Texas Offers Florida OL!
Posted by Patrick Bateman on March 2nd, 2010 under Football
Update: Max Lang, besides being slower than Shaun Rogers going to a yoga class, also is hard of hearing. Texas did offer......it was just followed by a Tech!
Apparently, we offered Max Lang from the Orlando, Florida area. He claims we called him pretty much out of the blue and offered. Other offers per Rivals are FSU, FIU, South Carolina, South Florida, and UCF. Some should be happy he's not an in-state kid.

Posted by HenryJames on February 25th, 2010 under Football
Bible said this week that Texas will win four national championships and the next four Red River Rivalry games while he’s a Longhorn. His predictions seem to throw all those low-key, humble observations about him out the window -- except when you hear the reasoning behind his projections.
"The teamwork, the chemistry, the trust, the coaches and the talent we possess,” he said, explaining why Texas will four-peat, “the fact that we know we’re high
And it's a big one.
GP North Shore stud OL Sedrick Flowers has committed to the University of Texas Longhorns.

Posted by Nickel Rover on February 23rd, 2010 under Basketball
Football:
There is an informative interview on the ESPN Big 12 blog with Greg Davis where you can find a few nuggets that seem to point towards what I already expected from his offense in it's next form.
We’re going to go back under center with the quarterback some more. We played the last two years almost exclusively out of the shotgun. We will continue to play a lot of the game from the shotgun, but

Don’t listen to Seth Davis, Texas is a shell and Wisconsin is over seeded as a four. Kentucky will run them out of he gym. Kentucky walks to elite 8 where WVU will have something for them.

Kentucky gets screwed by drawing WVU. The good news is the Cats got a pretty good top of the bracket draw.

In the West, Syracuse has a walk to the sweet sixteen, but Butler can give them problems.
Syracuse gets KSU as their two so it looks like either Kentucky or Duke is stuck with WVU. Tough break. Pitt as a three is a joke. If I’m Self I’m really pissed now. KU

Carlos Dunlap is going to be an incredible pro. If he goes to the Ravens that is going to suck for their opponents.
I can’t see McClain going that high. And I keep hearing that Claussen has dropped.
What are the chances of the Steelers drafting a QB early? They can’t feel
