Building around Gilbert

Posted by Nickel Rover on February 26th, 2010 under Basketball

Football: If you missed the Mack Brown press conference you can read it here. There was a lot of information in it worth examining regarding the depth charts beginning now as well as "the plan" to fix the running game. Garrett Gilbert is one of the more known commodities on next year's team. We know he has talent, can throw the ball downfield, and has the necessary leadership and poise to be a featured player.

Open Thread: Stanford Cardinal vs. Oklahoma Sooners

Posted by Sailor Ripley on December 31st, 2009 under Football

Went over to Boomer & Sooner to get a pulse count on how they thought they might fare to day, but it seems they have possibly already given up on this craptacular season the Sooners have had. Trips doesn't have a ton of comfort pulling the trigger on this contest either. I think Harbaugh and Stanford have a lot to play for and will win this. I can see the handful of non-injured Sooners

GameWatch Week 10

Posted by Scipio Tex on November 6th, 2009 under Football

One of the coolest things about living in California, aside from paying taxes that makes Belgians wince, is the fact that college football is in full swing as I breakfast: usually a fiber-rich muesli bought fair trade from Andean Indiginos. After my exfoliating regimen, making a lease payment on my Range Rover, and my Scientology self-affirmations, I begin my game-watching.

UT Athletics: Recession Proof?

Posted by srr50 on February 12th, 2009 under

These economic times are tough, and college athletic programs are not immune to the downturn of the nation's economy. For instance, a few weeks back, Stanford announced that it expects to lose $5 million over the next few years. Meanwhile. down in Florida, Miami is cutting back on travel, taking buses to in-state games, and plans to try and boost attendance by cutting ticket prices. Even the traditional powers are feeling the economic pinch. Ohio

It's back and better than FEMA. I'd post my record but it's floating somewhere in the bayou behind my back fence. And thank goodness for it because it was so bad I had to pay my bookie with a Federal Hurricane debit card. Have fun asshole, buy your old lady some teeth.

Classy as Caesar's sportsbook.

Scouting Stanford

Stanford Cardinal Personnel Brook Lopez. 7' 0" Forward. 19 ppg 8 rpg 2 bpg Of the twins, the better skilled offensive player. Usually demands a double team for teams without adequate size to play him straight up. Full fronts or 3/4 fronts aren't effective as he's got good hands and a team that excels at post entry. Important to dislodge him from the low block forcing him beyond his comfort zone where

Baseball versus Stanford

Posted by HenryJames on March 11th, 2008 under Baseball

So I finally made it over to the Disch to watch the two weekend games against Stanford. Game 1 Stanford 6 Texas 5 Stanford got the leadoff man on base six times. Kyle Russell got ejected in the 4th for arguing a called strike three. Ken Kasparek threw well, but he seems to lose his concentration and also tries to aim his pitches at times. Kyle Walker is a mess. Million dollar arm, but he can't
