Ty Warren doesn’t understand economics
Posted by HenryJames on March 18th, 2010 under Football
So former Aggie and current New England Patriot Ty Warren has decided to forego his $250,000 offseason workout bonus to instead stay home and attend college classes.
"I try to put the kids in the best educational system possible and I think there is something to be said for their father, who has been blessed to play in the NFL and do something he's loved to do, going back and finishing what he started," said Warren.

Bush Paves the Way for Henderson?
Posted by Patrick Bateman on March 15th, 2010 under Football
Are we really surprised? Today, reports are swirling that Seantrel Henderson, a five star recruit, the #2 overall recruit by Rivals, and future knight of the roundtable, will finally make it official in the coming weeks and actually sign his LOI with everyone's favorite left coast juggernaut, USC. Why is this relevant? He was expected to sign there. Well, for two reasons:
1. This may be an indication of the paddy cake that the

So Scipio did a great job on introducing us to our ACC counterpart and robbing me of an easy morning column. A great read though, it sounds like they are in Texas' wheelhouse since it isn't at Wake. You can see the whole bracket here.
Obviously Kentucky is the 2nd opponent and I don't think there's any way Texas beats them. Mason or Bradley would need to stay on Wall the entire game because

Basketball:
The Baylor game pretty well sapped me of any hope of this bunch beating a legitimately good team. They're gonna go down like Leonidas vs. a hail of 3 pointers.
For much of the season Texas was ahead in the Ken Pomeroy efficiency ratings based on their defense. Now we've seen that defense crumble and the current rankings reflect a team that is even more devoid of identity with the 28th ranked offense and 27th

Nick Saban to the SEC: WTF?
Posted by srr50 on March 12th, 2010 under Football
Alabama took a look at their 2010 football schedule, and what do you know? The last six SEC teams on their schedule all get a bye week before playing the Crimson Tide.
'Bama's schedule is as follows:
10/9 at South Carolina
10/16 Mississippi

Quandre Diggs committed to Texas last night. The commitment was reported first by Sir Gerry Hamilton of ESPN.
Texas' offer was his 25th.
Free article over at InsideTexas.
The Texas offer was the 24th offer for Diggs who was also courted by Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas A&M among many others. Florida, Georgia and USC were

Mack’s practice thoughts
Posted by Nickel Rover on March 10th, 2010 under Basketball
Football:
I wasn't paying attention to the defensive line so somehow I failed to notice Mack's current leaning towards Sam Acho as your starting 3-tech in 2010. I had assumed Jones, Sacho, Okafor and Randall as the 4 best linemen but I forgot that Sacho was the one who moved inside last year in passing situations.
He's really a sacrificing leader if he's willing to switch to tackle in his senior year when he's poised to

Colt McCoy: Smarter Than An Apostle, Dumber Than An Okie

Prescient comment, Doc.
I think we learned today that no team is really a mirror image of Missouri, even if Clemson is about as close as it gets. Unless you have significantly better/more talented athletes, if you try to run with the Tigers, you will lose. This team is so much fun to watch in games

Good to see that Tom Penders still believes in the weave offense. Maryland finally figured out that if you pass quickly, the middle is always open.
37-29 Maryland late in the first half.

Kansas State is going to be under a lot of pressure tomorrow night in primetime at the Ford Center.
Not only are the Wildcats the favored #2 seed going against #7 seed BYU, but if the Wildcats lose, they may sentence hundreds of boys to nonstop harassment from all the kids who think that “Jimmer” was

We came up short.
Credit to Georgia Tech they worked the ball inside where they had the advantage and played great D on the perimeter. Matt Pilgrim is the most athletic big man we’ve had in years around here and he was irrelevant. When we tried to drive they collapsed like Chris Farley on a

Doc, the turnovers seemed to do the trick – there were great big chunks of time when Mizzou didn’t even have to get into a half court offense.
Great to see Ramsey have such a good game and pretty stifle Booker. As Euclid said during the game, even when Mizzou doesn’t play well

“Also because those other teams gave great effort almost every game. This team’s effort was questionable. Dumb and lazy, not a good combo…..”
This is what made this season so bizarre for me. This has never been a problem for Barnes’ teams. But I actually questioned this team’s heart and desire to play together

Travis Ford spent the 2nd half channeling his inner Rick Barnes — lot’s of standing around on offense while one player tries to generate something off a ball screen — then taking a forced shot.
So the Big 12 goes 5-2 in Round One.

This is the worst coached team ever in Barnes era. Period.
Worst defense over the whole season,
Offense sucked big time and the bench coaching was horrible, ransom’s attitude was better then the coach’s overall this season.
Trips write up pre and post better then the game plan and O schemes.

advertisers think they will probably get some deals for the additional 32 games that would be added. The feeling is that an ESPN would disount rates somewhat, since they already have a dual revenue stream — advertising dollars and subscription fees.
It’s all about content for ESPN — even mediocre content.

In the midst of March Madness, St. Patrick’s Day, house guests, nice weather outside and a host of other distractions I still managed to come across quite a few interesting college football stories this week. Here we go.
Mike Leach and Craig James were apparently in the same room this week and nobody wrestled. Bummer. Leach

So far on Day Two, no buzzer beaters, but there was the obligatory #12 over #5 with Cornell thumping Temple 78-65, but the Ivy League school was everyone’s “inside” pick for an upset. Still the day hasn’t come close to generating the action that Thursday had.
