Iowa State says 85 players and sucking.
Corn fed chicks. Too bad you can’t make meth out of corn.
Random shot of some swans walking down a sidewalk. The Ames Board of Tourism wants you to believe it’s just like Paris.
