Coaches Are PE Majors: The Aggie Edition
This week, we join Mike Sherman and Texas A&M's coaching staff in a classic meltdown of the "Let's stop doing what was working just to see what happens?" variety while Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy contributes a mid-4th quarter infusion of illogic guised as conventional wisdom to nearly throw the...
Consult This! (Seriously)
Hoo-boy. You obviously can't see me as I write, but I'm in a very steep reclining posture. It's for my health, you see. We went a little rogue for the main course of our Christmas Dinner, and tried some Three Dog Night, with a side of cream mashed potatoes and gravy.
A Remembrance of Things Past, and a reminder that things don’t last
I wrote the following in the Jones Top Ten this week: Texas and Florida are headed to the same place for very different reasons. While I fully believe that Urban Meyer has lost his passion for the game, in Mack Brown’s case, the evidence mounts that the game has simply passed him by....
What’s Eating Garrett Gilbert?
My goal as a blogger is to only make claims and arguments that can be supported by evidence. I have very little trust in subjective assessments, even when made by very informed observers. I take to heart the statement displayed on an old boss’ placard- “Without data or supporting...
Headline: Greg Davis to Remain FOREVER
Amidst all the cries of woe and calls for change, I would like to remind the fan base that Greg Davis is going to be the offensive coordinator for as long as Mack Brown is the head coach. Please cease and desist all forum, blog, and message board posts calling for his job. I bring to the table the...
Nick Saban's Soft Trap Door
WSJ Link In 2008, Bama had the nation's #1 class with 32 recruits. In 2009, he had 27. In 2010, he added 28 more. That adds up to 87 recruits the last three years, and the NCAA only allows 85 on scholarship at one time. When you consider red shirts, and that APR rules mean you can't just run a...
Farewell To The Huskers, Part 1
I see this as a three part series dealing with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Part 1 will discuss the roots of NU’s success, Part 2 will discuss what went wrong in the Big 12, and Part 3 will discuss what the future may hold for the Huskers. First off, let’s salute Nebraska for what it means to college...
Texas Hoops vs. Baylor: Post-Mortem, kinda
I really can't take it anymore. If you must know how or why Baylor continues to play Earl "the Goat" Manigault to our sports-goggled, weekend warrior check out the last Baylor write-up. What happened tonight was eerily similar. In fact, it's mindnumbingly frustrating that our staff made nary an...
Top 10 Defensive Lapses
I started this with just under 8 minutes to go in the game. Otherwise this would have been a list of 50. 1.Ladarius Dunn backdoor on Mason at 7:50 in the 2nd Half. "See Man" 2. Run-out Tweety Carter at 7:10 of 2nd Half. "Get Back MFER and stop the ball" 3. Backdoor Ladarius Dunn at 6:24 of 2nd Half...
Texas vs. Texas AM Post-Mortem
There are certain things I can take and some things I can't. For instance, when my kids don't eat their dinner because it's meatloaf, I get that. I understand. Meatloaf, for the most part, sucks out loud. But when my kids ask me to order a pizza that costs $25 and then decide they're not...
