Texas Hoops vs. Kansas: Post-Mortem

Posted by Trips Right on February 9th, 2010 under Basketball

I have a man crush on Al McGuire, the basketball coach that lead Marquette to its only national championship. The man had an uncanny way of relating to players when he was coaching and to the audience when he was a color commentator for CBS. He’d throw out stuff like:

“I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a

Another night, another would-be hero

Posted by Nickel Rover on February 9th, 2010 under Basketball

Basketball:

Against Oklahoma St., we saw Hamilton rise up. Against Oklahoma Bradley made a heroic effort, against Kansas James contributed his usual 20-10 and J’Covan Brown came out of the woodwork. Again I ask, who is the go-to scorer?

Box score is here. Peter Bean chimes in with his thoughts here. He’s right on in praising the Kansas defense but it’s no surprise when examining their place in the Ken Pomeroy rankings matched against

If we can stop Luke Axtell, we might have a chance.

By the way, Gary Johnson to get the start over Justin Mason per Craig Way on the pregame.

Super Bowl Most Watched TV Show

Posted by srr50 on February 8th, 2010 under Football

More than 106 million persons tuned into Super Bowl XLIV Sunday night, making it the most-viewed program in TV history.

The previous record was set back in 1983 by the “M-A-S-H” finale which was seen by 105.97 million viewers.

In metered markets across the country, the telecast of the Saints win over the Colts averaged a 46.4 rating and 68 share, meaning just under one out of every two homes with a TV set was tuned

Texas Baseball: Team of the Decade

Texas Baseball: Team of the Decade

Baseball America chose their ‘All-2000s team’ and sent voting ballots to every Division 1 baseball coach (150 of which responded). Augie Garrido sent his votes on a cocktail napkin.

Texas was the team of the decade with 32.6% of the vote. Two national championships and two runners up in the decade. Not too shabby.

Garrido was runner up for coach of the decade to

The Briefest of Odes to Jim Gray

Posted by The Hairline of Wade Boggs on February 8th, 2010 under Football

On the way home from a small get together for the Super Bowl, I was tuned in to Westwood One’s post-game coverage. Lo and behold, there was a voice that I had not heard in quite some time, a voice of disdain, smugness, and holier-than-thou all rolled into one tight and wiry package of brooding passive-aggressive behavior.

Yes, Jim Gray was back amongst the living of broadcasters. I always marveled at his

Who dat, imo?

This may sound stupid for any number of reasons but I think this Texas squad will be better next year. One round of objections might go, “well duh Nick, Hamilton and all the young guys will be better.” To this I would agree and add that not only will the younger players be better, but they will own the identity of the team.The other type of objection I would expect, “you think Texas will be

    Importance of Recruiting Rankings by Position

    Now that the recruiting season is over and most Cal fans are waxing poetic about how great these 17-18 year olds will be, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at recruiting rankings as a potential measurement for future success.

    Thoughts? I think that’s a damn good write up.

    Other than that, root for Willie Warren to be healthy because he screws up Oklahoma’s chemistry. Everything else can be found in your report. Maintain contact with Cade Davis on defense and don’t let TMG go buck wild.

    Going into the game you would have thought the battle would have been a classic matchup between West Virginia’s frontcourt and Villanova’s backcourt.

    The only question is which team could impose their will and dictate the mismatch. Villanova might try to do it by pressing and playing up tempo. West Virginia’s

    The staff is actually recruiting pretty well for a man-blocking scheme with guys like Espinosa, Ashcraft, Huey, and so on… of course Texas doesn’t run such a scheme.
