HenryJames’ favorite new cassettes

Posted by Vasherized on February 11th, 2010 under Uncategorized

HenryJames sent me this post in a coded message via teletype, carrier pigeon, and aborigine courier. Apparently when you get to be a big time blogger you don't have time for dealing with the vagaries of Wordpress. Or maybe he's still just a lazy ass. Just as I finally sorted out this musical riddle meme, a smelly bespectacled editor from Pitchfork.com with requisite whispy facial hair and ironic jeans mysteriously appeared outside my door with

It’s an Eminence Front

Posted by Vasherized on February 2nd, 2010 under Basketball

It’s a put on. Those were the words floating through my mind yesterday after Texas trailed at halftime for the fifth time in the last six games. That, and the conclusion that Eli Manning looks eerily like Pete Townsend circa 1982 with less cocaine.  But what better to way to describe Texas basketball’s freefall from grace than some nostalgic Townsend lyrics from

Texas Football: Mormons and Miners added to the schedule

Posted by Vasherized on January 26th, 2010 under Football

I found out the news on a stone tablet under an oak tree near Belmont. BYU is coming to DKR in 2011 in the second week of the season and the jackhammering mountain choads of UTEP will make the trip to Austin on the same week in 2012. Texas officials will be sectioning off a portion of the upper deck of I-35 for UTEP fans that want to enjoy the game in a

Liveblogging Wednesday Night

Posted by Vasherized on January 20th, 2010 under Basketball

Why you ask? Because it's there. We are the Sir Edmund Hillary of liveblogging. If it's on, we'll blog it. Oxygen canisters are sometimes required but thankfully HenryJames doesn't have cable. Criminal Minds? Bring it, sexual deviants and criminology majors. Modern Family? Bring it, gays and aspiring TV writers. Colorado/Okie State? Get a fucking life and turn on the Baylor/KU game. KU's first half effort against Baylor reminded me of Texas' game at K. State.

Big 12 Hoops: Best in the Land

Posted by Vasherized on January 13th, 2010 under Basketball

Suck it, ACC and Big East. The best hoops is being played in the Big 12 this year. Yes, I realize it's January. Our conference is a collective 113-1 at home this year, which projects to a season total of 226-2! (Face palm, Huckleberry. Face. Palm.) Incidentally, Lane Kiffin has promised USC boosters a similar record in football over his next 18 years at the school. That is unless Fresno State comes through with the right

Bill Little: The Dreamwagon Sputters at the Finish Line

Posted by Vasherized on January 11th, 2010 under Football

PASADENA, Calif. – Almost since the beginning of time, there has been a great debate over “why bad things happen to good people.” Coming this spring from Bevo TV: The Existentialist. There have been books written about it, sermons preached about it, philosophical discussions about it. The great preacher Gerald Mann once said that if he made it to a place called heaven, he wanted to sit on the front row and ask God

Barking Carnival’s Advent Calendar: 18 Days to Bama

Posted by Vasherized on December 20th, 2009 under Football

Ah, the dreamwagon has arrived. I have great memories as a kid punching out the holes in advent calendars knowing there was some savory treat behind each window and it meant one day closer to Christmas.

College Basketball: Texas vs Texas St. open thread

Posted by Vasherized on December 12th, 2009 under Basketball

Tip off at 3 p.m. CST televised on FSSW. Got a pot of venison and elk chili simmering and a 4 pack of Guinness pub draught already talking to me. My manlove for John Wall is approaching unhealthy territory as he diced up Indiana TJ Ford style, finishing with 11 pts / 8 dimes / 6 reb. When he's not going off for 25 points he's making sure his teammates do. A one point halftime lead
