Mack is Not Retiring
Chip Brown stated on Twitter today, "OB has learned Mack Brown sent a letter to families of Texas players saying any reports of him planning to retire are "absolutely false!" Chip Brown Twitter Hopefully, this will bury all of those rumors flying around about Mack retiring. In my opinion, this all...
Sunshine Pumping: 25 Completely Legitimate Reasons Why Texas Will Beat OU
It's Texas-OU week, which means I spend half my days getting amped for the game. After much soul searching and careful consideration, I submit to you the following well-thought out reasons why we'll BTHO Oklahoma this year. Note: all characters and events in this fanpost – even those based on...
There are a lot of high school football players in Texas.
Yes, I know, thank you Captain Obvious. But have you ever considered how many is "a lot?" And do you know how many of them stay home for college? I ran the numbers. 103 of 112 players on the University of Texas 2011 football roster graduated from high school in Texas. That's 92%. That's a...
Taking Stock – 2011 Texas Football: "Lost in Translation"
Bill Murray is a funny guy. We all remember the movie. Famous over-the-hill actor is taking jobs where he can get them. Agent gets him an endorsement gig in Japan, yada yada, gets hooked up with young impressionable girl and finds his "inner youth". As I watched Mack Brown yesterday...
Realignment Winners & Losers & The Texas Trinity

No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus...
or "No, Colt, there is no Justice", or "Sportsmanship No Longer Lives Here." In a season where Texas was predicted to be relegated to second tier in the Big 12 and led by a "butter armed" qb, Mack Brown and Colt McCoy nearly did the impossible. Texas had a great season, mostly because McCoy...
"Stoop"-ing to new heights
As a bona-fide Longhorn fan thru and thru, I begrudgingly applaud Stoops on using the system to his advantage. Using an old saying in concerning bad relationships, “Nothing gets you over the last one quicker than the next one!”, Stoops knew he had plenty of time to make voters and...
