The Texas Leviathan: Why We Must Stomp the Aggies
In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes famously described the plight of man in his natural state, uninformed and uncivilized. He said: “In such condition, there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth, no navigation, nor use of the...
Practice Report From The Asset
Sorry for the belated practice report but I just got home from Milwaukee, which is Algonquin for "The Good Land." Algonquins must have been drunks in my opinion (no racist), because everyone in that goddamn city drinks like a fish. But I regress, and so does my liver. On to Texas Football via...
Practice Report From The Asset--Show Me Style
I had a chance to catch up with The Asset to talk about what's going on with the Longhorns in practice and from a team standpoint this last week. That has to be welcome news to those like me who are weary from all of the off the field bombshells being dropped in college football these last few...

Team Report From The Asset
Sorry it’s been a while guys, but I’ve been real busy in Nueva York. I was able to catch up with both the Big Cigar and The Asset while sitting in La Guardia, but I’m going to hold off on the Cigar stuff until he gives me the go ahead. So the team report is going to have to do going into...
Boone Pickens Barry Switzer: Having Fun at Texas Expense
Boone Pickens is feeling pretty good these days. His $165 million investment into Oklahoma State athletics is paying the kind of dividends he had hoped for.

A Practice and a Program Update From The Asset
No Big Cigar this week because of some of the heat he took from the Case McCoy disclosure so we’ll take a respite from the humidor. Look, especially for those that don’t know, we were told that there were some issues with how Case handled the OU game down the stretch and we hinted at that in...
