Rah, Rah, TCU!
Probably most Longhorns between the ages of 30 and 65 have a hard time not thinking of TCU as a doormat. That’s due to the UT record vs. the Frogs of 27 – 1 from 1968 to 1995. That notion is misleading. TCU has a great tradition in football, and has had long periods of bedeviling Texas. This...

Item 1 How bad was Texas recruiting on the offensive side of the ball from 2006 to 2009? This bad. In that period Texas recruited 40 offensive players, a number 50% larger than the defense had (27). Here is what an offense made up of the best 11 recruits from that era looks like: WR John...

Well. Now that all the air has been sucked out of the room, I’d point out that a few football games not involving Alabama were actually played. Want to hear about them? Great! Enter the Honey Badger. Here’s a holiday tip for Nick Saban. Coach, during the busy Christmas party season always...

Conference re-alignment has not completely dulled my enthusiasm for college football, just partially. Roughly about to the same extent the Transportation Safety Administration has dulled my enthusiasm for air travel. I maintain some appreciation for the theatre of the absurd, like the ten-team Big...
Today's Conference Shuffle Open Thread
Discussion goes here. So far TCU is in and Tulsa World hack Dave Sittler declares there should be two announcements this morning, which leaves one more. UPDATE ON THE SECOND ITEM: Big 12 Board of Directors Action - 6-year grant of rights is approved and will be official pending sign-off by all...

Robert Fulghum did his best to convince us that everything we needed to know we learned in kindergarten. We are supposed to share and take our turn and be kind and, perhaps most importantly, not to take joy in the misfortune of others. College football fans tend to suspend this last one on fall...

Every time the Eagles’ Desperado comes on, it raises my stress level. This happens in some odd places, like behind the customer service desk at my neighborhood grocer where the girls are listening to some soft hits of the 70s and 80s channel. I think it’s called Magic 95.5 in my town, but I...

Whatever happened to Gnarls Barkley? Zach the Eldest and I are listening to the song Crazy on the way to a morning run. It reminded me that I had actually seen Gnarls Barkley at ACL Fest years ago. I figured they had the one hit and sort of faded into oblivion. Music to me seems very disposable in...
RGIII and Baylor Killing the Horned Frogs ... oh wait, it's Baylor
17/20/323 with 5 TD passes halfway through third quarter. 15 straight completions. Kendall Wright torched the Horned Frogs in the first half with 8/159/3TD(2rec, 1 pass). 47-23 Baylor. The Casey Pachall era has not gotten off to a good start for the Horned Frogs.
The Week That Will Be -- 9.03.2011
What we learned this off season... We learned that you can ride on a yacht and party with strippers and get a one game suspension, but you trade in an autographed glove and you’re getting five games. Nice consistency, NCAA. We learned that Texas A&M has self-esteem issues that will only be...
