This time it’s former Colorado linebacker Lynn Katoa. Texas recruited Katoa, but he never actually made it to campus for an official visit. That’s too bad. For him.
He’s flunked out of Colorado, according to The Buffzone Blog’s Kyle Ringo, after needing to “apply himself, bear down and focus.” Instead he “did just the opposite.”

“If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.”
That makes Katoa the second Buff linebacker to receive the curse.
One day these guys will learn.
College Football, Colorado Buffaloes, Mack Brown, Mack Brown Curse, You remember Antwan Rockamora?

I really like Cal today.
ATM and Cornell look too good to be true and the public is all over both of them.
I gotta believe that Izzo beats Maryland today, I haven’t been impressed with the Terps this year. I am surprised that they are favored.

I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

What a glorious, glorious day of basketball at the Ford Center Saturday.

It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the

Offense
Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

I’m with you the off season is already old. I’m ready for the season to start. NDS I am completely fascinated by the Tech vs. Lech business. I can’t believe they ran off the guy that put them on the map and subsequently ended up with an arguable upgrade in Tubs.

Got a little time this morning and I’m rearing to talk some football. Here’s what the depth chart looks like headed into spring and a few thoughts:

QB Sr. Taylor Potts/Sr. Steven Sheffield – We’ve all annointed Sheffield as the starter, and I think that’s the case if we continue to run 99% of our snaps

lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.
Wangmene is ‘Manos de Piedra’ redux, so that was really never going to work out.

Unless you’re completely retarded, you know precisely what I meant. The closest any Big 12 team has gotten to winning the infamous Fuller Cup is the 2007 Texas squad. I can’t remember a team being that horribly undisciplined as a whole aside from the insane OU teams of the 80’s. That’s not

I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

Let’s do a statistical analysis to show that the percentage of kids who flame out is no higher if they left Mack hanging than if they were never recruited by Mack at all. On ther hand never mind, just assume it’s true.

Eskimohorn said:

Here’s what my findings have shown-
Likeliness of decommiting from Mack Brown = (Duschebaggery x illegal benefits given to family + level of attention desired)
Therefore, the players that decommit from Mack (who’s a stand-up coach) will usually be of low moral fiber and not successful D1 players. There’s no curse. It’s all scientific.
Now, this formula does not apply to players that switch from another school to UT. These players are usually lied to (Simms, Okam) by disreputable coaches and gravitate towards Mack Brown.
Likeliness of decommitting and then committing to UT = (Duschebaggery of coach x Pi/Player knowing what Pi is).

How low the curse pulls you is proportional to how high your talent level really is. Peterson was truly elite, so the curse could only do so much damage. Lesser lights such as Perrilloux feel its effects much more harshly.
