Colt McCoy: Smarter Than An Apostle, Dumber Than An Okie

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 10th, 2010 under Football

The Wonderlic scores have been leaked and when something like this happens, I pretty much always blame the British and Germans.

Around the Rivals

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 8th, 2010 under Baseball

Football: Boomer And Sooner dig into spring football with NateHeupel pausing to chastize Longhorn fans for our disappointment in an 8th seeded basketball team and our hopes for Garrett Gilbert. OU fan knows well that 2nd year quarterbacks never amount to too much... He rates their DE group as the "most proven in the conference" which is another way of phrasing how I would put it, "inevitably the 2nd best behind the Sacho and co." Their

Texas Hoops vs. Oklahoma: Post-Mortem

Posted by Trips Right on March 1st, 2010 under Basketball

For most of the season, Jordan Hamilton and Rick Barnes have had as much common ground when it comes to basketball as Julie Andrews and James Hetfield would have had on music.

Around the Horns

Football: Conference realignment is the king blog topic these days and some of the heavyweights have been drawn out to add their thoughts. Peter Bean writes that a move to the Pac-10 is a more likely scenario than the Big 10 but ultimately concludes that Texas is in a strong position to stand pat and still emerge on top in any potential storm. Our own srr50 adds emphasis on the almighty dollar and how Texas

Rick Barnes answers…

Texas Football: Since I didn't have anything on Monday I'm back today with thoughts on some of the individual guys in the current class of 13. I don't have much to say on the OL as I generally agree with the Roll On You Bears take that projecting the potential of 300 pound bullies dominating 200 pound lineman in highlight tapes is about has roughly the same predictive value as a Paul Krugman column.

Dont bet against the Spread

Posted by Nickel Rover on February 10th, 2010 under Football

Better Of Red has a great column up by SeattleHusker on "the death of the spread" where he points to Linebacker recruitment as the greatest sign that the days of the spread running roughshod over this league are over. His own Huskers, in particular, frequently ran dime defenses against Big 12 teams including our own Longhorns. If I were a fan of the team that locked down Texas like they did in Big 12

Texas Basketball vs. OU Post-Mortem, imo

Posted by Trips Right on February 6th, 2010 under Basketball

I really don't have the inclination to hash the game out for those didn't watch it. At this point the team isn't worth a lot of effort. Anyway, just open up a boxscore and you'll get the picture. We shot the ball poorly. From everywhere. Especially the foul line, where we were an embarrassing 10-27. Say that out loud. Ten for fucking 27. Some teams go

If we can slow down Mookie Blaylock, we have a chance.

Did we get any left tackles in that recruiting class?

Posted by Nickel Rover on February 5th, 2010 under Football

Recruiting: Well, as HenryJames has already pointed out here Nolan Brewster, Emmanuel Acho and Mason Walters are out for spring practice and there are some interesting details in the comments section including some info from someone who claims connections to Walter's hometown and a depressing diagnoses by Dr. Scipio of "Walton Foot" which you may know as the disease that brought down one of the most talented basketball players in the history of the NBA.
