Former Texas player Andre Jones pled guilty to aggravated robbery today. So that’s the end of that.
He got 30 days, 10 years probation and 340 hours of community service.
I’m sure it was worth it.
His lawyer said that Jones hopes to rejoin the team, but a Texas source quickly put the kibosh on that.
I hear UTEP is looking for defensive tackles.

As much as I hate OU, I feel terrible for Bradford, personally, if this thing is as serious as it’s starting to look. All those millions that he turned down just for an extra year of affection from a bunch of inbreds and cheaters are rapidly evaporating and, once the season is over, Bob won’t

Or third. Or fourth. No idea at this point how many doctors he has seen, but Bradford is currently in Birmingham to see noted surgeon James Andrews.
Smart choice. Andrews is considered one of the preeminent sports orthopedists in the world, and his client list backs it up.
Seems odd that he would consult a another

To be fair, UConn has only been a full D1-A program since 2002, and USF didn’t even have a football program until 1997 and didn’t become full D1-A until 2003.
Fresno State always gets credit for being “giant” killers, but I think they’ve only won the WAC once.

Stopped at a McDonalds once while driving through El Paso. Saw mostly tall piles of rock from the highway though, nothing that looked like a “Downtown”. Was in and out of the place fast, so must be a small city, right?

South ‘06, you’re right as long as the Ags honor the dead by not starting up the bonfire again. If TAMU starts building a bonfire again, I think we can assume that TAMU has stopped respecting the incident, and the victims of it.

Alright, I’ve seen just enough football this season to jump to conclusions. Here are some thoughts:

I think it is interesting to see a lot of these “this would never happen at (insert university here)” statements a lot of fans from other programs have been throwing out. Sure, Mangino and Self should have done a better job of nipping this in the bud but I also thing this well set

I think HJ just wanted to use that famous “too soon” line. I’m fairly certain he was just as upset as the rest of us on that November morning.
Also, that Whitman line was a good retort, and no that one wasn’t too soon.

The line is whack on this. I see blowout, unless Ault smarts up and takes away the deep ball. Last year, he played like a MAN and pressed, putting 7 or 8 in the box. Hope he does that again.

If the crime involved a baseball bat he might’ve had a shot with OU and gotten an extra year of eligibility.

And it only cost us two safeties, a running back and a defensive tackle.
