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

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.

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.

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

Christian Scott is now backing up Earl Thomas while Nolan Brewster is now backing up Blake Gideon. No controversy!
Our depth at defensive tackle is thinner than Scipio’s little black book.
Mason Walters is starting out at guard.
Mark Buchanan of Austin High is 2nd team right guard. If a player from Austin High starts for Texas, the magnitude of suck will be so strong that the program will collapse into itself like a dying star.

I thought I read somewhere that Nolan Brewster would be getting a try at LB.
Ben Wells behind Gideon and Brewster make about as much sense as our nation’s financial sytem management.
I hate the off-season. Although, that’s the only time of the year when I get any real work done.

Seems like Mack will let a player stay at his position of choice until, essentially, the player realizes the error of his ways. Then the coaches gently suggest a move to the spot THEY want him to play.
Also, staff will sometimes move somebody after the first half of spring drills. Not usually anybody who would play at his old or new position.

I can maybe live with Beasley as a nickel, but Williams passing him to take the majority of the snaps at CB is the best thing on this chart.
Unless it’s a designated White Safety spot, Brewster as second team behind Gideon is a non-starter. A spin to LB might mean he can at least contribute as a somewhat meaningful back-up before he graduates. But I’m not seeing it in the secondary.
Roberson doesn’t strike me as a LB; one to watch to see how it plays out.

I’ll echo moving Trey Allen to G.
Mysterious – let’s not go down the path that ends with a discussion of the TE coaching position at Texas. That spot was designated to turn over regularly, bringing young coaches/new blood through the program. Instead we hired a HS coach who being no one’s dummy quickly realized this was the best gig he was ever going to get. Since he’s a loyal dude and shows up to work on time, Mack ain’t going to pull the trigger.
Actually I don’t think he’s done a bad job. Just wasn’t planned for him to be a lifer, and I think we’ve lost something in the trade.
Horncasting said:
February 26th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Read somewhere that Walters would start at guard to get him on the field early and that he would then move to tackle – possibly as early as 2010 depending on how much Allen develops.
Nordberg said:
February 27th, 2009 at 6:53 am
So in other words, Walters will be at tackle in 2010.
DJ said:
February 27th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I think Earl Thomas as starting Nickel back is interesting. Seems to imply a nickel group of Brown (Ch. or Cu.), Christian Scott, Gideon, Williams, and Thomas. Since nickel was pretty much our base set that would put Christian Scott on the field for a bunch of plays.
