TX-OU 35 Years Ago: It Still Matters
It's TX-OU week. Everything is ramped up -- the hype, the anger, as well as the genuine mistrust between the two programs. Fans know this and they hardly need any added factors to increase the vitriol, but it is always there. This year it is realignment fiasco. Huck has pointed out already today...
Reliving the Wishbone: Now and Then
I'm still curious about what else HarsinWhite 2011 has in mind for our Wildcat packages this season. The Jesus was dead on about having 2 different operators for those schemes (Shipley and Fozzy so far) and the scrimmage videos at MackBrown-texasfootball suggest that the zone-read is being utilized...
OU Freshman Football Players Arrested
Not just any freshman football players, Kenny Stills and Tony Jefferson, OU's best ones. Too bad Roy Finch and Trey Millard couldn't get in on the act. No official word on whether Stills was texting while driving and/or actually paid for the gas that was in the car.
Marcus Dupree: The Best That Never Was
In 1982, as today, recruiting was a blood sport -- it just didn't command the 24/7 coverage that it gets now, thanks to the multiple media outlets that litter the landscape. I was working for KTBC-TV here in Austin and in early 1982 there was a running back out of Philadelphia, MS. that was...
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....
One More Time: Why This Game is Special
"The University of Texas football season begins with the Oklahoma game. All before that is so much throat-clearing." Dan Jenkins, Sports Illustrated. When Bo Schembechler resigned at Michigan, ABC persuaded him to work a few football games as a color analyst. Schembechler never really warmed to...
The North Carolina Agent Fiasco The John Blake Stain
A man is known by the company he keeps, but also by the company from which he is kept out. - Grover Cleveland Butch Davis and the North Carolina Carolina Tar Heels made a statement to the college football world when they hired John Blake to head their football recruiting operations. And now...
Two Mexican Midget Wrestlers Killed by Fake Prostitutes
Seriously. What has this world come to when two altitude challenged people can't exchange hard earned currency for a twirl? When midget wrestlers can't get laid, then the terrorists have won. Tragic to be sure. But this line is pure gold. Autopsies are being performed on the two midget...
I Hope Rhett Bomar Has a Long NFL Career
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...
Berry Tramel Calls Out Stoops for Chaisson
A great article this morning from one of the few potentially sane people in the Sooner state when it comes to the Chaisson fiasco. I congratulate Mr. Tramel (he of the Bullfeathers episode) for telling it like it is and calling a sociopath a sociopath. As HenryJames pointed out, this screw driver...
