Aaron Williams Declares for the NFL Draft
It's true. Even the Statesman has the report. This obviously will make our already porous secondary even more of a project next year. Our top three corners from last year will have all left the 40 acres. The elder Williams said he and his son consulted with numerous former Longhorns as well as...
It's official. Deloss Dodds sets date with polygamist.
. . . to play contests of foosball in 2013 and 2014 according to the Worlz Wize Weazer in sports. If it is an early season game, then the trip to Provo in 2013 is a nice break from 105 with humidity. Also, if you are an uppity mountain hippy trout chaser, then you can float the Green. A friend of...
Texas-Notre Dame Football Series Is On
Great move for all parties. Dare I say win-win? Both schools get an opponent that will excite fans and draw national attention. Pencil in College Gameday now. From the Longhorn perspective, if Brian Kelly has Notre Dame turned around by then, it's a marquee game with national implications that...
The Best Party Schools In America: Texas #6
The Princeton Reviews' top party schools list is out and Texas is a respectable #6. I'm confident that with a few changes, we can get back firmly into the Top 5. First move? Replace the milkshake machines at the Pi Phi house with poor grade moonshine. But won't that make them drunk and...
Recruiting, Demographics, The Longhorn Network
If one understands this and this ... Then you understand this as a function of this. Then you also understand our desire to preserve rights to and grow this is not just about money. The bottom line: The Longhorn Network, as outlined in the DMN article, is a property that should be worth 10...
Mao Nods Approvingly At Media's Economic Comprehension
Dumb and dumber opine. "The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil." - HL Mencken John Saunders has always had a weird disdain for Texas. Gilmore and Howard thank God for alternate degree...
Anticipatory Breach of Contract
If you don't understand what that is, get your education at Better Off Red. The comments section is particularly illuminating. Nebraska went into the meetings with a strategy that was not meant to create understanding or compromise so much as provide court fodder that Texas and others were...
Realignment Winners Losers The Texas Trinity
Big 12, love ya, babe! If Texas is college football God (just ask us), then it is a God of the Trinity. The athletic department, the fans, the university. We just found out who the Holy Father is when it comes to setting the course for saving (selling) our conference salvation. The fans are the...
The Big 12, Nebraska, and the Red Herrings
It’s pretty interesting to read the comments on Big 12 conference realignment articles. They are filled with Nebraska supporters explaining why it’s not the Huskers’ fault if the league starts to break up, started by a Nebraska bolt to the Big 10-plus. Basically, they explain,...
Around The FanTake Network
If you're not aware, FanTake is the name of our network. And FanTake is pronounced the way you think it is, though when I showed it to a friend, he asked me,"What does Fan-tah-kay mean?" - pronouncing it with a Japanese intonation, rhyming it with the word bukkake. No. It's Fan Take. As in, the...
