Guy Morriss: “No News is Good News.”

Posted by srr50 on March 3rd, 2010 under Football

Guy Morris has coached in the SEC (Kentucky) and the Big 12 (Baylor). Lately he has taken a step down from those days -- he is the head coach of the Div. II Texas A&M-Commerce Lions. While the spotlight isn't as bright in Commerce as it was in Lexington, or even Waco, Morris has at least found an effective method to deal with the press when they have a negative story about his team --

Richard Justice: Elegant Aggie Provocateur

Posted by Scipio Tex on July 24th, 2009 under

I'm just sayin' This is his latest attempt to mail-in on his job wherein he proposes that Texas A&M join Conference USA. How droll. He's like a humid Jonathan Swift. And why should they join Conference USA? Because they suck! And, are also dumb! And quite rural, you see. Oh he got you good, Aggies! Justice, if you don't know

Muschamp Unplugged Mother%()*$*$!

Posted by Vasherized on June 17th, 2009 under Football

Forgive the brief foray into Texas Football. I know it's anathema to the strict offseason diet we stick to here at Barking Carnival but I had a chance to attend the most recent Frank Denius lecture series at the UT Club this week where the guest was none other than our defensive coordinator, head coach in waiting, and all around bad ass, Will Muschamp. I'm no

Rockets/Lakers Game 7 Frightens Me

Posted by Trips Right on May 17th, 2009 under

Seriously, I'm almost too afraid to watch. I'm fearful of what I may see on the tube. I'm fearful of the way I'll probably act when I see it. Will I throw the remote? Will I make the kids run stairs? Kick the dog? I don't have a dog. Kick the neighbor's dog? I hate that dog. Look, like most, I'm comfortable with the possibility,

I Hope Rhett Bomar Has a Long NFL Career

Posted by Trips Right on May 15th, 2009 under Football

For Longhorn fan he's the gift that keeps on giving. And if you're a crimson and cream flunky, Rhett's the scarlet letter serving as a constant reminder of OU's history of illegal inducements, transgressions, and general asshattery that is the hallmark of Sooner nation. If the New York football Giants fitted Bomar's helmet with a mobile home logo it would be less embarassing to this outlaw program than interviews like these. Allow me

Rick Neuheisel On The Spread, Vince Young, OL Recruiting & NFL

Posted by Scipio Tex on April 9th, 2009 under

Let's talk spread A thought-provoking interview from Bruin Nation with Rick Neuheisel about myriad subjects of great interest. Neuheisel has grown a lot since his days at Colorado (hiding behind Cedric Cormier's couch - allegedly) and I respect his views though I don't find myself in raging agreement with all of them. This comment about Vince Young and the feasibility of a true NFL spread captured my attention:

Mike Sherman To Offense: Kree Gah Ya Gaa!

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 31st, 2009 under Football

Kree-Gah! I kill! I think most of us know that the problem with A&M's offense last year was its damnable complexity. They utilized an assortment of formations and plays so confoundingly intricate that Neils Bohr, much less a Land And Ranch Management major, could never hope to master it. Mike Sherman is doing something about it: “We’ve tried to limit our terminology from what it was last year,” Aggies

NCAA Taunting Rules

Posted by Scipio Tex on February 19th, 2009 under Football

The NCAA is putting some teeth into its NCAA Taunting Rules Click the link for Phenom's breakdown of the proposed rule changes; it's well worth the read. My thoughts: I support these stiff penalties wholeheartedly. Why? I just went back and re-watched the '91 Miami Hurricane Cotton Bowl. Love that opening kickoff With these

What A Difference Five Years Makes

Posted by Scipio Tex on November 12th, 2008 under Football

h/t to a poster on Orangebloods who first sniffed this out. Bill Byrne's Wednesday Weekly November 12, 2003 after losing to OU 77-0. Excerpt: We have the right leadership and staff in place to build a successful football program, and to create the same blueprint for success in building champions throughout our athletic department. We didn’t get to where we are today overnight, and it won’t be fully repaired overnight. But
