2009 Baylor Football Preview: State of the Union

Posted by Trips Right on August 26th, 2009 under Football

If I'm looking at the upcoming football season through the prism of a Baylor fan I can't help but be hopeful. And I'm not talking Shawshank Redemption hopeful where I'm worried about prison rape and crawling through a mile of raw sewage, I'm talking legitimate hope, although it has probably seemed like a prison sentence for the last 15 years or so for the fighting Mike Singletaries.

Posted by Scipio Tex on August 7th, 2009 under Football

College Football News, bringers of the "Reggie McNeal is much better than Vince Young" amusement, proves that a thousand monkeys placed in front of a thousand keyboards is an attainable dream. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to give a site to the guys who lead stadium cheers and demand to name the defense on your team's bulletin board, read on. Texas CFN Prediction: 9-3

Bradford vs McCoy stat of the day

Posted by HenryJames on August 2nd, 2009 under Football

Got this from FiesoleHorn over on BurntOrangeBeat. Over the last 40 minutes of the Texas game, Sam leads his team on 2 scoring drives while throwing two picks. Over the last 40 minutes of the Florida game, Sam leads his team on 1 scoring drive while throwing two picks. 80 minutes of football, a combined 3 scoring drives and 4 interceptions... in the two biggest games of the year against the only two legit defenses faced all

Forecasting The Big 12 South – 2009

Posted by TaylorTRoom on July 30th, 2009 under Football

Anybody have a problem with speculative guessing, supported by a framework of decent analysis techniques but sketchy inputs?  I didn't think so. In trying to predict the Big 12 South this year, what information do we have to work with? Only the schedules. Any power ratings of teams are just guesses and predictions right now. Once the games start, and the results come in, we'll have a much better idea of relative quality and chances to

2009 Media Preseason Big 12 Team

Posted by Scipio Tex on July 26th, 2009 under Football

OU has eight first team players. We have four. I hope we can stay within five touchdowns of them in Dallas. HenryJames think that depth is more crucial than marquee media names. I agree. I'm not a big fan of preseason All-Star teams as they tend to be a recognition of the players that journalists are most familiar with, taking inordinate input from coaches and SIDs

Texas was one of only three programs to produce athletics revenue over $100 million last school year. Ohio State

Fun With Phil Steele’s College Football Preview: The Offense

Posted by Trips Right on June 12th, 2009 under Football

I was given a handsome budget to cover the NBA finals and this is all I could come up with. Sorry Sailor, the shit's unwatchable. So, with Damion James and Texas Basketball in limbo, and college football guru Scipio rehearsing a reenactment of the 2nd Punic War with other aspiring San Franciscan thespians, I figured I'd pick up the

The Big 12’s Winningest Football Coaches Since League Inception

Posted by Scipio Tex on May 7th, 2009 under Football

The board's favorite object of Sooner abuse has put up an interesting analysis concerning Tim Griffin's Big 12 Blog detailing Big Game* Bob's dominance over the rest of the league. I certainly concede the argument to Oklahoma simply on the basis of Big 12 hardware though the postseason letdowns are becoming increasingly brutal for Sooners fans to endure and obfuscate Bob's league dominance. I was actually somewhat more interested in

Posted by srr50 on April 9th, 2009 under Football

The boys up in Norman are having a good time watching the Texas fan base get all stirred up over an * as well as some  pay raises But Bob Stoops just says it's no big deal because I know where the trophy is.
