If we can stop Tim Duncan…

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 14th, 2010 under Basketball

Basketball: 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

John Calipari is a Caricature of Sleaze

Posted by Trips Right on January 26th, 2010 under Basketball

Everyone knows the history here. Coach Cal bought and paid for Lou Roe and Marcus Camby among others to vault himself into the national spotlight taking the Minuteman program along for a flash-in-the-pan ride. I wish former Temple Coach John Chaney would have been 10 years younger at the time because I would have loved to watch Mr. Temple Owl break his foot off in that sleaze bag's ass.

Texas Longhorns Hoops and the Top 5 errr 6

Posted by Trips Right on December 3rd, 2009 under Basketball

Just before Texas gets into the meat of its nonconference schedule, let's talk about the top 5 or 6 teams, along with the Horns, that are vying for the number 1 spot on "Trips Right's Way Too Early, If You're Going to Crown Them Crown Them, National Championship Contending" list, or TRWTEIYGTCTCTNCC list for short.

Barking Bets: Week Six, Enter Huck’s Supercomputer

Posted by Trips Right on October 7th, 2009 under Football

Well week 5 was certainly one to remember and could have been even better had CSU not crapped the second half bed. A double digit first half lead on dominating line play was erased in the second half by horrible effort and inexplicable play calling. Ah well, 6-1 while pocketing a gluttonous 8 units isn't a bad week. If you're scoring at home we have an en fuego 10-3 record over the

Barking Carnival’s Rx for Bye Week Blues

Posted by Scipio Tex on September 30th, 2009 under Football

No Paxil involved. As disappointed as we all are that Texas doesn't have a directional school from a dubious conference to pummel this weekend, you don't have to fall prey to the Bye Week Blues.

Tim Tebow Probably Just Cemented Another Heisman

Posted by Sailor Ripley on September 26th, 2009 under Football

Dude led his team to victory against a milquetoast Kentucky Wildcat squad while suffering from the flu, took a huge hit, rode on a golf cart, barfed in a Hefty bag and drove off in the back of an ambulance. The end-of-game montage with the hit and the flashing emergency lights were pure poetry. Then they go to the Houston / Texas Tech game and Mike Patrick wishes a very heartfelt speedy recovery to The

Memphis Indiscretion May Lead to Kentucky Headache

Posted by Trips Right on August 20th, 2009 under Basketball

More on cheating from ESPN. I like the trend. Anyway, this is in no way a shocker to the folks that were paying attention. John Calipari, neck tats, and entrance test shenanigans go together like peanut butter and jelly. Throw in the cess pool that has always been Memphis basketball, and an NCAA investigation was a matter of when and not if. As for vacating wins, that is merely a flesh

John Wall Dunks on Jerry Stackhouse

Posted by Trips Right on August 11th, 2009 under Basketball

And Kentucky announces its presence on College basketball's landscape with authority. The story goes that a college scout went to watch Jerry Stackhouse play in an AAU tournament. The 6-6 senior to be was so thoroughly prison raped by a 6-3 pre-injury upstart sophomore named Randy Livingston, that the scout left the arena doubting Jerry's ability to play at a big time level. Two decades and 18 Randy Livingston knee surgeries later and the

The SEC TV Contract – What it Means to The Big 12

Posted by srr50 on August 4th, 2009 under Football

the ACC, Big 10, Big East and the Pac 10. Heading into the 2009 football season, the Southeastern Conference is begining a 15-year deal with ESPN and CBS that makes the conference "A First Among Equals" in the BCS. While the numbers are staggering in terms of money flowing to SEC schools, the ramifactions of the contracts reach beyond the bottom line. But first and foremost, it is the money that catches your attention. REVENUE "Timing Is
