First, I am very thankful that, for the most part, the Texas guys don’t do the hat bullshit.

Why Texas Stomps a Mudhole in Alabama

Posted by CloseToJumping on January 6th, 2010 under Football

For the third consecutive game in a row, the collective Texas fanbase has wrung its hands and bawled all over itself in anticipation of a dangerous matchup against a worthy opponent.

DJ Monroe & Christian Scott Eligible for Title Game

Posted by CloseToJumping on December 21st, 2009 under Football

Mack has reported it at his press conference. Halliburton is there, so if you need a "source", it isn't up on TexasSports yet, but it's up at her Twitter: @suzhalliburton and Inside Texas is also there and reporting it. This is good news for us. Scott can help out on Special Teams after practicing with the team all year. It would be idiocy not to have him unleashed on coverage teams. He was great there

Why Texas Stomps a Mudhole In Nebraska

It’s all over the Internet, radio, and television that “Nebraska has more than a puncher’s chance going up against Texas this weekend.” Etc. Hell, you can find it on our own boards. The Sooner and ATM boards are begging for a Nebraska victory. Have we

The Iron Bowl & Gene Chizik

Posted by CloseToJumping on November 27th, 2009 under Football

When Gene Chizik coached our defense, they normally looked a lot like they did last night. I didn’t hate the guy in ways that were unhealthy, but Scipio and Chris Applewhite certainly did.

Why Texas Stomps a Mudhole In TAMU’s Ass

Posted by CloseToJumping on November 24th, 2009 under Football

It never fails. We march through an entire season’s schedule like a rolling ball of butcher knives, as we have this season. Yet, inevitably, some of the mouthbreathers within our fanbase will still find a way to make an appearance at some point on the schedule to tell us all why we really should fear “Team XYZ”. Making matters worse for any of us with any sanity about what we’ve seen from this team, these

Darius White to Visit UT This Weekend?!?

Posted by CloseToJumping on November 17th, 2009 under Football

Gerry Hamilton is a wizard. In case you hadn't heard, the guy is at ESPN now and he is breaking actual news, compared to some of the other drivel and innuendo being released by unrelated parties. I found the story on ESPN somewhere, but I know the guys at InsideTexas.com are running with it, as they're also part of the ESPN family. White's visit is huge and means there's been a turnaround in his
