As one of the Award-Winning Barking Carnival’s resident curmudgeons, it will probably come as a surprise to some of you that I’m actually excitedly looking forward to the upcoming football season. Yes, I expect this to be a bit of a down year for Longhorn football, and yes, I think the season’s most likely outcome […]
In order for me to avoid thoughts of suicide over the summer I have to talk myself into certain aspects of the Longhorn football team.

Latest rumour on the internets and the Austin talk radios is Teh Major to Texas as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
I’ve been told that we’re done with coaching changes this offseason, but something like this has to be true. And if it is, Oklahoma’s record 47-game winning streak will be broken.
In Major’s first […]
How you might ask?
By hiring the greatest coach in football history.
That’s right.
The Major.
Now there are some other candidates thought to be on the short list, and they might be granted courtesy interviews. But it’s The Major’s job to lose.
The Houston Chronicle understands this and headlines their article about the coaching search, UH coaching […]
