Craig James — Multitasking in the ESPN Booth

Mike Leach's legal wranglings with Texas Tech, Craig James, ESPN et al may be at a standstill right now, but his high profile lawyer is busy making sure it stays in the public eye. Leach attorney Steve Heninger was on Paul Finebaum's radio show this week and said that James, while working Texas Tech games as a broadcaster, “was calling (Texas Tech) coaches from the booth during games

Texas A&M's move to the SEC! SEC! SEC! has created a mess with the Aggies 2012 home schedule. They are still trying to figure out if the Arkansas game will be in Cowboys stadium or if the (now) conference game will move to home-and-home. There also is a two-game hole in the non-conference schedule, which the Aggies would like to fill with two home games. Seems there aren't that many takers. “I've

Probably most Longhorns between the ages of 30 and 65 have a hard time not thinking of TCU as a doormat. That’s due to the UT record vs. the Frogs of 27 – 1 from 1968 to 1995. That notion is misleading. TCU has a great tradition in football, and has had long periods of bedeviling Texas. This post is meant to re-introduce you to TCU, its history, and why I’m looking forward to their

Chuck Neinas, the interim commissioner of the Big 12, did 20 minutes on a Kansas City radio station on Tuesday afternoon and said not much and quite a bit, covering expansion, realignment, the potential SEC network and West Virginia’s arrival in the B12. He’s bullish on the Big 12. He basically dodged expansion questions – there’s a blog post out there saying that Florida State and Clemson are looking for a more football-centric league.

I don't have a whole lot new to add but I have consumed a lot of media around this Penn State thing and I will point you to some of that now. Many of you have already read this but if you haven't, Spencer Hall's article here is a good place to start: Joe Paterno: Bury A Man, Keep The Statue I remember watching Penn State lose to Florida in the Citrus Bowl, sabotaged by

According to legendary NFL personnel guru Gil Brandt by way of Peter King tweet, Ryan Tannehill could be a Top 10 selection in this April’s draft. That’s, um, a tad higher than I’d have thought he would go, particularly after suffering a fractured foot that may keep him out of the Combine. Oh, and there was also the little matter of 27-25 4EVAAAA!!!!!!! In all seriousness, though, I suppose anything’s possible – especially in the

The Austin American-Statesman is reporting on its website tonight that the UT Board of Regents will extend Mack Brown's contract through the 2020 season. The Board of Regents are scheduled to meet this Thursday by telephone to consider the contract extension. The new deal would add four years to Brown's current pact and would continue to award an annual raise of $100,000. Brown's compensation package is presently at $5.2 million a year.

Good morning, class. I hope you had a nice weekend. Now take out your pencils -- it's pop quiz time. Don't worry. This should be a breeze. QUIZ Which team is better in each of the following two scenarios: (1) Team A, which finished a 16-game regular season with an 10-6 record or Team B, which finished 16-0 and defeated Team A in Team A's home stadium? (2) Team A,

Reports out of both Oregon and Tampa are saying that Chip Kelly is about to jump to the NFL Bucs. In his short three-year tenure as the Oregon Ducks head coach, Kelly has a phenomenal 34-6 record -- including three BCS Bowl appearances including a BCS title game loss to Auburn. Supposedly Kelly has been involved in negotiations over contract details and a final agreement could come as soon as tomorrow. Questions abound over the proposed

SB Nation recently released its Way Too Early 2012 College Football BlogPoll and I was silly enough to try to pick winners and losers in 2012 without even so much as a Spring practice report (routes looked crisp! Joe Bergeron snapped a thigh master! Case McCoy exhibited moxie in pre-scrimmage stretching!) Here it is:
