Man-for-man this is the best recruiting class signed under Mack Brown and the best Texas defensive class signed in the last three decades.

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

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

There is no tomorrow for Texas Longhorns Basketball.

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

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

If we can stop Archie Manning and Katrina, we’ve got a chance.

First off, I wanted to address Fran Fran’s frothing of the mouth about Jordan Hamilton.

I don’t think he’s watched Texas play more than a handful of times so he doesn’t understand the problems our team has with scoring the ball in the halfcourt. Yes, Jordan shoots a lot, but in the context of lacking efficient scorers or or 60% foul shooters, I can’t really blame Hamilton for playing aggressive. In the

I really don’t have the inclination to hash the game out for those didn’t watch it.

At this point the team isn’t worth a lot of effort.

Anyway, just open up a boxscore and you’ll get the picture. We shot the ball poorly. From everywhere. Especially the foul line, where we were an embarrassing 10-27. Say that out loud. Ten for fucking 27. Some teams go

3 for X early. Bad news if he’s hot. Good news if he goes into Jordan Hamilton mode and still cold.

Huge early foul on Aldrich. Rick cites that he subbed Gary because Mason was being sagged off of. No shit rick.

GJ just drew a foul on 360. That probably happened a minute ago in real time.

I’m convinced that ESPN does this shit on purpose to drive hits to ESPN360.com

I do mean 5:45 Central Time, by the way.

Again, why don’t Big East games start at 6:45? It took three minutes to play 11 seconds (as I type, another foul is called).

Kevin Jones almost airmailed a FT but Ebanks got the putback. Down 7 with 43 secs left. WVU has one more timeout. ESPN360 still in standby.

Loved watching Nate Rob play although I kind of like UW. They have another scoring midget in Isaiah Thomas. Not the Florida Atlantic coach.

Big East ball was fun to watch in the Ray Allen/Iverson days.

Naturally as I submit that, WVU gets an And 1 on a 3. Down 5 with 2 to play. ESPN360 is a likely possibility.
