Barking Carnival

Courtesy of Sport's with Mr. Factoid. Before this shot, I would have said my richochet off the 150 pole that hit my playing partner right on the knee cap was better. But this is unreal.

Tom Watson won his first of 5 British Open Championships in July of 1975 -- five months before Tiger Woods was born. Watson, now 59 heads into the weekend tied for the lead with Steve Marino at five under par. Watson fired an even par 70 today, which for me was even more impressive than his five-under 65 yesterday, because he started out the day like every other 59-year old golfer I know: he

I've never played a round of golf. I've never even played a hole of golf. I grew up literally two blocks from a public course, but I never set foot on it other than to fish and catch frogs in its pond. I don't watch golf either. I don't even read about golf. But I do know that golf is not football. Not in Texas. Not ever. So I'm reading a column by what I

Dedfischer, our favorite Texas Tech jackanape, has written a glorious essay on The Golf Prick. Read it. I have a complex relationship with Golf Pricks, as I have a few friends who are confirmed GPs, and it appears that we've allowed some of them into Barking Carnival, but that doesn't prevent me from subjecting them to withering abuse at their choice in wardrobe, their tendency to

Now for Greg Davis: On expectations of the spring game: There are some young guys who have not been in that setting very often, so we want to see them with the crowd there and the band there, coaches working from the boundary and not shouting assignments out to them and see what they know and how they'll react to that situation. We want to play a lot of different

Well, we have one weekend left, and all of the B12 south teams are playing each other. Each game has national and conference title implications. Let's take a look at the matchups with an eye to conference game statistics, and see if we get any insight. Note- I'm using the stats from the conference games only (seven games for each school). I'm going to pair schools with their upcoming opponent. Offense: UT 464.7 ypg, 40.0 ppg TAMU 379.3

Grateful for the win. And for the McCoy/Shipley/Cosby One Brain. Make no mistake, we brought our A game. The notion that we did not implies that we'd look different if we played them again or that effort was lacking. We wouldn't. It wasn't. They'd expose us in the same exact ways; just as we'd expose them. A team that converts 11 of 14 on third down isn't in

Article in the Tulsa World today about Oklahoma State's struggles against Texas, particularly in Austin. Oklahoma State has lost their last 10 games in Austin. They haven't won in Austin since 1944. Texas has outscored OSU in the second half of the last five games 158-14. “It has been pretty amazing,” Mike Gundy said. “I don’t think anybody here feels (cursed). It never crosses my mind.” Sure it doesn't.

Gundy, get in here. Mr Pickens? Take a knee and put this cardboard beer helmet on your head. You know the drill. Will do. Gundy, you look like an Amarillo golf pro that humped an oil slick. Yes sir.

Now that Tommy Bowden has been fired mutually agreed to step down at Clemson, we can look at potential candidates. Muschamp's name will surface for every job, but I don't think this is the one. While traveling the internet, I found these guys as potentials (in my order of likelihood): Lane Kiffin - the first name in the hopper with Muschamp; he could start now and the AD has ties
