The SEC Trying To Restrict Media Coverage

Posted by srr50 on August 13th, 2009 under Baseball

...or at least restrict those who aren't paying them for the privilege. The Southeastern Conference announced new rules that would restrict media outlets in terms of use of video, audio, photographs and digital descriptions of any and all SEC events, from games to practices and press conferences. After hearing from just about every media outlet outside of their TV partners ESPN and CBS, the SEC has indicated that maybe they were a little quick

Walk in the Run

Posted by BrickHorn on August 6th, 2009 under Baseball

I apologize in advance for the Major League Baseball digression, but what Albert Pujols is doing this year is outrageous and worthy of discussion. The Cardinals' slugger is batting 7-for-9 with 5 HRs and 24 RBIs with the bases loaded this season. That's good for an insane 2.67 RsBI per plate appearance at-bat. Huckleberry had seventeen Cray supercomputers crunch the numbers for a couple of months and eventually determined, via an

Sundry

Guess who crashed into Big 12 Media Day? Sergio won't be suspended, but he vows not to drive and text anymore. Studies have shown that it impairs you. Don't believe me? Here's an authorative bureaucrat: Ditlow said the findings showed that a driver using a cell phone was four times as likely to be involved in a crash as other drivers, while the dangers of texting while driving were

F’ the Chicago Cubs

Posted by Trips Right on July 28th, 2009 under Baseball

In case you missed it, the Astros and the Cubs went at it last night in a rather important NL Central tilt. Budding pitching star Wandy Rodriguez matched perennial all star and uber-douchebag Carlos Zambrano pitch for pitch through 7th. In the eighth, home plate umpire Mike Winter's quick hook on Latroy Hawkins forced Manager Cecil Cooper to bring in stud closer Jose Valverde an inning early. A couple innings prior to

Garrido DUI video released

Posted by HenryJames on July 24th, 2009 under Baseball

Good stuff. Garrido: This will end my career you know. Cop: What will end your career? Garrido: If I have a DUI. Cop: Why would you have a DWI? Garrido: Uh...no reason. Augie with the save! Now that attempted Jedi mind trick might work on stormtroopers and MILFs, but it's not going to work on Rodney Farva. "This isn't the DUI you're looking for." And Garrido: I'm drunk. Cop: You're

Texas To Pac-10 Story Revisited

Posted by srr50 on July 14th, 2009 under Baseball

When Arkansas jumped to the SEC in 1990 the final stage for the demise of the SWC was set in motion. The league had already been doomed by various factors, not the least of which was the unbridled cheating that had been rampant during the 1980's, but the Razorbacks defection sped up the process. Back then Texas was ready to jump to the Pac-10. Again, outside factors stopped that idea in its tracks, and the retiring

in the final Learfield Sports Director's Cup D-1 Standings. It's the award that is given annually to the best overall collegiate athletics program. Actually, its proper name should be the Cardinal Director's Cup since Stanford has won the award 15 years in a row. The Director's Cup, run by the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) is given out to the program with the best post-season success in both men's and women's athletics.

Bad News Bill

Uncredentialed Barking Carnival correspondent Fake Ken Tremendous returns and marks the occasion by getting in his dreamwagon and doing donuts on Bill Little's lawn. - S.R. Just when I think I'm going to get a break from my mean-spirited criticism of Bill Little's cornpone musings, the Longhorns go and lose in heartbreaking fashion in the College World Series. And, of course, Bill pumps out this piece full of strained metaphors, ambiguous

Texas-LSU CWS Series A Ratings Hit For ESPN

Posted by srr50 on June 27th, 2009 under Baseball

The final game of the best 2-of-3 series for the College World Series Championship may not have been close, but the buildup was good enough to give ESPN three of the four highest-rated CWS games ever. The three-game series for the National Championship grew in numbers with each game, until it averaged just under 2.8 million viewers. That was 26% more viewers than last year's Georgia-Fresno State series.

Texas Longhorns Baseball: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Posted by HenryJames on June 25th, 2009 under Baseball

Texas’ two biggest strengths coming into the College World Series were pitching and defense. They had carried a rather anemic offense throughout the year. If you had told me before the series started that Texas would hit fourteen homeruns, I would have told you that we would win it. I never would have guessed that our pitching and defense would let us down. Texas had confidence in six pitchers going into the CWS. That’s usually

    I’m with you that I think USC is vastly overrated this year, and I think they’ll lose two games, and I could defintely see three losses. I disagree though that the Buckeyes will be one of those losses. My reason? USC has a freshman QB. I know that sounds like a strange reason to be

  • scagnetti commented on the blog post USC Reloads, Right? Wrong. 5 hours, 35 minutes ago

    agreed.

    i see losses to Cal, OSU and tOSU, to START.

  • ChrisApplewhite commented on the blog post USC Reloads, Right? Wrong. 7 hours, 16 minutes ago

    I’m with you. Lost a ton off the defense, a true freshman QB in an unexciting scheme, and they have to travel to tOSU.

    They still play in the Pac-10 and will still probably win it, but this’ll be the weakest USC team since 2001 or 02.

    Not this year, at least.

    What I find surprising about USC this season is the sunshine-laden outlook they’ve received from almost any interested party when they’re discussed. ESPN & AP polls say #4. Folks on this site and others think top 5, you can see it in the forums. CFN, the CFB version of

    Stoops’ shenanigans with the media involve one-word answers, complex sentences that deliver little substance and the release of the depth chart.

    He hates the depth chart. Sitting a rocking chair, in the middle of his house, in front of the fire, Stoops cradles and pets his depth chart while finding multiple ways to bastardize its

  • uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops Open Gym Number 2 11 hours, 28 minutes ago

    Agree on Durant. I don’t know shit about basketball, but watching that for three minutes and it’s easy to tell he is far superior to anyone else on the court.

    Also, who is the guy with the longer hair that nails the three at the end?

    And yeah, Pittman looks slim. And if he looks

    if what can best be described as a patchwork offensive line can pass block in tandem (thus keeping Reesing out of the hospital), they win the North. Period. If that doesn’t happen, then look to last year’s Nebraska game for an illustration of how mediocre a great QB becomes without any time to

    One of the Oklahoma papers said that Good was starting at center, but the depth chart says otherwise.

  • Burnt Orange Wookie commented on the blog post Texas Hoops Open Gym Number 2 12 hours, 39 minutes ago

    I have nothing to add really other than agreeing will all on Durant. Watching him play is just a pure pleasure. Seeing his game improve year to year the way it does is legendary. Considering how tall and lanky the kid is I’m absolutely blown away with his handles. Love him. Meanwhile, I can barely

    Chris Brown starts over Demarco Murray and his hamstring.

    Brody Eldridge gets the start at center ahead of Ben Habern and his lower lumbar. No word if Brody is the frontrunner for the Bob Stoops “Whistling past the graveyard award”.

    Brian Simmons starts at LG ahead of Stephen Good and his rotator cuff.
