When we left off, college football recruiting was relatively violation-free, because there really weren’t any rules to violate. More precisely, conferences set their own rules (I assume independents did as well). Ivy League schools favored no athletic scholarships and no special jobs for players. Big 10 and PCC (precursor of the PAC-10) schools had no […]
Since my wife asked me if I could do something productive instead of just sitting in my Lazy Boy watching ball games night in and night out, (Thank you ESPN Gameplan), I’ve decided to give y’all a recap on some of the better games. Color me productive. And since the Madness is descending […]
Since Orgeron got canned at Ole Miss on November 24th, he has had plenty of time to kill. He signed on to be the New Orleans Saints DL coach in late January.
Yeah, I think it is funny
Everyone knows Big Ed loves to recruit. He even replaced his drinking and tail chasing […]
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 […]
It’s official.
Texas is 1-2 in Holiday Bowls under Brown.
Texas and Arizona State have never played before.
EyesOfTexas’s post regarding the relative lack of upsets in the Texas/Texas A&M series got me to thinking about the line, “You can throw out the records when these two teams play.” Any truth to that axiom for other in-state rivalries? Clearly, it is not true for T+1. See the comments I made […]
I have been as guilty as anyone in getting frustrated with Mack Brown over the course of his 10-year tenure. I’ve even called for his head at several points. I want to say right now that I think those of you who assume we have to resort to a wine-sipping John Mackovic have […]
Well, another kiss your sooner sister last week going 2-2. Overall, 24-20-3, up four units for the year. The writeups this week will be short and sweet, mainly because it’s a big card and I’ve had a very busy week.
Wisconsin -7.5 vs. Indiana. After two disappointing road losses Wisky bounced back in […]
USC coach Pete Carroll says Oregon’s offense is “the best offense we’ve seen probably since we’ve been here.” Really, Pete? How soon we forget. But Oregon’s offense is outstanding.
Oregon ran the spread with current LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton last year, but it was pass heavy. New OC Chip Kelly has a poster of Rich […]
