Huckleberry commented on the blog post That Silly Away Goals Rule   ago

That’s quite a stretch to view the away goals rule as a harkening to the territorial origins of the game. The game is now split between matches taking place entirely in one town or the other.

The rule is a bad one, IMO. You don’t even have to take it to its logical extreme

There is no question as to why Baylor is favored to beat Texas tonight – they are two teams on completely different paths since January, and Baylor is coming off perhaps its most impressive win of the year, the dunk-filled dismantling of Texas on Saturday. A Baylor fan should feel confident about tonight’s game, how

Ronaldo = Johnny Weir.

Nothing pleases me more than watching Real Madrid lose. Except watching Chelsea lose. But whatever, I won’t quibble. I loved it.

Truth is truth. You can’t just flat-out buy an entire team of super-stars. There is only one ball to go around.

Baylor hasn’t beaten Texas three times in the same season since 1981-82. Can we break that streak tonight?

Rather than some esoteric discussion of the relative merits of each team, I think it’s relevant to do a quick look at the stats from our first two matchups.

Baylor 80, @Texas 77 (OT)
Baylor: 28-64 (43.8% FG), 3-12

A&M had its pro day this week and it was a damning reminder of where the exiled regime left this program. Not one A&M football player was invited to the 2010 NFL Combine. Pro day featured a depressing cluster of Fran recruits clinging to the dream of earning a living in the NFL.

His hair really is getting ridiculous… he’s having a case of the Beckhams.

As far as his play, he just couldn’t take over the match like we’ve seen him do, but his supply was weak as well, with Higuain missing his late runs to the far post multiple times. He found space, but wasn’t

If the season ended today, the Spurs would be in a tie for the 7th seed in the Western Conference with the Portland Trailblazers.  With the Grizzlies only 3.5 games back, there is not much room for error down the stretch.  And unfortunately, there are a lot of land mines ahead.

The Spurs have 20 games left

Over $300 million spent, zero improvement.  Real Madrid brought in two world players of the year to usher in a new Galactico era and win the European title, but it was Lyon’s committed teamwork and diligent defending that sees the French champions through to the quarterfinals.

Not sure what Ronaldo’s doing here, but we do know

I’ll comment on that game. The Ags didn’t quit because, unlike their customary curb-stomping against K-State and OU, they actually had some early success where they scored on a broken coverage. Secondly, no doubt, Jerrod Johnson was on fire. If he plays like that every game next year, the Ags are going to be tough

Mike Davis and Darius White play a position that Texas has up to five of on the field on any given play. Malcolm Brown and Hershel Sims play a position That UT that hasn’t had more than one of on the field since the early 80’s.

Even with the great class we’ve already signed I’m going to be really worried if Malcolm Brown doesn’t come to the 40 acres. Expecting more than one of the elite four in the state is just hubris. Why would a kid come and compete with another one of the elite four when he

“Bradford was able to do so well by having one eye concerned with the question he was currently answering while having his other eye pre-read the next one.”

If they ever do a movie of Richard Pryor’s “Mudbone” stories, Bradford can play “Cockeyed Junior.”

Good previews.

I think you guys coast to a double digit win over Tech.

We should be able to guard Corn better than Mizzou did thus giving them tougher shots.

The evening games should be good viewing. I like Okie Lite in the upset over K-State. I also think the Baylor guards guide the Bears to
