Moby Dicks

Posted by BrickHorn on July 28th, 2009 under

I only recently became aware of one of television's most frustratingly addictive hours of programming, Animal Planet's Whale Wars. For those of you unfamiliar with the show, the basic premise is this: a group of potheads from Moore Hill dorm hooked up with the foreign exchange students from your high school, bought a boat, painted it black with skulls and whales and other hallmarks of stoner art and hired a pudgy, disheveled, middle-aged geek

The Heck do ya Mean?!

Posted by Minnesotahorn on June 10th, 2009 under Uncategorized

Reports have surfaced indicating that Texas is in negotiations with the University of Minnesota for a home and home and Barking Carnival's exclusive sources* indicate that talks may be coming to a head.  For obvious reasons this appeals to me personally but it's also a continuation of a trend in our scheduling that I think is worth exploring.  *My aunt Sandra who works in U of M admissions, has nothing to do with and little

Well, here's one way to keep defenders away from your hands when pass blocking. Given that this was Tech, the peeing burned intensely. This stadium belongs to us! h/t to Dr Saturday.

Mike Leach Mourns Pirate Slayings, Loss Of Somali Recruiting Pipeline

Posted by Scipio Tex on April 14th, 2009 under Football

Texas Tech football head coach Mike Leach greeted news of Monday's unsuccessful pirate operation in the Indian Ocean with consternation, sources say. Today, he revealed some of those feelings at an impromptu press conference held at Applebees, ranked #2 on Lubbock's Trip Advisor restaurant rankings. "The brotherhood of the pirate is a world fraternity," said Leach in his Tuesday morning press conference. "Today I mourn for the

Leach Has No Patience For Eazy-E

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

Barking Carnival is a fan of Leach for a number of reasons, despite Mike taking a massive whiz in our '08 football Cheerios, but it is almost forgiven after reading about Leach's treatment of starting WR Ed Britton. It seems Easy Ed wasn't showing up to study hall, so Leach had him study in the one place where Ed was known to be on time. Jones Stadium. During a winter

Dinner for Five

Posted by Doperbo on February 25th, 2009 under

One of my longest running internal debates is whether or not I'm gay. I actually didn't write that, one of my colleagues did while I was on break. I decided to leave it in for the manifold enjoyments it might offer our readers; in that my bit of it remains a nicely turned phrase, it's a unique look into the working conditions I deal with here at Barking Carnival, and it's also a not so subtle

Let’s Review the Big 12 South

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 25th, 2008 under Football

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

Texas/Texas Tech Football Post Mortem

Posted by Scipio Tex on November 2nd, 2008 under Football

Also see HenryJames' post on pain and EyesofTX's, G, B & U. _____________________________________ Texas/Texas Tech Football Post Mortem Congratulations to Texas Tech. Mike Leach is a favorite at Barking Carnival but we're chagrinned to be crewing the galleon that he boarded and pillaged. That's Tech at their swashbuckling best and they did it with the national spotlight burning on their peg legs and shoulder-perched parrots. They deserve the unrestrained joy of rushing their

Liveblogging the Mack Brown press conference

Posted by Doperbo on October 27th, 2008 under Football

I got in late, didn’t hear the opening question. Based on the length of the monologue it must have been a doozy. Okay, just checked, it was “Good morning.” Here’s the last part of the response: … feel like it’s a really fun time. It’s a neat deal for college football and for the kids, and it’s really special for a home crowd that was a record here for attendance and that’s really fun. I
