Posted by EyesOfTX on August 27th, 2009 under Football

A couple of days ago, our old friend at the Houston Chronicle, Richard Justice penned this blog entry which has caused a good deal of debate and consternation among fans in various parts of the Longhorn internets.

Posted by Trips Right on August 24th, 2009 under Basketball

According to Burnt Orange Beat, a site that continues to provide top of the line coverage on basketball and recruiting. This is my take on how Brown's arrival could affect playing time and personnel. Guys, it's going to be a special fucking year. We're cutting the nets down or we're perma-banning HenryJames.

J’Covan Brown. Where He Fits In

Posted by Trips Right on August 18th, 2009 under Basketball

We've discussed at length what to expect from the 2009-2010 Longhorn Basketball team. We've projected personnel combinations and schemes. We've hit on minute distributions. And we've made some great friends along the way... Many of the threads felt like the following. Awe. The memories. What we haven't done is discuss the ever increasing possibility that J'Covan Brown, the talented guard from bitch kicking Port Arthur, will join this talent laden squad at

Kevin Durant’s Nike Commercial

Posted by Trips Right on August 8th, 2009 under Basketball

Sweet appearance by KD with an old school rap feel. This kid's a walking recruiting billboard for the University. This ranks right up with these on my favorites list. First, gotta love the old school rivalry. Then, any commercial with Kevin McHale rapping has to be

Thoughts on Texas Basketball Playing Time Distribution

Posted by Trips Right on July 10th, 2009 under Basketball

So, by popular demand I'm here to distribute minutes hopefully with a bit more rhyme and reason than Congress distributes TARP dollars. Instead of using closed bid formulas, political glad-handing, and Ponzi-like fraud, I'll go with some common sense projection, self-importance, and whimsy to be my guide. Allow me to be Czar of Texas basketball for a season, and this is how my squad's minutes shake out. First, some assumptions. Dexter Pittman is

in the final Learfield Sports Director's Cup D-1 Standings. It's the award that is given annually to the best overall collegiate athletics program. Actually, its proper name should be the Cardinal Director's Cup since Stanford has won the award 15 years in a row. The Director's Cup, run by the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) is given out to the program with the best post-season success in both men's and women's athletics.

More A&M Chancellor Drama

Posted by Doperbo on July 1st, 2009 under

Apparently the Faculty Senate at A&M, previously best known for successfully blending togas and Carhartts during floor deliberations, passed a resolution yesterday that results in a vote of 'No Confidence' for current Chancellor Mike McKinney. You may remember McKinney from Taylor's excellent piece on the subject a few weeks ago. You may have also emailed his etch-a-sketch photo to numerous friends and family who've dissapointed you over the year as well, if not I
