Freshman defensive back Marcus Davis was arrested in Pearland on Saturday and charged with possession of a controlled substance.
This may bode well for Texas in the national championship game because typically this shit happens only after you win the title.

I am buying NCAA tourney credit default swaps insuring I cash out Mark Burry style HUGE when Butler knocks off UTEP in the first round.
This looks like a fucking NIT bracket compared to KU’s region.

I find it hard to pick against a Cuse team just because it lost its final two games to (1) a pumped up Louisville team on Senior Day in the last game at Freedom Hall and (2) a solid Georgetown squad that made it to the Big East Final and had also lost its prior

I agree with your first two points 100%. We have to land Ratliffe, and fortunately there seems to be some good news on that front. I read that he canceled his remaining official visits after coming to Arkansas and then going through Alabama on his way back to Florida. The Hogs have the biggest need

Here’s a concern for Kindle other than the pubs. I still think he compares well to Anthony Spencer of Dallas….
Texas OLB/DE Sergio Kindle registered an unimpressive 10-yard split at the Combine at 1.65 seconds.
Some scouts reportedly had Kindle at 1.70 seconds. Kindle’s forty time (in the 4.65-4.71 range) was impressive, but he doesn’t have

Are you sure about the 1.89 ERA? If you got this number from TexasSports.com STATS page, they haven’t updated for Sunday’s shutout yet. The STATS web intern is probably on spring break.

Go west young man. There’s gold in them there hills, which probably sits well with the 12th seeded UTEP Miners.
There’s little resistance in this bracket relative to the other regions and that should sit well with the Syracuse Orangemen. At least it should if the Orange are healthy.
If not, meaning Arinze Onuaku the aircraft

I have to agree with 3_from_the_corner.
I’ve absolutely hated the way we’ve looked against zone defenses. We don’t have anyone that can just kill it from the outside (Hamilton maybe, but he’s on the bench more often than not). Kentucky’s offensive efficiency is about on par with ours, so it could turn into a defensive struggle.

Nobody likes Posada. His mid game arguments with Jose Contreras were legendary and entertaining to watch. Stottlemeyer used to have to go out to the mound just to get them to on the same page.

Texas has been the most consistent team in the Big 12. Outside of a terrible game against Oklahoma and a great game against Nebraska, we’ve played about the same, game in and game out. We’re consistently bad away from home, and mediocre against tournament-quality teams (KU, KSU, Baylor). Guess what? There are no home games

Patrick, I think your assessment on Clausen is pretty much on. He won’t be throwing at his pro-day so he may slip a bit as a result. One thing I think he does have going for him that I haven’t heard much mention of is that he is very tough, and extremely competitive.

Good call BateMan, my brackets have been burned by Syracuse before. The abundance of 3 pt. attempts in the tournament makes the 2-3 teams somewhat vulnerable to a hot shooting performance.
It’s probably best to make sure they don’t draw a team of white 3 pt. bombers in the early rounds before advancing them in the

Burnett really likes his curveball and throws it a lot. It can be really wicked, and you have to have a good defensive catcher to catch it. So I think Posada calls for more fastballs because he can handle them easier.

I love the response from people when these kids make mistakes. Kick them off the team! Yada Yada. Do you realize these guys are kids and make mistakes. Our fanbase has a lot of people who never seem to make mistakes. If he is in possession of cocaine, that’s one thing, but if its marijuana that’s another. Should he be punished? Absolutely. But our fanbase wanted DJ Monroe kicked off the team for DWI and now this kid for possibly having marijuana in his possession.
Again, they are kids and are experimental and have to learn lessons of life. That’s a part of growing up. I don’t endorse it and I certainly wouldn’t tolerate what happened at Tennessee or earlier events with Joseph and Jones, but come on people. Can you imagine if we had taken this stance with Houston, Griffin, Harris, Brown, Kindle, etc. Punish them and let them learn a lesson and continue to mature as kids. Our holier than thou approach by some in our fanbase is comical.

We can’t stop kids from occasionally getting their lean on. Especially if they are hanging out in Pearland. God knows that casual narcotic use and the suburbs go hand in hand, like Mike Gundy and hair gel, or Mangino and thirds, or Stoops and Tiger Beat magazine.

Y’all should all relax. I only got arrested for about 1/10000th of the things I should have been arrested for when I was 18. So I never feel good about anyone else getting popped. And unlike some of you — Ransom — I refuse to be anti-party. If you are 18 and playing D-1 ball for UT then you had better be partying, but it’s unlikely to ever get better.

When ya’ll talk about the great Austin lifestyle in recruiting, for what do you think these kids are coming to UT? It ain’t to run on the hike and bike trail at Lake Lady Bird, enjoy a festival on South Congress, and take in the bats. It’s for the poon and partying.

Kilgore – the Heisman curse has only be perpetrated in the 2000s. In 1990-1999, only four of the ten Heisman winners lost in their final bowl game; in the 2000s (so far) it has been 7/9.

No, these are not “kids.” They’re adults. Perhaps not very wise, and often ignorant as a bag of rocks, but they’re adults and should be treated as such.
His punishment should be whatever is appropriate under team rules. Perhaps he shouldn’t be kicked out of school, but there’s obviously got to be some team penalty.
He’s embarrassed himself, his team and his school.

They are college students who will make mistakes. I’m amazed at the holier than thou attitude of people in our fanbase. Should he be punished yes, but to talk about kicking people off the team is a bit ridiculous.

I concur with the sentiment that he should be dealt with in line with team rules. He should be given a chance to make good. It does him no good to be dumped on his ass if it’s not a Ramonce type situation.
Embarassing, he sits the rest of the season, completes some sort of education program, and life goes on.
I, also, am glad I was not caught for any of the dumb stuff I did in college.
